"Volcanoes Decoded"

This paper reframes volcanic eruptions as electromagnetic pressure discharge events rather than solely geological consequences of tectonic motion. Clyde Jermaine Wilcox introduces the Wilcox Collapse Constant (κ_volcano) and the Volcanic Seismic Coherence Index (VSCI) to quantify magnetic information debt thresholds and coherence breakdowns that trigger eruptions. The study integrates magnetic anomalies, ULF signals, ionospheric disturbances, and cryovolcanic parallels into a coherent model of volcanic instability driven by magnetic information density (MID). This work positions volcanoes as planetary feedback systems that release excess electromagnetic pressure to restore structural balance, unifying them with other events like quakes and tsunamis in the broader Wilcox Collapse Framework. ---
