PFUSRC-111B: The Glueball Topological Residue Theory——Flash State, Structural Self-Repair, and a Unified Explanation of the Residues of the Four Fundamental Forces

Abstract

The glueball, a long-unconfirmed theoretical object in the strong interaction sector, is viewed by mainstream physics as the “final piece of the puzzle” in the Standard Model’s particle spectrum. However, despite decades of experimental searches, glueball signals consistently exhibit low production rates, short lifetimes, and irreproducible features, failing to support the expectation of their existence as stable entities. Based on the closed-loop topological model of the strong interaction established in PFUSRC-109 and the interlayer tunneling residue mechanism of PFUSRC-110, this paper proposes that the glueball is not a stable particle but a “flash state” generated during the operation of the strong interaction’s closed-loop topology——a transient event in which topological flow variables (TFVs) briefly condense under specific conditions, rapidly decay, and are partially recycled. This paper further argues that the glueball is not an isolated phenomenon but a representative example of the topological residues generated by each of the four fundamental forces. All residues are governed by a unified “generation-recycling-tolerance-residue” mechanism. They cannot be completely eliminated, but they do not interfere with the steady-state operation of the structure. This mechanism explains the essential reason why glueballs are difficult to observe, while simultaneously providing a unified explanatory framework for the residue phenomena of the weak, electromagnetic, and gravitational forces. This paper is positioned as a supplementary monograph to the PFUSRC-111 subsystem; it does not replace or repeat the qualitative framework of 111, but merely fills the gap concerning the “residue recycling mechanism.”
