Abstract

Domain‑Coupled Gradient Propulsion (DCGP) introduces a propulsion framework that replaces negative‑energy warp‑drive concepts with a stability‑preserving, architecture‑consistent mechanism. Instead of attempting to isolate exotic energy or distort spacetime curvature, DCGP operates entirely within the 1‑5‑5‑5‑5 Stability Architecture, using controlled asymmetries in multi‑domain gradients to generate net motion.The paper develops the mathematical structure of DCGP, showing how propulsion emerges from:• preserved domain coupling• intact shell boundaries• invariant reference stability• structured control inputs• gradient perturbations that bias system evolutionDCGP manipulates gradients across five interacting domains—spatial, temporal‑phase, electromagnetic, mass‑distribution, and curvature‑response—without violating energy conditions or introducing unstable curvature bubbles. The result is the first propulsion model that is fully compatible with the generative architecture, offering a physically coherent alternative to warp‑drive theories that rely on negative energy densities.This work establishes DCGP as a stability‑first approach to spacetime motion, grounded in the natural behavior of multi‑domain systems under controlled gradient stress.
