What Do Nuclear Fission, Galaxy Collision, and Planetary Precession Have in Common?

Abstract: Nuclear fission, the collision of galaxies, and the precession of Mercury appear to belong toalmost completely unrelated areas of science.One concerns the reorganization of an atomic nucleus.One concerns structures containing hundreds of billions of stars.One concerns the repeatedly changing orbit of a planet around the Sun.Their characteristic dimensions differ by an extraordinary number of orders of magnitude.Their energies, geometries, materials, timescales, and conventional mathematicaldescriptions are correspondingly different.SP3 theory nevertheless begins with a proposition that changes how this comparisonshould be approached:ALL NATURAL SCIENTIFIC PHENOMENOLOGY OCCURS WITHIN PACMESH.Accordingly, nuclear binding, neutron capture, fission, gravity, galactic motion, collisiondynamics, orbital motion, and planetary precession are not phenomena occurringindependently of PACmesh to which a PACmesh correction must subsequently be added.They are observations of matter and energy behaving within PACmesh.This paper asks whether the three apparently unrelated systems expose a commonconstitutive sequence:NEST → CONDITION → STRESS/DISEQUILIBRIUM → REORGANIZE → RETAIN HISTORY →RELAX → ESTABLISH A NEW CONFIGURATIONThe expression of that sequence differs profoundly among the three systems, yet it is thecommon thread.In nuclear fission, PACmesh-nested nuclear organization is altered sufficiently such thatthe previous stable organization cannot be retained; the system reorganizes into daughternuclei, released neutrons, kinetic motion, radiation, and other energy products.In a galactic collision, two enormous matter/energy nested PACmesh organizations,carrying different spatial and dynamical histories, encounter one another. Their previousnesting relationships cannot simply continue unchanged. Matter is redirected, tails andbridges form, gas reorganizes, and subsequent structure records the encounter.In Mercury's orbit, the response is subtler. The planet remains intact and the orbit remainsbound. However, repeated passage through the strongly varying Sun–Mercury PACmeshrelationship near perihelion conditions the local dual-body gravitating system. If PACmeshretains that history of conditioning for a finite relaxation time, the next portion of the orbitoccurs while the preceding condition is still relaxing. Repetition can therefore yield a smallcumulative displacement of orbital orientation: what we know as precession.The central proposal is therefore not that a uranium nucleus, colliding galaxies, andMercury are physically identical.It is more fundamental:THE SAME PACMESH CAN SUPPORT STABLE NESTING, BE CONDITIONED BYCHANGING MATTER RELATIONSHIPS, RETAIN HISTORY, REORGANIZE UNDERDISEQUILIBRIUM, AND RELAX TOWARD A NEW CONFIGURATION AT EVERY SCALE.This observation of nature’s cross-scale organization, withheld previously from ourunderstanding, is revealed as a PACmesh rule.Fission, galactic collision, and precession may represent three different response regimesof that one constitutive dynamic architecture of the medium occupying inner and outerspace:DISRUPTIVE REORGANIZATION — FORCED LARGE-SCALE REORGANIZATION —NONDESTRUCTIVE MEMORY-RELAXATION.If that interpretation can be converted into transferable quantitative rules, these apparentlyunrelated observations become an unusually stringent test of SP3 cross-scale unification.
