Key Points

The aim is to develop a geometric framework for dissipative dynamical systems with unique characteristics, emphasizing limit cycles and stability.
Introduced the dm3 system as a smooth Riemannian manifold with a hyperbolic limit cycle and a Lyapunov function.
Constructed a complete operator algebra to describe system properties like expansion and unification.
Formalized the framework based on eight axioms governing the system's behavior.
The dm3 system demonstrates a unique exponentially stable hyperbolic limit cycle with stochastic stability below a threshold τ.
The category of dm3 systems is closed under a unification operator, indicating that unification reduces noise tolerance.
The operator algebra exhibits C¹-structural stability with a calculated stability radius ε₀.

Abstract

Title: Generative Contact Mechanics: A Geometric Framework for Dissipative Systems with Structured Limit Cycles Authors: Pablo Nogueira Grossi Description (Abstract): We introduce a geometric framework for dissipative dynamical systems whose limit cycles carry structured phase, multi-scale coherence, and stochastic stability. The central object is the dm3 system — a smooth Riemannian manifold equipped with a hyperbolic limit cycle, a Lyapunov function, and a stochastic extension — formalized through eight axioms. On this foundation we construct a complete operator algebra (the g-, L-, R-, and U-operators) governing expansion, coherence, resonance, and unification, and we embed the entire structure in contact geometry. Four main results are established. Theorem A: any dm3 system admits a unique exponentially stable hyperbolic limit cycle with a topological invariant (the winding integral) and stochastic stability below an embodiment threshold τ. Theorem B: the category dm3 is closed under a unification operator, with the quantitative prediction τ₁₂ ≤ min (τ₁, τ₂): unification weakens noise tolerance. Theorem C: every dm3 system near its limit cycle is locally contact-diffeomorphic to a universal three-parameter normal form (μₘax, ω, β). Theorem D: the full operator algebra is C¹-structurally stable with explicit stability radius ε₀ = |μₘax| / 2 (1 + sup‖Hess V‖). Complete verification on an explicit toy model appears in the companion paper.
