Universal Interconnected Nodes Propulsion Engine: Theory, Constraints, and Operational Limits

Traditional propulsion technologies are constrained by energy limitations and relativistic speed. The Universal Interconnected Nodes (UIN) framework introduces a new mechanism for motion based on reconfiguring relational couplings between a system and surrounding spacetime nodes while maintaining internal balance. This paper formalizes the UIN Balance–Translation Theorem (UBTT), presents operational regimes, compares the framework to existing propulsion concepts such as rockets and warp drives, and establishes practical and theoretical speed limits. References to related physics literature are included to contextualize the framework.
