The Faulkner Collapse Equation A Structural Model of Energy Emergence from Recursive Field Tension

The Faulkner Collapse Equation proposes a geometric extension to Einstein’s famous energy-mass relationship. Rather than replacing E = mc^2, this model introduces two new variables: \mu (mu): Collapse resistance — a measure of structural tension resisting curvature \nu (nu): Inertial memory — describing delayed or persistent energy behavior after motion shifts These coefficients define how energy emerges not directly from mass, but from the resolution of field geometry. The theory suggests that structured collapse is the true origin of energy release—bridging gaps between relativistic curvature and field-based emergence. This framework offers a structurally testable, field-based interpretation of mass-energy dynamics and provides insight into phenomena such as inertia, delayed emission, and curvature-induced energy propagation. — Author profile: ORCID: William Faulkner Google Scholar
