From Lab to Cosmos: Explaining Evaporation, Freezing, and Gas Compression Through Wave-Arc Dynamics

This paper expands the Virgin Wave Theory (Ψ0) from cosmic scales down to laboratory-observable thermodynamics and material phases. We propose a unified framework where physical states of matter (solids, liquids, gases) and their transitions (evaporation, freezing, distillation, and gas compression) are governed entirely by the geometric property of Wave-Arc Rigidity (R) and informational activation frequencies. Key findings: 1. Matter states are defined by R: R_solid >> R_liquid >> R_gas 2. Phase transitions are explained as changes in R via energy injection or removal 3. Boiling point is redefined as the activation energy required to reduce R below the liquid threshold 4. Chemical separation via distillation is a sorting of unique native wave-arc rigidities R_0 5. The same law unifies lab phenomena with cosmic "Scarcity Acceleration" and "Backward Readout" This provides a testable bridge between quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, and cosmology under a single informational-holographic principle.
