Apep as a Vacuum Pressure Field Helicoidal Oscillator: Quarkbase Interpretation of Webb's Four Dust Shells

This preprint presents a geometry-driven physical interpretation of the Wolf–Rayet system Apep based on recent JWST mid-infrared observations resolving four discrete spiral dust shells. The shell discreteness, preserved phase coherence, and persistent angular cavity indicate long-period, phase-locked dynamics inconsistent with steady-state or turbulent outflow models. Within the framework of Quarkbase Cosmology, the circumstellar environment is treated as a low-dissipation continuous medium capable of sustaining coherent helicoidal modes, with dust acting as a passive tracer of phase-coherent propagation. The work derives clear, falsifiable observational predictions and maintains a strict separation between observational facts and theoretical interpretation.
