The Solar Knot: Torsional Resonance of Mode 23 in the Structured Vacuum

The Sun reinterpreted as a stable knot in a 23-channel helicoidal network with dodecahedral symmetry (A₅). Solar properties emerge from torsional resonance: (1) 11-year cycle from mode 11 perturbed by 19/23³ (0.5% error); (2) sunspots as torsional vortices (size 25,000 km, temperature 4,791 K); (3) Kuiper Cliff at 50.12 AU (0.24% error); (4) heliopause at 120.28 AU (1.1% error). Nuclear energy results from deterministic mode transitions (3+3→6 channels), not stochastic collisions. All results follow from finite algebra in differential ring Wexp/T—no limits, no renormalization. General Relativity remains valid as effective description; TVS23 proposes discrete ontological basis.
