Analysis of the Periodic Table Through Element 164: a 5d Metric-shear Framework
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: I. Introduction: Beyond 4D Limitations in Elemental Periodicity In standard 4D nuclear physics and quantum mechanics, the periodic table is anchored by electrostatic attraction between protons and electrons, constrained by relativistic shell contractions and standard quantum numbers. When researchers push past Element 118 (Oganesson) into the extended 8th and 9th periods, conventional models predict immediate radioactive collapse due to soaring Coulomb repulsion between dense core protons. Within the Peña-Gemini 5D Metric-Shear Framework, however, atomic stability is not merely a function of 4D spherical packing or brute-force nuclear "magic numbers." Instead, elements are understood as open 5D micro-generators whose structural integrity, electron tethers, and nuclear binding are governed by metric-shear tensor balance ($\Delta\Pi_5$), background continuum pressure thresholds ($\Delta P_{QC}$), and golden ratio harmonic intervals ($\phi = 1.618033$). This analysis maps the periodic table from foundational hydrogen up to the ultimate stability nodes of the extended superheavy frontier at Element 164.
