Structural Prediction of a Triple Ring System Around the Hypothetical Planet Y at 132 AU via Real-Virtual Dual-Field Extremum Conditions

Abstract While the Planet Nine hypothesis (500 AU) addresses the clustering of Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects (ETNOs), the Real-Virtual Dual-Field Theory (RVDT) further predicts an intermediate perturber, designated Planet Y, at 132 AU. Unlike classical N-body simulations that rely on empirical fitting, RVDT utilizes fixed universal constants (ξ=0.083 AU⁻¹, β=6.418) to define orbital stability. This letter focuses on a unique corollary of the RVDT framework: the mathematical necessity of a triple-ring system around Planet Y. By solving the extremum condition of the sub-source weight function S_sub(r), we derive three discrete, stable orbital radii at 3.2 AU, 7.6 AU, and 14.3 AU. These distances are not arbitrary but are physically enforced by the conjugate golden decay field. We urge high-cadence photometric monitoring of the Ophiuchus-Serpens-Libra sector to test this prediction through stellar occultations.

Abstract While the Planet Nine hypothesis (500 AU) addresses the clustering of Extreme Trans-Neptunian Objects (ETNOs), the Real-Virtual Dual-Field Theory (RVDT) further predicts an intermediate perturber, designated Planet Y, at 132 AU. Unlike classical N-body simulations that rely on empirical fitting, RVDT utilizes fixed universal constants (ξ=0.083 AU⁻¹, β=6.418) to define orbital stability. This letter focuses on a unique corollary of the RVDT framework: the mathematical necessity of a triple-ring system around Planet Y. By solving the extremum condition of the sub-source weight function S_sub(r), we derive three discrete, stable orbital radii at 3.2 AU, 7.6 AU, and 14.3 AU. These distances are not arbitrary but are physically enforced by the conjugate golden decay field.
