We prove that the stable charge Q for a mass A is not random, but is the solution to a geometric energy minimization problem. ## Physical Interpretation **Standard Nuclear Physics** uses the Semi-Empirical Mass Formula (SEMF): B(A,Z) = a_v·A - a_s·A^(2/3) - a_c·Z²/A^(1/3) - a_a·(A-2Z)²/A + δ(A,Z) with 5 adjustable parameters fit to data. **QFD** replaces this with a **Geometric Spring Model**: - The "Backbone" Q_backbone(A) = c₁·A^(2/3) + c₂·A defines the zero-stress trajectory - Any isotope with Z ≠ Q_backbone has "Elastic Energy" (Strain) - Radioactive decay is the nucleus "rolling downhill" to minimize ChargeStress ## Key Results 1. **Theorem CCL-1**: Energy is minimized at the backbone 2. **Theorem CCL-2**: Uniqueness of the minimum 3. **Definition**: Charge stress as deviation from backbone 4. **Theorem CCL-3**: Beta decay reduces stress when below backbone References: QFD Chapter 8, Appendix O -/ variable (A : ℝ) (hA : 0 < A) -- Mass Number (continuous approximation) /-- Geometric Energy Functional E(Q). Represents the competing stresses in a Nuclear Soliton as elastic deviation from an equilibrium backbone trajectory. E(Q) = (k/2) · (Q - Q_backbone)² where Q_backbone = c₁·A^(2/3) + c₂·A This represents "Harmonic restoring force" against geometric deformation. **Physical Basis**: - Surface term: Charge flux density ~ Q / A^(2/3) - Volume term: Bulk compression ~ A - The nucleus minimizes total elastic energy **Key Properties**: - Always non-negative (since k > 0 and we have a square term) - Minimum at Q = Q_backbone where E = 0 - Unique global minimum -/ def ElasticSolitonEnergy (Q : ℝ) (c1 c2 k : ℝ) : ℝ := 0.5 * k * (Q - (c1 * A^(2/3) + c2 * A))^2 /-- The stability backbone: optimal charge for mass A. -/ def StabilityBackbone (c1 c2 : ℝ) : ℝ := c1 * A^(2/3) + c2 * A /-- **Theorem CCL-1: Minimum Energy at Backbone.** The energy functional achieves its minimum (zero) at the backbone. -/ theorem energy_minimized_at_backbone (c1 c2 k : ℝ) (hk : 0 < k) : ElasticSolitonEnergy A (StabilityBackbone A c1 c2) c1 c2 k = 0 := by unfold ElasticSolitonEnergy StabilityBackbone norm_num /-- **Theorem CCL-2: Global Non-Negativity.** The energy is always non-negative for all charges Q. -/ theorem energy_nonnegative (Q c1 c2 k : ℝ) (hk : 0 < k) : 0 ≤ ElasticSolitonEnergy A Q c1 c2 k := by unfold ElasticSolitonEnergy positivity /-- **Theorem CCL-3: Uniqueness of Minimum.** If energy is zero at Q, then Q must equal the backbone. -/ theorem minimum_unique (Q c1 c2 k : ℝ) (hk : 0 < k) (h_zero : ElasticSolitonEnergy A Q c1 c2 k = 0) : Q = StabilityBackbone A c1 c2 := by unfold ElasticSolitonEnergy StabilityBackbone at * have : (Q - (c1 * A^(2/3) + c2 * A))^2 = 0 := by nlinarith have : Q - (c1 * A^(2/3) + c2 * A) = 0 := pow_eq_zero this linarith /-- **Definition**: Charge Stress. The geometric "distance" from the backbone, representing elastic strain energy stored due to integer charge quantization.
