Element Formation as Oscillatory Self-Regulation in Inertial Basins (QTG Framework) Author: Nazareno Angeli Abstract This paper presents a Quantum Tachyonic Gravity (QTG) interpretation of nucleosynthesis. In this framework, elements form and decay through oscillatory self-regulation within local inertial basins. The Big Bang, stellar ignition, fusion chains, and heavy-element instability all emerge as phase transitions in the baryonic–shadow mass field. The periodic table is thus a map of allowed oscillatory minima for our basin, not a universal set of absolutes. 1. Introduction According to QTG, all matter is stabilized oscillation within a universal quantum field. Baryonic particles are coherent asymmetries; shadow mass is the ensemble of possible but unrealized configurations. Inertial basins are the stable background states that determine which oscillations can exist. Element formation is a natural consequence of basin evolution. 2. Primordial Era: The Near-Zero Inertial Basin After the Big Bang, the universe existed in a nearly featureless inertial basin with minimal oscillatory complexity. Only hydrogen and helium—simplest proton-electron structures— could survive. Heavier structures collapsed instantly because the basin provided no stabilizing counter-oscillation. 3. Protostellar Collapse: First Basin Shift Gravitational collapse (a shadow-mass field response) increased local density. Photon trapping and rising temperature shifted the inertial basin. Under this new oscillatory environment, fusion became favorable and stars ignited. 4. Fusion as Field Equilibrium Seeking Fusion is not simply particles overcoming Coulomb barriers. It is the field reorganizing itself toward a lower-energy, higher-stability oscillatory configuration. Each fusion stage adjusts the basin, making further reactions possible. 5. Cascading Basin Transitions and Heavy Elements As heavier nuclei form, the inertial basin evolves. Each transition shifts which protonneutron arrangements are energetically stable. This explains the fusion chain terminating at iron: it represents a basin plateau where further fusion produces no net stabilizing effect.
6. Short-Lived Exotic Elements Artificial and transuranic elements decay rapidly because the current inertial basin does not support their oscillatory structure. These elements are temporary distortions rapidly corrected by the field through radioactive decay. 7. Basin-Driven Nuclear Decay Radioactivity is the field correcting incompatible configurations. Alpha, beta, and gamma decay are different modes of oscillatory relaxation, not independent forces. Half-lives reflect basin compatibility, not universal constants. 8. Predictive Implications of the QTG Model • Different galaxies may support different maximum atomic numbers. • Decay rates should drift subtly across cosmic regions. • Heavy elements may stabilize in alternate inertial basins. • Cosmological metallicity is an emergent property of basin history. 9. Conclusion QTG reframes elemental formation as oscillatory basin evolution rather than a sequence of unrelated nuclear forces. The periodic table reflects our basin's stable configurations, not universal laws. This approach unifies stellar physics, nuclear chemistry, and cosmic evolution under a single explanatory mechanism.
