Antimatter-Stabilized Zero-Point Energy Extraction (AZPE): A Revised Framework for Vacuum Coupling via ΨSDA

Abstract We present a revised theoretical framework for antimatter-mediated vacuum coupling, correcting earlier overreaching claims. The central quantity ΨSDA is defined as a dimensionless effective coupling parameter quantifying the spectral overlap between a confined oscillatory charged system and vacuum fluctuation modes. Grounded in quantum electrodynamics (QED), the framework respects conservation laws, thermodynamics, and perturbative bounds (ΨSDA ≪ 1). No claims of energy extraction, ANEC violation, or gravitational control are made. All predicted effects are expected to be extremely small. The framework is falsifiable, mathematically consistent, and connects to Casimir physics via mode participation. A pathway for experimental test using Penning trap systems is outlined.
