Recursive Energy Feedback in Stellar Cores: A Thermodynamic Model of Oscillatory Fusion in Main-Sequence Stars
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This work presents a novel thermodynamic framework for modeling recursive energy feedback mechanisms in the cores of main-sequence stars. Unlike conventional models of nuclear fusion that treat energy generation as a unidirectional output governed by core temperature and pressure, this study proposes a dynamic, oscillatory feedback loop. Drawing from non-linear thermodynamic principles, the model suggests that internal energy equilibrium in stellar cores may be regulated through recursive coupling between radiative transport, opacity modulation, and fusion reaction rates. This theoretical approach provides insight into sustained energy balance, internal stellar pulsations, and potentially self-regulating mechanisms that govern stellar lifetimes. The paper contributes to the broader understanding of thermonuclear behavior in astrophysical plasmas and lays groundwork for future simulations of recursive stellar core dynamics.
