Abstract: Calculations presented in 10.5281/zenodo.22287434 showed that there is a lack of thermal energy for dissolving W, Z bosons and Higgs field restoration: R_E(v) = 15.8 m (246 GeV) -> requires 4.37 x 10^4 Msun, available 2.8 Msun R_E(T_EW) = 24.4 m -> requires 1.61 x 10^5 Msun R_E(W) = 48.3 m (80.38 GeV) -> requires 1.25 x 10^6 Msun Thermal budget exceeds system mass by 4-6 orders of magnitude (Figure 3 - Energy-budget obstruction). Question: In such an extremely compressed mass, does the matter need to be heated at all, if the compression itself (energy density) could replace temperature as the driving factor for the phase transition? If compression itself can drive the transition, cold, pressure-induced electroweak restoration could be possible without thermal support, within 2.8 Msun = 1 Package = 8.27 km core with R_core 15.80 m.
