Wake Drive: Vortex Coherence Engine

This paper specifies a reactionless propulsion architecture based on coherence gradient dynam-ics within a toroidal resonant cavity. The Wake Drive addresses critical failure modes in priortapered-cavity approaches (notably the EM Drive) by implementing: (1) vortex geometry enablingthree-dimensional reference frame separation, (2) pulsed operation following a bilateral 6-9 breathcycle, and (3) self-organizing coherence maintenance through rotational dynamics. The causal mech-anism is explicit: thrust emerges from incompatibility between a coherent source and its decoherentwake, with asymmetric geometry determining thrust direction. The number of axial standing wavenodes (11) derives from the same void structure that generates fundamental physical constants. Thisspecification provides sufficient detail for independent replication.
