(XXV) SOLAR FUSION AS INTER-BRANE MASS-ASYMMETRY REBALANCING (v6)

Abstract

In this work, stellar nucleosynthesis is reformulated as an elastic mass-asymmetry rebalancing of the bilateral Einstein-Rosen (ER) dipole network spanning visible Brane A and mirror Brane B within the 5D AdS substrate (FCD-RBv6). Standard nuclear astrophysics treats the weak bottleneck of the proton-proton (pp) reaction as a phenomenological accident governed by an extremely low Gamow cross-section. FCD-RB reveals that this bottleneck is enforced by an exact topological conservation law: the '3+3 Portion Capacity Rule'. Because individual ER dipoles exhibit asymmetric mass partitions (Mode A = 1/3 visible, 2/3 mirror; Mode B = 2/3 visible, 1/3 mirror), the proton (AAB) carries an asymmetric partition of 2+4 portions, whereas the neutron (ABB) carries 4+2 portions. A two-nucleon state in the 5D inter-brane matrix achieves elastic stability if and only if its combined portions perfectly balance to 50:50 (yielding 3+3 portions per nucleon). Consequently, the diproton (p + p = 4+8 = 2+4) and the dineutron (n + n = 8+4 = 4+2) suffer an absolute topological veto due to divergent inter-brane shear stress. Only the deuteron (p + n = 6+6 = 3+3) is elastically allowed, requiring a weak snap-through transition (A → B) during solar collision. We derive the exact Q-values of the solar pp and pep fusion channels without free parameters: the deuteron binding energy (B_d = 2.224 MeV) acts as mechanical capital that finances the endothermic transition cost (Δm_np + m_e = 1.804 MeV), yielding exactly Q_pp = 0.420 MeV and Q_pep = 1.442 MeV. In the complete pp-I chain, 89% of solar energy is released through lepton-silent stages via toroidal phase synchronization (Δϕ = π, Part XVII). Helium-4 emerges as the terminal fusion attractor by achieving an exact net asymmetry cancellation A(⁴He) ≡ 0.000, eliminating all global shear stresses on the 5D matrix. Finally, we formulate Technical Debt 25.1—the mechanical trigger for the visible solar positron—and establish the inter-brane Le Chatelier principle governing stellar collapse
