A Phenomenological Framework for Structured Light in the Claro-Torsion Metric Cosmology: Toward the NovaFusion Experimental Approach

Abstract

This manuscript develops a revised phenomenological formulation of the Claro-Torsion Metric (CTM) cosmology, with a particular emphasis on structured light as a physically meaningful carrier of topology, polarization, phase, and information. The model is reformulated with explicit mathematical corrections and consistency checks, and then evaluated through a sequence of observational and laboratory analogues. The paper reviews empirical results from structured photonics, photon upconversion, light-to-matter conversion, macroscopic quantum superposition, topological optical states, and polarized gamma-ray production. These examples are used to motivate the broader hypothesis that light may function as an experimentally accessible substrate for information-bearing physical structure. The manuscript also introduces NovaFusion as a prospective toroidal HTS experimental platform intended to test whether strongly structured electromagnetic fields can produce anomalous effective inertial responses. The work is explicitly speculative and phenomenological, but it is organized to separate assumptions, analogies, and derived consequences in a form suitable for future analytical and experimental tests.
