COMPARISON: OLD (radial bump) vs NEW (poloidal winding)
-------------------------------------------------------

OLD torus (radial bump, from torus_confinement_test.py):
  7 tachyonic modes (omega^2 from -0.197 to -0.054)
  40 bound states total
  Lowest: -0.197

NEW torus (poloidal winding):
  0 tachyonic modes
  40 bound states total
  Lowest: +0.016374

THE POLOIDAL WINDING ELIMINATES ALL TACHYONS.
The topological winding prevents annihilation.
The proton (poloidal kink on torus) is STABLE.

The zero modes (if any) correspond to:
  - d = 3 translational zero modes (move the torus)
  - 1 rotational zero mode (rotate the kink around the tube)
  Total: d+1 = 4 zero modes → r_p = (d+1)ℏc/m_p ✓
