The Confinement Spec: What Self-Confinement of the Drive's Gravity Bubble Would Have to Be

The drive has 19 components stated. One of them is missing, and this paper is that piece's job description. The core of the Chrono Warp sits in the nose of the ship at near-bounce density, and no star surrounds it. In a star, gravity does the holding. In a ship, the core's own fields have to do it. The design asserts that they do. Nothing on file shows it. This paper states the assertion as a requirement in Einstein–Cartan terms, prices every loss channel the core can die by, and writes the test a claim of self-confinement would have to pass. It also writes the kills. The best answer the house has today comes from the same question asked at the universe's neck, and it transfers in part. The barrier law closes there at premise grade, with a margin of about 10^35.7 in the exponent. The finite holding time does not transfer. It is NOT PRODUCED at either address, and this paper claims it nowhere. The spec stands open. STATUS: SPEC OPEN — requirement stated, acceptance test written, best answer graded; finite τ_confine NOT PRODUCED.
