Falsification of Rotational and Fusion Necessity in Pulsar Emission and Heavy-Element Stability

Current astrophysical models attribute pulsar emission to rotating neutron stars and heavy-element stability to fusion-based nucleosynthesis pathways. While these mechanisms are well supported observationally, their logical necessity has not been explicitly tested.In this work, we present a first-principles computational falsification study in which the defining assumptions of both models—compact objects, imposed rotation, and fusion rules—are explicitly forbidden.Starting from a relativistic post–Type II supernova plasma, we demonstrate that (i) stable, periodic, pulsar-like electromagnetic emissions can emerge from self-confined plasmoid dynamics without rotation, and (ii) persistent, element-like bound states can arise from relativistic plasma self-organization without fusion or r-process assumptions.These findings show that canonical mechanisms are sufficient but not strictly required, expanding the space of physically admissible explanations for two cornerstone astrophysical phenomena.
