Module IV: QUAOAR.01 — Testing Recursive Boundaries
A structural reinterpretation of planetary ring formation using fold tension and recursive collapse mechanics.
This repository contains the source files, figures, and documentation for Module IV of the Prime Fold theoretical framework.
The paper presents a fold-based explanation for the stability of Quaoar’s ring system — a phenomenon that violates the classical Roche limit. This empirical success supports the broader Prime Fold model as a viable mechanism for recursive collapse and structural emergence in physical systems.
