## Abstract

Defines the jet modulation factor M_jet(Gamma) = 1 + A_jet * exp[-(Gamma - Gamma_0)^2 /
(2*sigma_Gamma^2)] with A_jet = 1.5, Gamma_0 = omega_SCm = 2*pi*1.25 THz, sigma_Gamma = 0.08 THz.
The phonon-enhanced Blandford-Znajek jet power is P_jet = P_BZ * (1 + M_jet), providing up to 3.5x
amplification at resonance. The Gamma-sweep reveals a narrow enhancement window (FWHM ~0.19 THz)
centered on the SCm phonon frequency, explaining why jet power varies by factors of 2-4 across
different AGN despite similar BH masses and spins.

## 1. Core Equations

### Section A: Lagrangian

$$
\begin{aligned}
  & M_jet(Gamma) = 1 + A_jet * exp[-(Gamma - Gamma_0)^2 / (2 * sigma_Gamma^2)] \\
  & P_jet = P_BZ * (1 + M_jet) \\
  & P_BZ = (pi / (6*mu_0)) * B^2 * r_g^2 * c * a^2 \\
  & r_g = G * M / c^2
\end{aligned}
$$

### Section B: VDS/DVP/BH Number Systems

$$
\begin{aligned}
  & WSTP export: Mjet[Gamma_] := 1 + 1.5 * Exp[-(Gamma-Gamma0)^2/(2*sigmaGamma^2)] \\
  & WSTP export: Pjet[Gamma_] := PBZ * (1 + Mjet[Gamma]) \\
  & WSTP export: Table[{Gamma, Pjet[Gamma]}, {Gamma, 0.5 THz, 2.0 THz, 0.1 THz}]
\end{aligned}
$$

### Section SM: SM Anchors

$$
\begin{aligned}
  & A_jet = 1.5  (jet modulation amplitude) \\
  & sigma_Gamma = 0.08 THz  (linewidth spread) \\
  & Gamma_0 = 1.25 THz  (SCm phonon frequency) \\
  & FWHM = 2*sqrt(2*ln(2)) * sigma_Gamma ~ 0.19 THz
\end{aligned}
$$

## 2. Parameters

|-----------|---------|-------------|
| M_bh | 6.5e9 M_sun | BH mass |
| a_spin | 0.9 | Spin parameter |
| B_field | 50 T | Magnetic field |
| A_jet | 1.5 | Modulation amplitude |

## 3. Key Results

| Gamma (THz) | M_jet | Enhancement |
|-------------|-------|-------------|
| 0.5 | 1.00 | 2.00x |
| 1.0 | 1.38 | 2.38x |
| 1.25 | 2.50 | 3.50x |
| 1.5 | 1.38 | 2.38x |
| 2.0 | 1.00 | 2.00x |

---

## 4. Physical Interpretation

The jet modulation factor explains the diversity of AGN jet powers as a function of the local phonon
environment. AGN with accretion disk phonon frequencies near 1.25 THz experience maximum jet
enhancement (3.5x P_BZ), while those with mismatched frequencies see only the baseline 2x
modulation. This provides a testable prediction: AGN jet power should correlate with accretion disk
temperature through the phonon frequency relation omega ~ k_B * T / hbar.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: Buoyancy-Corrected Eddington Luminosity

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1002 (AGN Buoyancy-Corrected Eddington) and PAPER_1037
> (AGN Buoyancy Jet Launching).  See also PAPER_1009-1010 for F_U_Bi_i jet
> modulation curves and PAPER_1048 for phonon-corrected M-$\sigma$ relation.*

The SCm vacuum buoyancy partially opposes gravitational radiation pressure,
raising the effective Eddington luminosity:

$$L_{\text{Edd}}^{\text{UQFF}} = L_{\text{Edd}} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{\rho_{\text{SCm}} \cdot V \cdot S_{26}^{(3)\,2}}{G M / r_H^2}\right)$$

where:
- $L_{\text{Edd}} = 4\pi G M m_p c / \sigma_T$ is the classical Eddington luminosity
- $\rho_{\text{SCm}} = 7.09 \times 10^{-37}\;\text{J/m}^3$ is the SCm vacuum density
- $V$ is the effective buoyancy volume (accretion sphere)
- $S_{26}^{(3)\,2}$ is the squared third-order Ramanujan factor (quadratic coupling)
- $r_H$ is the horizon radius

**Jet modulation:** The Blandford–Znajek jet power acquires a phonon-coupled term:
$$P_{\text{jet}}^{\text{UQFF}} = P_{\text{BZ}} \cdot \left[1 + \beta_i \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\text{THz}} \cdot \left(\frac{B}{B_{\text{crit}}}\right)^2\right]$$

where $\Phi_{1.25\,\text{THz}} = \cos(\omega_{\text{SCm}} \cdot t)$ modulates jet power at the phonon frequency.

**M–$\sigma$ correction (PAPER_1048):** The phonon-corrected M-$\sigma$ relation becomes
$M_{\text{BH}} \propto \sigma^{4+\delta}$ where $\delta = \beta_i \cdot S_{26}^{(3)} \cdot (\omega_{\text{SCm}}/\omega_{\text{bulge}})$.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: UQFF 9-Sector Lagrangian

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1066 (UQFF Lagrangian First Principles) and
> PAPER_1065 (Buoyancy Lagrangian EOM Variational Derivation).*

The complete UQFF Lagrangian density, from which all sector-specific
equations of motion derive:

$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{UQFF}} = \mathcal{L}_{\text{GR}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{SCm}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{phonon}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{interaction}}$$

$$\mathcal{L}_{\text{SCm}} = \tfrac{1}{2}(\partial_\mu \phi)^2 - \lambda\bigl(\phi^2 - v_{\text{SCm}}^2\bigr)^2$$

The SCm condensate potential minimum gives $V(\phi_0) = -7.09 \times 10^{-37}\;\text{J/m}^3$
(matching $\rho_{\text{SCm}}$) and phonon mass $m_{\text{phonon}} = \sqrt{8\lambda}\,v_{\text{SCm}}$.

**Nine-sector closure (Session 202):**
$$\mathcal{L}_{9} = \mathcal{L}_{\text{EH}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{YM}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{Dirac}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{SCm}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{mag}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{buoy}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{aether}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{LENR}} + \mathcal{L}_{\text{KK}}$$
