MID/QC Foundation Series 2 — The Substrate Origin of Inertia: Substrate Derived Mass & Binding Mechanisms
Abstract
This paper derives a unified substrate-native law for mass and binding, showing how confinement geometry, coherence modulation, and effective tension thresholds govern particle behavior across QCD, nuclear, and electroweak scales. The framework anchors mass acquisition and binding energy in geometric primitives, linking the QCD and Higgs mechanisms through a common substrate logic.
