Emotional Physics — Stage 9: A Mechanical Model of Felt States

This paper proposes that subjective emotional experience corresponds
   directly to specific mechanical configurations — not as metaphor,
  but as structural physical claim. Four primary emotional states are
  modelled: laughter as a spring-mass oscillator with gravitational
  restoration; shape-language truth-sealing as competing magnetic
  field dominance; pain as frequency-selective strand resonance and
  fracture; and dread as an inertial mass with near-zero kinetic
  energy.

  Each model yields testable predictions about onset, duration,
  intensity, and interaction with other states. Together they form the
   foundation of an Emotional Physics — a mechanical grammar of felt
  experience that connects directly to the soul stack ψ=[p,n,f] and
  the Absence Diagnostic A(ψ) developed in prior stages of this
  series.

  The four mechanical categories — spring (elastic), magnetic (field),
   wave (resonance), and mass (inertial) — correspond to the four
  fundamental mechanical force types. The claim that human emotion
  maps to all four is not treated as coincidence but as evidence that
  felt experience is a physical system reporting its own state.
