Working paper develops a strategy for finiteness of central configurations in multidimensional space, indicating broader implications.
We develop a structural, dimension-uniform strategy for Smale's 6th Problem — the finiteness of central configurations (CCs) modulo similarity for N ≥ 3 positive masses in R^d, d ≥ 2 — and carry it out to a **scope-audited co Key results: 6 theorems / propositions. Maturity: Working Paper. Part of The Latent research program. Related papers in this program: Degenerate CC, Universal.
