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.
