The OMEGA Threshold Model: A Biophysical and Quantitative Approach to Viral Infection Inhibition

This study introduces and verifies the OMEGA Threshold Model, a biophysical theory proposing a universal energy limit (Ω ≈ 1.5762) that determines whether a virus can successfully infect a host cell. By integrating experimental data, numerical values, and kinetic constraints, the model offers a revolutionary shift in understanding viral infection not just as a molecular process, but as a physical system governed by critical energy thresholds.The author acknowledges the use of OpenAI’s language model for assistance in drafting certain sections of this work.
