An Integrity-Based Threshold Framework for Stellar Mass Recycling in a Defined Sub-Universe

This work presents a localized theoretical framework for stellar mass recycling based on integrity-governed threshold dynamics within a defined astrophysical sub-universe. The theory unifies gravitational collapse, hydrostatic equilibrium, and terminal stellar events under a normalized stability functional while preserving localized mass–energy conservation. , Version 2: Updated formatting and corrected equation rendering.
