GEOMETRODYNAMIC MANIFOLD SCANNING SYSTEM AND METHOD

Description of Related Art The state of the art in space technology, while advanced, is fundamentally constrained by a shared, implicit assumption: that spacetime is a passive, static, and immutable background against which all operations occur. This assumption has led to the development of highly specialized, yet siloed, technologies for navigation, propulsion, communication, and sensing, each of which suffers from limitations stemming from their indirect interaction with the environment. All prior art systems are designed to measure or affect phenomena propagating through spacetime, rather than measuring or affecting the dynamic structure of spacetime itself. This foundational limitation is the primary technical problem that the present invention solves. Limitations of Satellite Navigation Systems (GNSS): Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GLONASS, are the cornerstone of modern navigation. These systems operate on the principle of trilateration, wherein a receiver determines its position by precisely measuring the time-of-flight of signals received from a constellation of satellites.2 The accuracy of this method is inherently vulnerable to a variety of error sources that perturb the signal as it travels from the satellite to the receiver.
