Persistent recurrence, bound energy and effective inertial response.
EFFECTIVE CLOSED
Mass mechanism
Persistent recurrent configurations provide a candidate substrate for bound energy. At the effective calibrated level, the inertial response is represented by:
\[m=\frac{E_{\mathrm{bound}}}{c^2}\]
The project has audited consistency with mass-defect reasoning, center-of-energy behavior and passive-gravity/inertia weighting.
What is closed
- Bound energy can act as the effective source of inertial response.
- The same bound-energy bookkeeping is compatible with mass defect and center-of-energy reasoning.
- No separate fundamental “mass substance” is required by the working architecture.
OPEN
What is not yet derived
- The observed particle spectrum.
- Absolute masses and mass ratios from first principles.
- A universal nonlinear stability theorem for all localized recurrent classes.
