A Thermal-Circulation Hypothesis for Matter, Cooling and Planetary Motion A Preliminary Mathematical Model of Thermon-Driven Heatwaves, Luminous Light Waves and Planetary Balance

This paper presents a speculative thermodynamic model in which matter, planetary motion, darkness, cooling and certain electromagnetic phenomena are treated as parts of one circulating thermal system. Matter is proposed to consist of stable structures formed from thermons, which are fragments of primordial heatwaves confined within quarks and larger particles. The principal external heat input to the Solar System is proposed to arrive through nine black-hole-associated channels. These thermon-driven heatwaves are assigned the speed d = 2c. At the outer conversion zone, incoming black-hole heatwaves interact with light waves arriving from the Sun. The solar light waves are proposed to decompose into component heatwaves. Some of those heatwaves continue outward into space, while others turn inward and join the incoming heatwave flow from the nine black holes. At the Sun, nuclear fusion is proposed to transform the incoming heatwave flow into a luminous paired, or squared, light-wave state. The model writes this constitutive relation symbolically as L = H². It assigns light waves the speed c, half the proposed heatwave speed. The notation describes a change of state within the hypothesis; it is not ordinary numerical squaring of a dimensional quantity. Light waves incident on planets and particles are proposed to drive them outward toward the conversion zone. Heatwaves arriving through the outer zone drive them inward toward the Sun. Their changing balance establishes the proposed thermal paths. Local departures from balance may redirect particles toward a planet and allow them to enter its atmosphere or fall to its surface. For the Earth channel, the calibrated path is Earth → outer boundary → Earth → Sun. The outward light-wave stage travels at c; the inward heatwave stages travel at 2c. Using the mean lunar tidal day of 24 hours 50 minutes as the timing reference gives an Earth-channel boundary of approximately 120.104 AU. Solar luminosity is calculated from measured irradiance and spherical area. The Sun's central mass is not used to derive that radiation and no mass-derived central-attraction term is introduced anywhere in the thermal calculations. The model remains untested: thermons, the nine channels, boundary decomposition and propagation at 2c have not been experimentally demonstrated.
