Abstract

Recent photometric and spectroscopic observations by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have revealed a startling population of massive, luminous galaxies () and supermassive black holes () at redshifts , when the universe was only 300 to 450 million years old. These observations pose a profound challenge to the standard CDM paradigm, wherein hierarchical structure growth is constrained by the Eddington accretion limit and the slow, radiative cooling of pristine primordial gas. In this paper, we demonstrate that the rapid emergence of high-redshift massive structures is a natural and inevitable consequence of the Local Interaction Field Equilibrium (LIFE) framework. Within LIFE continuum mechanics (), the gravito-inertial mass-energy coupling of Term B-6 () induces an intrinsic compaction scaling law: . In the radiation-dominated early universe, where primordial electromagnetic energy densities scaled as , Term B-6 drives ultra-fast, non-linear gravito-inertial self-compression. Instead of requiring millions of years of atomic hydrogen cooling and multiple Salpeter accretion cycles, dense primordial radiation fields collapse directly into stable, macroscopic Wheeler GEON cores of within . These compact, non-singular GEON cores act as immediate, fully formed gravitational seeds that trigger prompt starbursts in surrounding baryonic envelopes, resolving the JWST "impossible early galaxy" paradox without revising primordial power spectra.
