Dorion Formation via QCD Color Exchange and Negative Vacuum Energy: A Non-Perturbative Bridge Between the Gluon Condensate and Emergent Gravitation

We present a speculative but mathematically articulated extension of the Dorion Hypothesis in which the continuous emission of tethered Dorions from baryons is identified with non-perturbative processes in quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Building on the established existence of a negative-energy QCD vacuum generated by the gluon condensate and on the linear confining potential of colour flux tubes, we argue that local negativeenergy fluctuations arising during quark colour-exchange events provide the energetic and topological conditions for Dorion nucleation. The emission rate per baryon derived in the original Dorion framework is retained and evaluated numerically for the proton, neutron, Δ resonances and selected hyperons. The resulting rates, when combined with the flux-tube tension and coupling cross-section, recover the observed Newtonian gravitational constant to within the phenomenological uncertainties of the model. The construction remains highly conjectural; its principal value is to furnish a concrete microscopic pathway by which the negative vacuum energy of QCD may source the macroscopic phenomenon of gravitation.
