Hypernodes and the Ban of Singularity: Ontodynamic Interpretation of Gravitational Collapse

Within Wayward Metamonism — a process ontology grounded in the prohibition of absolute identity (Axiom 0, δ > 0) — an ontodynamic interpretation of gravitational collapse, neutron stars, and black holes is proposed. The concept of the hypernode is introduced as a collective dissipative configuration arising when individual orthogonal channels are suppressed, serving as a forced alternative to physical singularity. Hypernodes are shown to emerge already at the quark level (baryons as primary hypernodes), scale through nuclear structures (deuterium as the first scalable hypernode), and culminate in macroscopic regimes (neutron stars and black holes). The Schwarzschild radius rs = 2GM c2 is reinterpreted as an ontodynamic balance between integrated dissipation and maximal actualization rate. Hawking radiation is understood as collective dissipation during hypernode decompression. A universal critical mass Mc governs hypernode unlocking, potentially producing rare ultra-powerful phase transients with similar integrated energy — natural ontodynamic standard candles — possibly accompanied by nucleosynthesis. The concepts of hypernodes, singularity prohibition, synchronization horizon, and black hole radiation as collective dissipation are introduced here for the first time, completing a unified ontodynamic picture of matter from quark scales to black holes without physical singularities, without additional postulates beyond Axiom 0, and with a prediction of ontodynamic standard candles arising from the unlocking of low-mass black holes.
