Summary
Proposal from Łukasz Smoliński (contributor; paper + code links below) for resolving the two open problems on the EWT / Combined Wolff-LaFreniere (W-L) status sheet (m3_wolff_lafreniere/research/0_STATUS.md). This issue captures the full reasoning so anyone can evaluate it openly and run the proposed test. The claims below are the proposal to be evaluated, not yet validated in-platform.
A first code contribution exists: PR #205 (golden-angle / spherical-phyllotaxis K-selectivity test).
The two open problems (from 0_STATUS.md)
| # |
Problem |
Current state |
| 1 |
K-selectivity |
All K = 2..10 are equally stable at perfect placement; K = 10 actually breaks worst under perturbation. The energy landscape does not discriminate K = 10 from simpler geometries |
| 2 |
Perturbation-robust stability |
Combined W-L has shallow equilibria, no fine structure to discriminate K = 10 from others |
Root cause per the proposal: Combined W-L assumes linear scaling of energy with the number of wave centers, giving a flat landscape where all K are degenerate.
Proposed EWT resolution (two interconnected geometric mechanisms)
Mechanism 1: the r⁵ vs r³ energy-density non-linearity
In EWT a soliton's energy scales as E ∝ r⁵ (volumetric occupancy r³ × amplitude r × frequency 1/r), while the volume available for geometric compensation scales only as V ∝ r³. The r⁵/r³ = r² disparity is a strong non-linearity: growing the soliton radius (hence K) sharply raises the energy density.
- For the electron configuration the ratio
(r_e/r_ν)⁵ = 10¹⁰ creates a quantized energy gap that isolates K = 10 from its neighbors.
- Beyond
K = 10 the r² term forces the system to shed excess energy into nested shells, the muon and tau generations (the "Onion Model").
- Without the
r⁵ vs r³ imbalance, all K stay degenerate and minima stay shallow (exactly the Combined W-L behavior).
- The magnetic deficit
ε_M = 1/(8π⁷) and the lattice coupling factor g_v add a K-dependent non-linear compression (spin-induced torque) that carves a deep, narrow potential well only at K = 10 (and recursively via the Onion Model).
Note from the author: in the paper K_WC (wave centers) is not the same as K (nodal metrics).
Mechanism 2: golden-angle (spherical phyllotaxis) self-organization
Rather than a regular polyhedral arrangement of point sources, the wave centers self-organize by spherical phyllotaxis, the golden-angle distribution (~137.5°) that minimizes destructive interference (the same principle as sunflower seed packing).
K = 10 is the smallest K for which the pattern "closes" on the sphere, forming a coherent standing wave.- For
K > 10, excess energy forces recursive shells (muon, tau) rather than a single overloaded core.
- Spin matters: the golden-angle configuration alone may not suffice. Geometric rotation of the whole wave-center ensemble provides gyroscopic rigidity against perturbation; the magnetic deficit represents the coupling between this rotation and the BCC-lattice stiffness, and the resulting magnetic torque compresses the soliton, deepening the well exactly at
K = 10.
Falsifiable test for OpenWave
Initialize K = 2..12 wave centers in golden-angle configurations with an initial angular momentum, and measure whether only K = 10 forms a stable, spherical standing wave that survives perturbation. The geometry predicts K = 10 is the unique ground state by phyllotactic necessity, not by assumption.
Started in PR #205. The author notes spin / initial angular momentum should be included to capture the full stabilization mechanism.

What to evaluate
- Does the
r⁵ vs r³ energy-density argument actually produce a deep, narrow well only at K = 10 when implemented in the platform (vs the current flat, linear landscape)?
- Does the golden-angle + angular-momentum initialization make
K = 10 uniquely survive perturbation across K = 2..12?
- Are
ε_M = 1/(8π⁷) and g_v reproducible / derivable in-platform, or fitted?
- Does the Onion Model recover the muon / tau generations as nested shells?
Constructive criticism explicitly welcomed by the author. Proposal raised by Łukasz Smoliński (with Jeff Yee on the thread); captured here so the platform community can evaluate and extend it openly.
