A New Interpretation of Mass Defect: Incomplete Compression Information Particles ($m_{ici}$) and Their Role in Atomic Stability

This work presents a conceptual and theoretical reinterpretation of the mass defect ($\Delta m$) in atomic and nuclear systems. Rather than treating mass defect solely as energy released and lost from the system, this paper proposes that the mass defect is internally conserved as a structural component, introduced here as Incomplete Compression Information particles ($m_{ici}$). Within this framework, $m_{ici}$ represents information that cannot be fully compressed during nuclear and atomic formation processes. These particles are proposed to complement spatial distortion associated with protons, contributing to nuclear stability through a balance between internal information outflow pressure and external cosmological dark energy pressure. The paper further explores: A redefinition of nuclear mass composition incorporating $m_{ici}$ The relationship between nuclear compression ratio and dark energy pressure Discrete stabilization mechanisms via prime-index skipping A reinterpretation of photons as information particles released through structural reconfiguration A proposed numerical relationship between electron mass and information-based mass components This work is presented as a theoretical proposal, not as an experimentally verified model. Its purpose is to offer a consistent conceptual framework that preserves conservation laws of mass, energy, and information, while opening new directions for mathematical analysis, numerical simulation, and experimental investigation. The author is an independent researcher and does not claim experimental verification. Readers are encouraged to treat this work as a foundational hypothesis intended to stimulate further interdisciplinary discussion across physics, information theory, and mathematics.
