Unified Energy Evolution and Geometric Foundations

The Unified Energy Evolution and Geometric Foundations framework establishes a coherent geometric interpretation of photon evolution, collapse mechanics, and spacetime expansion by treating electromagnetic propagation as a stretch‑driven affine process. It formalises how local geometric potentials, field tensions, and collapse residues interact to produce large‑scale cosmological behaviour, including volumetric expansion driven by accumulated geometric residue. This description corresponds to the first published paper in the series, available at: https://zenodo.org/records/21317035.
