Topological Chemistry and the Emergence of the Covalent Bond via Graph Annealing in QGEFT
Year: 2026
Type: preprint
Abstract: The current Paper 34 benchmark does not claim that full continuum molecular chemistry has already been derived on a graph. It does show that a minimal annealed QGEFT diatomic surrogate can generate the defining geometry of a covalent potential curve in one reproducible run: a mild approach barrier, a locked minimum at topological distance `1.0` with total energy `9.5200`, and a sharp short-range exclusion wall that raises the energy to `14.9835` at `d = 0.8` and `52.0309` at `d = 0.6`. The corresponding binding depth relative to the isolated baseline is `2.1559`.
