"Why Neutrinos Change Flavors"— V1.

This paper proposes a novel framework for neutrino flavor change grounded in Magnetic Information Density (MID) and the Wilcox Constant (κ). Neutrino flavors are treated as structured magnetic states encoded in space, rather than fixed particle labels. Flavor identity is preserved across domains by the Ω Operator until coherence collapses at the κ threshold. Unlike conventional oscillation models, this approach provides a physical, falsifiable mechanism: flavor change occurs when local magnetic coherence falls below κ, triggering rapid, structural reformatting of the neutrino. The framework includes quantitative anchors, such as an estimated κ for neutrino domains (~10⁻⁴³–10⁻⁴² J·m⁻³), and proposes experimental tests using controlled magnetic-field perturbations to detect shifts in flavor ratios. By linking neutrino dynamics to vacuum structure and field redundancy, this work reframes oscillations as magnetic formatting events and situates particle identity within a coherent, testable magnetic-information architecture. It offers a bridge between MID theory, quantum decoherence, and fundamental particle physics.
