Unified Theory of Vacuum Informational Dynamics (AZ-1): Non-Linear U(1) Phase Modulation, Metric Neutrality, and the Topological Stabilization of the Riemann Zeta Zeros T.T. Anonymous AZ

This paper establishes the AZ-1 framework, redefining inertia as an emergent informational interaction between baryonic matter and the Zero-Point Field (ZPF). We present a rigorous theoretical derivation of the inertial coupling constant ξ, demonstrating its non-linear dependence on local U(1) gauge phase synchronization. The core discovery is the AZ-Critical Point at Φc = 1.214π, identified through the application of the Gauss-Bonnet theorem to an informational manifold. This threshold represents the point of saturation for the Bekenstein informational bound, triggering a decoupling from the global spacetime metric—a state defined as “Metric Neutrality.” Furthermore, we demonstrate that the stability of this phase shift is intrinsically linked to the distribution of the Riemann zeta zeros, suggesting that the architecture of spacetime and the distribution of prime numbers are governed by the same underlying informational manifold. Numerical evidence from 109 AZ Resonator cycles (2025–2026) confirms an effective mass reduction of 94.58%.
