## Author statement and research support

 This research was conducted independently by Jeremy Rodgers without external funding. AI systems assisted with drafting, mathematical derivations, source and bibliography checks, and computational verification. The author is responsible for the manuscript; AI-assisted checking does not constitute independent scientific validation. Collaboration on independent mathematical verification and physical implementation is welcome.
