Covariant Q-Interaction Dynamics in Early-Universe Collective Regimes: An OFT–VGM Framework and Conditions for Gravitational Concentration

Abstract

This paper presents Version 1.0 of a covariant Q-interaction framework for investigating collective field dynamics and the conditions that may precede gravitational concentration in the early Universe. Building on the original Q-Interaction manuscript developed on 9 January 2026 (Version 0), the study reformulates the electromagnetic field through an amplitude–configuration decomposition, preserving the Maxwell–Bianchi constraints and energy–momentum balance. It distinguishes established covariant identities from proposed OFT–VGM constitutive dynamics and provides a controlled magnetic-field calculation in an expanding cosmological background. The work outlines the mathematical requirements for connecting collective organization, energy-density evolution, gravitational instability, and eventual black-hole seed formation. Particular attention is given to covariance, conservation laws, physical stability, and observational falsifiability. Early black-hole collapse is not claimed as a demonstrated result; instead, the manuscript establishes a bounded theoretical and computational foundation for subsequent EFT-based investigations of primordial and early astrophysical black-hole formation.
