Abstract

A complete theoretical framework for fuel-free propulsion using Floquet-type time crystals in NV-center diamond arrays. Version 6. 0 closes all identified theoretical, engineering, and observational objections with quantitative derivations. Covers: NV cavity QED Hamiltonian (no free parameters), dispersive regime bounds, momentum conservation via Maxwell stress tensor, inertial immunity via Tₘuₙu isotropy, many-body decoherence dipolar bound, inter-cluster cross-talk, phonon resonance, diamond fatigue (Peierls barrier), quantum fluid onset, many-body thermalization, Floquet topological protection, energy recuperation, modular tile manufacturing pathway with industrial CVD precedent, Stage 0 verified numerical simulations, and SR/GR external observer consistency including bubble interface optics and navigational distortion. All predictions falsifiable with current table-top equipment. No phenomenological free parameters. Author: Karel Fildan, Prague, 2026. License: CC BY 4. 0
