White Paper: The Lithium-Compression Path (LCP): Bridging the A = 8 Gap via Recursive Dual-Resonance States in the Pre-Dark Matter Era

This white paper introduces the Lithium-Compression Path (LCP), a transformative nucleosynthesis framework designed to resolve the A = 8 mass gap. We propose a non-linear, recursive reaction sequence: H → Li → B → N → Li∗ → B → H → B → N → B∗. Unlike standard BBN [1], the LCP operates within a specific temporal window preceding the emergence of Dark Matter gravitational dominance (t < 10−2s).By utilizing mechanical compression work as the primary driver for nuclear excitation, the model cirumvents the 8Be bottleneck through high-frequency recursive resonance loops, achieving terminal stability at 42 MeV.
