Emergence of Earth's First Lithosphere: A 4.1-Billion-Year Multiphysics Evolution Model Revealing Proto-Plate Genesis and Mantle Segmentation
This study presents a full 4.1-billion-year forward-time planetary evolution model reconstructing the emergence of Earth’s first lithosphere. Using a unified multiphysics framework—integrating relativistic gravitational response, mantle thermochemical gradients, magnetic-flux coupling, vacuum-energy drift, curvature-response feedback, and dynamic topological organization—the simulation replicates the formation of coherent proto-plate boundaries, mantle convection cells, crustal segmentation thresholds, and evolving thermal gradients. The model achieves a stable 55-node structural organization with a global stability metric of 6.667 and zero topology variance, indicating fully self-consistent proto-tectonic emergence. Results show that early lithospheric architecture forms deterministically from interacting global fields rather than stochastic or isolated processes. This work provides a next-generation, unified approach to early terrestrial geodynamics, offering a mechanistic pathway for proto-plate development long before modern tectonic regimes were established. The findings may have implications for the study of early Earth, exoplanet tectonics, and planetary interior evolution. For collaboration or scientific enquiries, please contact:
