Topological Catalysis of p-¹¹B Aneutronic Fusion in the TET–CVTL Framework: Parameter-Free Enhancement via Primordial Trefoil Phase

This preprint proposes a novel topological catalysis mechanism for proton-boron-11 (p-¹¹B) aneutronic fusion within the Topological-Entropic Theory with Conformal Vacuum Tensor Lattice (TET–CVTL) framework.The reaction p + ¹¹B → 3⁴He + 8.7 MeV is intrinsically clean (99.9% energy in charged particles, near-zero neutrons) and relies on abundant, non-radioactive fuel. However, its high Coulomb barrier (Z=5 for boron) has historically required extreme temperatures.The primordial three-leaf clover (trefoil) knot induces an anyonic braiding phase θ = 6π/5 that generates constructive interference in the tunneling wavefunction. Open QuTiP simulations predict a 20–40× rate enhancement at energies 100–500 keV in ultraclean environments (laser-plasma, graphene/hBN heterostructures, or superfluid helium).Correlated multi-particle effects in saturated lattices further amplify the gain, offering a parameter-free pathway toward practical aneutronic fusion power.Experimental guidelines and material recommendations are provided.
