This talk frames matter and energy as emergent from local zero-point energy (ZPE) field density and asks what becomes possible if ZPE density can be engineered. It critiques the way early quantum theory “ghosted” the vacuum, then highlights stochastic electrodynamics (SED) as a physical-plenum alternative: a Lorentz-invariant sea of real fluctuations where inertia can be modeled as ZPF Lorentz drag (HRP), with extensions that treat constants as density-linked and time-variable (e.g., Setterfield). From there it introduces the “Miller Framework” as an engineering roadmap for “vacuum metric engineering,” built around six pillars (Madelung-style vacuum-as-fluid transition, a refractive-index-like coupling constant, Bohmian-trajectory thrust concepts, a nonlinear thrust scaling law, a “quantum packing fraction” coherence threshold around 4.64, and a recursive saturation threshold positioned as a lower-energy path compared to the Schwinger limit), aiming at propellantless thrust and vacuum-catalyzed fusion concepts.
