Jet Energy as a Radiation Tax: Space‑Phase Storage and Release Near Black Holes
Abstract
Astrophysical black holes frequently produce narrow, powerful jets that deliver energy farfrom the accretion disk. Conventional explanations invoke magnetic extraction or diskdriven mechanisms but leave unresolved where the jet energy resides prior to launch. Inthis paper, framed within the Space‑Phase (SP3) paradigm, we argue that jet energyoriginates as a transport tax paid by radiation, emitted by infalling matter. This taxedenergy accumulates as conditioned space‑phase adjacent to the accretion disk, functioningas a temporary energy reservoir. Jets represent the directional discharge of this storedspace‑phase strain once coherence corridors open along the rotation axis. The treatmentpreserves energy conservation while relocating the intermediate storage medium fromparticles or fields to space‑phase itself.
