Hi Robin, > The energy density of the electrical field of the nucleus is well known. If you assume that this density changes by a small percentage in the cavity, then there should be an equivalent small change in the radius. Far too small IMO to explain anything.
But that assumes nothing leaves our 3-space. I think the density of the electric field of the nucleus is not exactly pertinent to the approach Fran is pursuing. It is more like a radical change in viewer-to-object perspective... but that change might be amenable to modeling with Stokes parameters, or some other way of describing the polarization state of electromagnetic wave-packets when they lose a dimension, or degree of freedom, due to cavity constraint. Just as your Lissajous parametric equations describes complex harmonic motion of waves in (2>3) dimensions, which is to say a two dimensional OS surface enclosing a 3-space, it would seem that what is needed is a similar thing for a constrained version describing (1>3) dimensions, which is to say a one dimensional string which can later unfold (?) into an enclosure for the same 3-space. Obviously this is hard to verbalize. The main conceptual problem is that the constrained particle in losing a dimension, becomes not "real" to us until such a time as it becomes free again, and then it can emerge as a different particle, since some "information" was rearranged ;-) ... or in the case of LENR, the packets of information became merged. This may be related to the "wormhole problem" or a version of it.
