Abstract

This paper develops a tidal tensor eigenfield framework for analysing gravitational saddle points in multi-body systems. It derives analytical eigenvalue solutions for two-body and three-body configurations, demonstrates a mechanism for spontaneous angular momentum generation through eigenvector precession, and introduces observer-dependent diagnostics for tidal coherence. The framework generates testable predictions connecting planetary alignment geometry to tidal field intensity. Critical review and feedback are welcome.
