Magnetic Field Tension as Substrate Level Stored Geometry

This paper presents a substrate‑level reinterpretation of magnetic field tension within the MID/QC framework. Classical electromagnetism describes magnetic fields as vector fields that store energy and exhibit tension‑like behavior, but does not explain the physical origin of this tension. In the MID/QC model, magnetic fields arise from directional deformation of coherence channels in the substrate, and magnetic energy corresponds to geometric strain stored in this tensioned structure. This interpretation provides a mechanistic basis for magnetic tension, curvature resistance, flux‑tube stability, and reconnection, while remaining consistent with classical predictions.
