## Abstract

The Tapestry of Blazing Starbirth (NGC 2014 and NGC 2020) in the Large Magellanic Cloud is modelled using a 9-term MUGE incorporating two novel mathematical methods: (1) time-varying stellar mass $M(t) = M_{init}(1 + M_dot_factor \cdot e^{-t/\tau_{SF}})$ where the amplitude $M_dot_factor = M_{gas}/M_{init} \approx 41.7$ encodes the gas-to-stellar mass ratio, and (2) stellar wind ram-pressure acceleration $a_{wind} = \rho_{wind} v^2_{wind} / \rho_{fluid}$. At canonical parameters $a_{wind} \approx 4 \times 10^3$ m/s2 dominates most other MUGE terms during active O/B-star formation.

## 1. Physical System

NGC 2014 and NGC 2020 are two giant H II regions in the Large Magellanic Cloud, separated by ~300
ly, forming the "Tapestry of Blazing Starbirth" (HST WFC3 image, 2020). Key parameters:

| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| Distance | ~160,000 ly (LMC) |
| $M_{init}$ | $240 M_\odot$ (stellar; young massive stars) |
| $M_{gas}$ | $10{,}000 M_\odot$ (surrounding gas) |
| $M_dot_factor$ | $M_{gas}/M_{init} = 41.7$ |
| $r$ | $10$ ly |
| $B$ | $1\ \mu$T |
| $z$ | LMC $\approx -0.0005$ (Milky Way satellite) |
| $\tau_{SF}$ | $5$ Myr |

---

## 2. Novel Equations

### 2.1 Gas-Ratio-Amplitude Mass Growth

$$M(t) = M_{init}\left(1 + \frac{M_{gas}}{M_{init}} e^{-t/\tau_{SF}}\right)$$

The amplitude $M_{gas}/M_{init}$ is the gas-to-stellar mass ratio, here $\approx 41.7$. This captures the rapid initial mass increase as gas accretes onto young stellar objects. By $t = 5\tau_{SF}$, $M$ returns to $M_{init}$.

### 2.2 Stellar Wind Ram Pressure Acceleration

$$a_{wind} = \frac{\rho_{wind} \cdot v^2_{wind}}{\rho_{fluid}}$$

| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| $\rho_{wind}$ | $10^{-21}$ kg/m3 (O/B-star wind) |
| $v_{wind}$ | $2000$ km/s = $2 \times 10^6$ m/s |
| $\rho_{fluid}$ | $10^{-21}$ kg/m3 (ambient medium) |

At these parameters: $a_{wind} = (10^{-21} \times 4 \times 10^{12}) / 10^{-21} = 4 \times 10^{12}$ m/s2.

---

## 3. Context Within MUGE Stellar Wind Family

| System | $\rho_{wind}$ (kg/m3) | $v_{wind}$ (km/s) | $\rho_{fluid}$ (kg/m3) |
|--------|----------------------|-------------------|----------------------|
| Tapestry LMC | $10^{-21}$ | 2000 | $10^{-21}$ |
| Westerlund 2 | $10^{-20}$ | 2000 | $10^{-21}$ |
| NGC 1792 (SN) | $10^{-21}$ | 2000 | $10^{-21}$ |

Westerlund 2 has $\rho_{wind}$ 10$\times$ higher, distinguishing it as the denser OB-supergiant environment.

---

## 4. Simulation Parameters

| Parameter | Value |
|-----------|-------|
| $t_{canonical}$ | $1$ Myr |
| dt | $0.01$ Myr |
| $\tau_{SF}$ | $5$ Myr |
| $E_0$ erosion | No erosion term (use PAPER_229 for Pillars) |

## 6. Conclusion

The Tapestry of Blazing Starbirth introduces two novel MUGE methods: gas-ratio-amplitude mass evolution and stellar wind ram-pressure acceleration. The $a_{wind}$ term, at $\rho_{wind} = \rho_{fluid}$, evaluates to $v^2_{wind}$ — numerically dominant during the O/B-star-active phase. This establishes a parametric wind family within the LMC/Milky Way comparison (see PAPER_228 for the 10$\times$ denser Westerlund 2 case).

## Session 225: Late-Corpus Physics Integration (PAPER_1000-1081)

> *The following physics upgrades incorporate equations, mechanisms, and
> derivations from the late-corpus papers (Sessions 219-225, PAPER_1000-1081).
> These represent body-level integrations of phonon physics, buoyancy
> formulations, and S26(3) Ramanujan corrections into this paper's domain.*

<!-- PKG-S26-S225 -->

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: S26(3) Ramanujan Summation

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1080 (Ramanujan Binomial Expansion Proof) and
> PAPER_1042 (Mock-Theta Phonon Partition).  See also PAPER_1078
> (QCalcGeom Master Equation) for BSFG crossover applications.*

The third-order Ramanujan summation $S_{26}^{(3)}$, used throughout the
late corpus as the universal 26D coupling factor:

$$S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$$

where $(a)_n = a(a+1)\cdot s(a+n-1)$ is the Pochhammer symbol.

**Binomial expansion (PAPER_1080):** The convergence proof shows:
$$R_n^{(26,3)} = \binom{4n}{n} \cdot \frac{W_{26}(n)}{(4^{4n})} \qquad \text{with}\quad W_{26}(n) = \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$$

This sum converges absolutely for $|[\text{SSq}]| < 1$ (satisfied by $[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$)
and reduces to the classical Ramanujan $1/\pi$ series when $[\text{SSq}] \to 0$.

**VDS/DVP/BSH bridge (PAPER_1069):** The 26 layers of $W_{26}(n)$ encode the
vacuum density series hierarchy, with each layer $i$ contributing a VDS
sub-ratio weighted by the exponential decay $e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}$.

**Mock-theta connection (PAPER_1042):** The phonon partition function
$Z_{\text{phonon}} = \sum_n q^{n^2} \cdot W_{26}(n)$ unifies the Ramanujan
mock-theta framework with the SCm phonon spectrum.

## §A. Cosmogenesis-Linked Lagrangian (PAPER_877 Symbolic Export)

### §A.1 Sector Classification

This paper maps to **galaxy-rotation** sector of the 9-sector UQFF Lagrangian (see
`uqff_lagrangian_derivation.py`).

### §A.2 Lagrangian Density

The sector Lagrangian density, linked to the PAPER_877 cosmogenesis master via the three reactive
quantum fundamentals (DPM, UA, SCm):

$$\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{sector}} = \frac{1}{2}(\partial_mu \phi_{\mathrm{rot}})(\partial^\mu \phi_{\mathrm{rot}}) - V(\phi_{\mathrm{rot}}) + \mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{cosmo}}$$

where $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{cosmo}} = \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot f_{\mathrm{SCm}} \cdot (1 - e^{-\gamma t})$ inherits the ACP 6-stage evolution (PAPER_877 §2) and:

$$V(\phi_{\mathrm{rot}}) = \frac{1}{2} m^2 \phi_{\mathrm{rot}}^2 + \frac{\lambda}{4!} \phi_{\mathrm{rot}}^4 + \kappa \cdot \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \phi_{\mathrm{rot}}$$

### §A.3 Euler-Lagrange Equation of Motion

$$\boxed{\frac{\delta S}{\delta \phi_{\mathrm{rot}}} = v_c^2/r - \mu_s\nabla(M_s/r) - F_U_Bi_i/(m \cdot r) + \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \Omega^2 r = 0}$$

### §A.4 Cosmogenesis Linkage Chain

$$\text{PAPER\_877 Axioms} \xrightarrow{\text{DPM + ACP}} \rho_{\mathrm{vac}} = \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} + \rho_{\mathrm{SCm}} \xrightarrow{\text{Stage 5}} U_{b,\mathrm{seed}} \xrightarrow{\text{4 forces}} F_U_Bi_i \xrightarrow{\text{sector E-L}} \delta S/\delta \phi_{\mathrm{rot}} = 0$$

The chain traces from the three fundamental axioms (DPM proportion pair, ACP evolution, four U_g
forces) through vacuum density initialization to the sector-specific equation of motion. Every term
in the E-L equation inherits its physical origin from the cosmogenesis master.

## §B. VDS/DVP/BSH Deep Synthesis

### §B.1 Vacuum Density Series (VDS)

The canonical VDS ratio $\rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} / \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} = 1.894$ governs the double-exponential vacuum condensate profile:

$$\rho_{\mathrm{vac}}(r) = \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\exp\!\left(-\frac{r - r_0}{\lambda_{\mathrm{VDS}}}\right)\right)$$

For this system, the local VDS sub-ratio is $0.140$ (near-threshold regime), placing it in the $t \to \pi$ collapse zone where the double-exponential transitions sharply from condensed to dilute vacuum. This threshold behavior connects to the PAPER_877 cosmogenesis Stage 1 vacuum density initialization: $\rho_{\mathrm{vac}} = \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} + \rho_{\mathrm{SCm}} = 7.799 \times 10^{-36}$ kg/m3.

### §B.2 Dipole Vortex Primes (DVP)

The DVP encoding maps the system's characteristic parameter onto the prime lattice:

$$p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 61, \quad n_{\mathrm{channel}} = 20/26$$

Since $p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 61$ is **resonant** (threshold at $p > 26$), the system's vacuum topology inherits resonant enhancement from the DVP lattice, amplifying UQFF coupling at specific radii where compressed matter achieves prime-indexed configurations. The DVP framework traces to PAPER_877 proto-nuclear shell formation: the DPM proportion pair $(f_{\mathrm{UA}}' + f_{\mathrm{SCm}} = 1)$ constrains which primes are accessible at each atomic number.

### §B.3 Buoyancy Saturation Harmonics (BSH)

The BSH saturation timescale for this sector is **109 yr** (disk settling timescale):

$$\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH}} = \sum_{j=1}^{26} \frac{1}{j} \cdot f_U_b \cdot \left(1 - e^{-[SSq] \cdot m/M_\odot}\right) \cdot \cos\!\left(\frac{2\pi j}{26}\right)$$

The $\tanh$ saturation envelope prevents unphysical divergence:

$$\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH,sat}} = \mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH}} \cdot \left(1 - \tanh\!\left(\frac{t - t_{\mathrm{sat}}}{\tau_{\mathrm{BSH}}}\right)\right)$$

connecting to the PAPER_877 Stage 5 buoyancy seed $U_{b,\mathrm{seed}} = 0.1 \cdot (\hbar c/r^2) \cdot f_{\mathrm{SCm}}$ which initializes the harmonic series at cosmogenesis.

### §B.4 Production-Scale Consistency

**New physics claim:** UQFF introduces buoyancy-based gravitational corrections (F_U_Bi_i) that
produce measurable deviations from GR at scales where vacuum condensate density $\rho$_SCm becomes
significant, offering a falsifiable prediction beyond the Standard Model.
