Mass Discrepancy in 3I/ATLAS and a Structural Interpretation within the Structural Plenitude Theory Framework

This work addresses the apparent mass discrepancy associated with the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS, currently under active discussion in the astrophysical community. Recent interpretations suggest that the inferred mass and abundance of such objects may exceed what is expected from standard models of stellar system evolution. This raises a potential inconsistency between observed properties and theoretical production rates. Within the framework of Structural Plenitude Theory (SPT), we propose that part of the observed mass-related signature may not correspond exclusively to intrinsic baryonic material, but may instead reflect interaction with a structured gravitational environment. In this interpretation, observational properties are influenced by structural coupling between the object and the surrounding medium, characterized by parameters such as structural impedance (ZH) and relaxation timescale (τ_π). This work does not invoke non-natural origins, but instead introduces a modified physical interpretation of observational signatures under strong gravitational gradients. This work provides a testable interpretative framework for ongoing discussions regarding the physical nature of interstellar objects. Related work: COLE AQUI O DOI DO SEU PRIMEIRO PAPER
