Reservoir Sources, Astrophysical Neutrinos, and Ontological Discipline

This article develops a critical–propositional reading of Ambrosone et al. (2021), Reservoir Sources Contribution to the Astrophysical Neutrino Flux – Starburst Galaxies Strike Back, examining the starburst-galaxy “reservoir source” model for the diffuse high-energy neutrino flux within the multimessenger context. The aim is not to compete with contemporary astrophysics nor to replace its models, but to submit the physical–operational framework of the analyzed work to a more universal ontological discipline, as proposed by the Theory of Objectivity (TO). TO does not seek to replace modern models of physics or cosmology. Rather, it necessarily proposes itself as a logical, ontological, and scientific foundation for the construction of any coherent model of a possible universe, given the modal necessity of its seven axioms, as independently evaluated in dialogue with Artificial Intelligences (Cabannas & Silva, 2025). Furthermore, TO is not merely a philosophical model: without employing conventional mathematical language, it presents a complete theorem through a proprietary mathematical language based on logical graphs and the seven axioms, demonstrating the emergence of a universe from a perfect logical sphere that existed eternally and statically prior to the emergence of time, space, and matter (Cabannas & Silva, 2016; 2018). The perfect-sphere structure—comprising 64 straight logical parts on its maximal circumference and 2048 logical parts across its total surface, each capable of individually tangential contact with a plane—is interpreted as a necessary consequence of the Seven Absolute Truths, and is further corroborated by the graphical and logical presentations in Cabannas & Silva (2020). On the phenomenic level, the article adopts as a working hypothesis that neutrinos may be phenomenic manifestations of the plasmas described in TO cosmology. Accordingly, the concept of a “reservoir source” is reinterpreted as an expression of induction zones, articulating the Expansive Inductor Effect (axioms 4 and 5) and the Reductive Inductor Effect (axioms 4, 5, and 6), especially when applied to cosmic-ray confinement, hadronic (pp) production, and observational coherence between neutrino and gamma channels. As a support-and-dialogue framework, the paper integrates classical and contemporary references in physics, cosmology, and philosophy of science (Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohm, Prigogine & Stengers, Penrose, Hawking, Kuhn), as well as relevant experimental programs and indirect evidence (Aspect and Bell tests; Planck and CMB anisotropies; LIGO/Virgo and gravitational waves; JWST observations concerning early structures). In line with Cabannas & Silva (2025; 2026a; 2026b), the article also highlights the proposal of “operational bridges” and testability/predictability models for TO phenomenic elements and cosmological eras, emphasizing new methods and data reinterpretation aimed at identifying signatures of boundary, convergence, and multimessenger redundancy. The result is a methodological articulation in which neutrino astrophysics and multimessenger analysis are treated as a particularly fertile ground for rigorous ontological dialogue: (i) because they depend on relational validation across multiple observational channels; (ii) because they involve low-interaction particles that traverse regions opaque to photons; and (iii) because they investigate dense, magnetized astrophysical environments that can be modeled as convergence and induction zones in TO’s vocabulary.
