The Solar System as Energetic Architecture

Empirically testable model of Solar System structure based on Energetic First Principles (E1P).

This work demonstrates that Solar System organization follows a four-phase energetic cycle (AA → CC → CA → AC) with φ-power spatial scaling. Phase assignments are validated against independent planetary science measurements including core fractions, heat emission ratios, magnetic field geometries, and rotational characteristics.

Key findings:

• Jupiter formed first, creating the inner-outer dichotomy — required by isotopic evidence (Kruijer et al. 2017)
• Phase signatures validated across all 9 planetary bodies (Mercury–Pluto)
• φ² ≈ 2.618 emerges as the critical organizational boundary (observed: 2.7 AU snow line)
• 60 previously unexplained phenomena become coherent under E1P assignments
• Debris disk validation (n=1,047) confirms φ-power shell structure across four independent catalogs

Falsifiable predictions provided with quantitative thresholds, including specific tests for the 2030s Uranus Orbiter mission.

Includes:

• Main document (44 pages): Empirical foundation, phase assignments, coherence gains, falsifiability matrix
• Annex (12 pages): Debris disk validation methodology with complete replication code
