Economic Gauge Field Theory: A Physical Analogy of Capital Concentration and Collapse

This paper introduces Economic Gauge Field Theory, a novel framework that draws an analogy between modern economic structures and physical gauge fields. It interprets the concentration of capital and population in urban centers as a curvature of the economic potential landscape, leading to flow gradients and systemic instability. The theory suggests that collapse arises not only from external shocks but from internal structural distortion, much like a gravitational or electromagnetic singularity. This approach provides new insight into capital dynamics, urging a reevaluation of decentralization and systemic balance through the lens of physical field theory.
