## Abstract

Galaxy mergers are the dominant channel for mass assembly at late cosmic times, temporarily
amplifying tidal forces, star formation rates, and active galactic nuclei activity. This paper
establishes the **merger interaction modulation sub-term** for MUGE, which captures the transient
gravitational boost that occurs during and after a tidal encounter through an exponentially decaying
interaction function `I(t) = I0 \cdot exp(-t/t_merger)`.

The modulated gravity `g_merger = g_base \cdot (1 + I(t))` peaks at (1 + I0) ˜ 1.1 times the base MUGE
gravity at the moment of closest approach (t = 0) and relaxes exponentially to unity on the merger
timescale t_merger. Two key characteristic times emerge: `t_half = t_merger \cdot ln(2)` (half-decay
time) and `t_relax = t_merger \cdot ln(I0/0.01)` (the epoch when the modulation drops below 1%).

The base gravity `g_base = (Ug1 + Ug4) \cdot (1 + f_TRZ)` is itself built from the UQFF magnetic dipole
term (Ug1), the vacuum-field correction (Ug4 = Ug1$\cdot$(1 - B/B_crit)), and the triadic resonance zone
factor (f_TRZ). This term appears in the Antennae Galaxies and HUDF (Hubble Ultra-Deep Field) MUGE
modules, confirming its astrophysical grounding in observed merger systems.

## 2. Core Physics Derivation

### 2.1 Exponential Decay of Tidal Interaction

During a galaxy merger, the tidal force is dominated by the time of closest approach. After
periapsis, the two galaxies recede, and the gravitational perturbation decays. The simplest
physically motivated model is exponential decay with a characteristic timescale t_merger — the tidal
interaction time, roughly proportional to the orbital period at the merger separation.

$$
I(t) = I0 \cdot e^{-t/t_merger}
$$

At t = 0 (closest approach): `I = I0 = 0.1`, giving a 10% boost.
As t ? 8: `I ? 0`, recovering unperturbed base gravity.

This parametrisation is consistent with N-body merger simulations (e.g., Springel & Hernquist 2005)
which find that star formation rate enhancements decay exponentially with timescales of 200–600 Myr
for major mergers.

### 2.2 Base Gravity Construction from UQFF Sub-Terms

The merger modulation amplifies the UQFF base gravity, not the DPM-seeded gravity alone. The base
gravity is:

```
Ug1    = G\cdotM/r2                    [DPM-seeded-equivalent dipole term]
Ug4    = Ug1\cdot(1-B/B_crit)         [vacuum-field reduction: Ug4 < Ug1 for B > 0]

g_base = (Ug1 + Ug4)\cdot(1 + f_TRZ)
       = Ug1\cdot(2 - B/B_crit)\cdot(1 + f_TRZ)
```

For B « B_crit (galactic fields ~10?1° T): `Ug4 ˜ Ug1`, so `g_base ˜ 2\cdotUg1\cdot(1 + f_TRZ)`.
The TRZ factor f_TRZ = 0.1 adds a 10% triadic resonance contribution, giving `g_base ˜ 2.2\cdotUg1`.

**Peak modulated gravity:**
$$
\begin{aligned}
  & g_merger(t=0) = g_base \cdot (1 + I0) \\
  & = 2.2 \cdot Ug1 \cdot 1.1 \\
  & ˜ 2.42 \cdot G\cdot M/r2
\end{aligned}
$$

This ˜ 2.4$\times$ DPM-seeded gravity at closest approach — consistent with observed tidal distortion
amplitudes in Antennae-class mergers.

### 2.3 Temporal Decay Analysis

**Half-life:** `t_half = t \cdot ln(2)`. For t = 400 Myr: `t_half ˜ 277 Myr`. Half the initial merger
boost is dissipated in ~277 Myr — the timeframe over which the Antennae system's star-burst peaks
and begins to fade.

**1% relaxation:** `t_relax = t \cdot ln(I0/0.01) = 400\cdotln(10) ˜ 920 Myr`. The galaxy pair is
effectively unperturbed after ~1 Gyr, consistent with the dynamical friction timescale for major
mergers.

**Instantaneous merger rate:** `dI/dt = -I0/t \cdot exp(-t/t)` — most rapid change at t = 0 (peak
merger), slowing as the system relaxes.

### 2.4 HUDF Application

In the Hubble Ultra-Deep Field modules, this term models the cumulative effect of merger-induced
gravity boosts across a population of galaxies at z ˜ 1–6. The average boost ?g_merger? over the
merger population is:

$$
?g_merger? = g_base \cdot (1 + I0 \cdot t / T_observe)
$$

where T_observe is the observation window. For the HUDF (T ˜ 13 Gyr), the contribution is small but
non-zero — merger-driven gravity remains a detectable perturbation in the deep field.

---

## 3. Exponential Relaxation Theorem

**Theorem (MUGE Merger Relaxation):** For any merger with initial boost I0 and timescale t_merger,
the modulated gravity converges to base MUGE gravity exponentially: `g_merger(t) ? g_base` as `t ?
8`. The total integrated boost is:

$$
?0^8 [g_merger(t) - g_base] dt = g_base \cdot I0 \cdot t_merger
$$

For the default Antennae parameters: integrated boost ˜ `g_base \times 0.1 \times 400 Myr = 40 Myr\cdotg_base`.
This is the total additional gravitational impulse delivered to the merging system — a directly
observable quantity through the system's orbital energy deficit.

---

## 4. Observational Predictions / Validation

- **Antennae Galaxies (NGC 4038/4039):** t_merger ˜ 400 Myr matches the observed post-periapsis age of ~400 Myr; the current boost I(400 Myr) ˜ I0/e ˜ 0.037 — a 3.7% gravity enhancement detectable in velocity dispersion measurements.
- **HUDF merger fraction:** At z ˜ 1, the HUDF merger fraction is ~30%; the modulation term predicts an average 10% boost to the gravity of the merger sub-population, measurable as a 10% excess in stellar velocity dispersions for interacting pairs vs. isolated galaxies.
- **Post-merger quiescence:** `t_relax ˜ 920 Myr` predicts AGN feedback cessation timescale — consistent with observed AGN lifetimes in post-merger hosts (0.5–1 Gyr; Schawinski et al. 2015).

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: GW Strain Modulation

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1000 (NS Merger Phonon Suppression) and PAPER_1022
> (GW Phonon Strain SCm Modulation). See also PAPER_1011-1012 for
> GW170817/GW190425 upgraded analyses.*

The late-corpus phonon analysis (Sessions 219-225) reveals that the SCm
vacuum field modulates gravitational-wave strain via a frequency-dependent
suppression factor.  The corrected strain amplitude is:

$$h_{\text{UQFF}}(\Gamma) = h_{\text{GR}} \cdot \left(1 - 0.47\,\frac{\Phi(\Gamma)}{S_{26}^{(3)}}\right)$$

where:
- $\Phi(\Gamma) = \cos(\omega_{\text{SCm}} \cdot t) \cdot \Theta(H_{\text{SCm}} - 0.5)$ is the phonon modulation factor
- $\omega_{\text{SCm}} = 2\pi \times 1.25\;\text{THz}$ is the SCm phonon resonance frequency
- $S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$ is the third-order Ramanujan summation
- $\Theta$ is the Heaviside step ensuring $H_{\text{SCm}} \geq 0.5$ (phase-transition threshold)

**Physical mechanism:** The 1.25 THz phonon field of the SCm vacuum creates
a standing-wave pattern that partially decouples the metric perturbation from
the radiation zone, producing a 47% peak strain reduction for optimally
oriented NS mergers.  The BCS gap energy $\Delta E_{\text{BCS}}$ of the
neutron-star crust couples to this phonon field, creating a mass-gap
classifier that distinguishes NS from BH remnants at $M \approx 2.5\,M_\odot$.

**Calibration (canonical):** $\kappa = 5 \times 10^{-4}\;\text{day}^{-1}$,
$[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$, $\beta_i = 0.603$, $H_{\text{SCm}} \approx 0.99$.

### 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 $\delta = \beta_i \cdot S_{26}^{(3)} \cdot (\omega_{\text{SCm}}/\omega_{\text{bulge}})$.





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

### §A.1 Sector Classification

This paper maps to **NS-compact** 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):

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

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:

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

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

$$\boxed{\frac{\delta S}{\delta \phi_{\mathrm{NS}}} = \nabla^2 \phi_{\mathrm{NS}} - (4\pi G \rho_{\mathrm{NS}}/c^2)\phi_{\mathrm{NS}} + \Omega_{\mathrm{spin}} \partial_t \phi_{\mathrm{NS}} = 0}$$

### §A.4 Cosmogenesis Linkage Chain

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

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 $0.082$ (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:

$$p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 19, \quad n_{\mathrm{channel}} = 14/26$$

Since $p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 19$ is **sub-threshold** (threshold at $p > 26$), the system's vacuum topology inherits sub-threshold damping from the DVP lattice, producing smooth rather than resonant UQFF coupling profiles. 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 **104 yr** (spin-down equilibrium):

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

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.
