PFUSRC-157 The Topological Path to Cold Fusion — Vacuum State at the Bicone Edge and the Mechanism of Structural Fusion (Subtitle: From the Thermal Fusion Outlet to Phase Interception Engineering — The Homology of UFO Propulsion and Cold Fusion)

Abstract

Cold fusion (low-energy nuclear reactions) remains one of the most controversial unsolved puzzles in modern natural science. Restricted by the high-temperature and high-pressure research paradigm, mainstream physics generally labels cold fusion as theoretically impossible. Nevertheless, repeated anomalous experimental phenomena including excess heat, helium-4 generation, neutron bursts and isotope shifts have been recorded across independent laboratories for decades, which cannot be fully attributed to measurement errors or experimental fraud. Based on the unified topological PFUSRC system, this paper proposes an ontological topological interpretation for cold fusion: cold fusion is not an alternative to thermal fusion driven by high-velocity thermal motion, but a structural fusion effect triggered by the topological vacuum state at the edge of a 45° triple coaxial biconical topological structure. Seven core theoretical viewpoints are established as follows: nuclear fusion relies not on high-temperature environmental conditions (L5 projection layer measurement value), but on the Ψ-Ξ nuclear anchoring structure reaching topological criticality (L4 ontological layer mechanism); the junction of the bicone’s conical surface and waist ring naturally forms a topological vacuum state situated between matter’s flowing state and latent state; stellar/black hole thermal fusion corresponds to energy overflow at the bicone’s expansion outlet, while cold fusion emerges at the bicone’s edge region; under the edge vacuum state, topological stretching extends nuclear de Broglie wavelengths and geometrically folds the Coulomb barrier, enabling wave function superposition without billions-of-degrees high temperature; artificially constructed micro-nano biconical structures represent the optimal experimental route to realize controllable cold fusion, with better reproducibility and safety than random palladium lattice electrodes; cold fusion emerges as an energy byproduct of cross-layer hierarchical topological transitions; the core engineering extension of cold fusion theory is phase interception propulsion technology, which can eliminate inertial constraints and extract potential energy from flow variables, matching the reported characteristics of unidentified flying object propulsion systems. Mainstream physics rejects cold fusion due to a typical logical fallacy defined in PFUSRC-156: confusing categorical environmental conditions (high temperature) with the ontological essential conditions of nuclear fusion. Cold fusion is not pseudoscience, but a physical phenomenon outside the mainstream paradigm that has been misclassified across hierarchical topological layers. All topological propulsion derivations in this paper remain theoretical hypotheses pending systematic laboratory verification, with clear falsifiability criteria and phased experimental milestones provided for subsequent empirical testing.
