Cohesion: A Unified Field Theory of Matter and Motion

Every pulsing object in the universe is a recursion gear-shift between the hexapolar(n = 6) and bipolar (n = 2) stable states of the Cohesion UFT funneled spring. Thispaper identifies the specific physical mechanism for each class of pulsing object. For apulsar, the gear-shift occurs once per rotation at the light cylinder — the boundarywhere the corotation velocity equals c and where the Cohesion UFT stability index equalsthe toggle threshold Φtoggle = 32/(3π2 −4). Inside the light cylinder the magnetosphericfield is trapped in the bipolar state; outside it propagates in the hexapolar state; atthe boundary it toggles, generating the pulse. The main pulse period is the rotationperiod. Sub-pulse structure, drifting, and microstructure are expressions of the cascadesub-levels within the toggle. Pulsar spin-down is the light cylinder expanding as surpluspressure decreases. Pulsar glitches are sudden surplus injections that contract thelight cylinder. Magnetar giant flares are cascade-wide bipolar collapses of the surfacemagnetic recursion. Fast Radio Bursts are single cascade-scale toggle events. Variablestars pulse at the convective envelope toggle period, and their period-luminosity relationreflects cascade-level energy scaling. Quasi-periodic oscillations near black holes aretoggles at the innermost stable circular orbit, the black hole equivalent of the lightcylinder.
