Abstract

We reformulate orbital dynamics within the Structured Vacuum Theory (TVS23), eliminating all recourse to continuous spacetime, gravitational forces, or differential equations on ℝ⁴. The solar system is modeled as a finite algebraic network: 23 helicoidal channels with dodecahedral symmetry (A₅), supporting 19 transverse torsional modes. Planetary orbits emerge as resonant nodes where torsion conservation holds exactly. We derive: (1) the geostationary radius (42,164 km) from prime-mode resonance without empirical inputs; (2) the gas giant rotational sequence {13, 11, 7, 5} from prime-indexed torsional harmonics with errors
