⬡ Nuclear
From the structure of the proton and neutron to precise binding energy predictions across the periodic table, unifying nuclear physics with the Weber electrodynamics of knot particles.
V4 Engine Validation
Core Concepts
V4 Nuclear Engine
Links to /software/v4-nuclear-engine for full docs. ~1% mean error across 116 elements. Calibrated to α-particle and deuteron binding energies.
Proton Structure
The proton is T(2,3): winding numbers p=2, q=3. Its mass and charge emerge from the torus knot geometry. The p/q ratio appears in the V4 engine constants.
Neutron Structure
The neutron is T(3,2): winding numbers p=3, q=2. Same cluster as the proton but with exchanged winding — the charge mirror that gives zero net charge.
Proton–Neutron Mass Splitting
Why is the neutron 1.293 MeV heavier than the proton? From the T(2,3)/T(3,2) asymmetry in Weber binding energy.
Octonion Flavour Assignments
G₂ ⊃ SU(3) assignments for the 8D octonion structure. Maps octonion basis vectors to quark flavour. Open investigation: 8D assignments not yet frozen.
Drip Lines
Nuclear drip lines predicted by the V4 engine. Where the engine predicts zero or negative binding energy defines the neutron/proton drip line.
