Warp-Field Architecture Based on Structured Casimir–Polder Interactions in BEC-Layered Cavities

This work presents a conceptual propulsion architecture based on structured Casimir-Polder interactions in phase-coherent Bose-Einstein-condensate cavity arrays combined with dynamically modulated photonic field structures. The proposed framework explores whether distributed vacuum-energy asymmetries and synchronized compensation-field configurations could, in principle, generate effective spacetime-deformation-like transport effects without requiring direct macroscopic metric engineering. Order-of-magnitude engineering estimates suggest that, for a large-scale configuration, the total system power may reach the 10^14–10^15 W range under the present assumptions. These values should be interpreted only as preliminary upper-bound scaling estimates within the adopted phenomenological framework and not as experimentally validated engineering requirements.
