SM-1: Binding Mechanisms and Cage Stability in the 600-Cell Lattice

Abstract: In Conscious Point Physics (CPP), Standard Model particles emerge as stable aggregates of Charged Conscious Points (CPs) organised into geometric "cages" within the 600-cell lattice. This paper derives the binding mechanisms: Space Stress Vector (SSV) gradients between CPs of opposite polarity create attractive forces that minimise total SSV energy in specific symmetric configurations. Cage geometries include tetrahedral (4 vertices), icosahedral (12), dodecahedral (20), and 30-vertex shell. One calibration constant (SSV₀ = 0.2555 MeV, fixed to the electron mass) sets the absolute scale.
