"The Biophysics of Birth Defects- A Magneto-Electric Decoherence Model"

This paper presents a physics-first model for idiopathic human birth defects, proposing that they arise from magneto-electric decoherence during embryogenesis. Introducing the Wilcox Event Chain (Γ → κ → E → ΔΓ/Δt → q → m/e), the framework quantifies how local magnetic and electric interactions propagate instability, leading to morphological outcomes. The model defines a formal collapse criterion (MID_local > κ_embryo) and provides testable predictions using high-resolution magnetometry, electric field manipulation, and teratogen studies. By linking developmental defects to biophysical coherence, this work offers a falsifiable and predictive approach for understanding and potentially mitigating birth defects. ---
