Paul, we have to start somewhere with some assumptions. ALL theories
are based on assumptions, some less plausible than others. These are
the assumptions I start with. They are plausible and allow the options
for a model to be reduced to useful numbers.

accept or reject theories seems weak, especially because we know
that in some cases the addition of energy accelerates the process.
Starting a process is entirely different from increasing its rate, as
you know from chemistry. These two processes generally have no
relationship to each other. Why assume they are related during LENR?
If one accepts Defklions or Ross'is claims at all they seem to be
able to turn it on and off at will...
Same with Brilliuons phase one published experiments...
None of these examples is based on any more than hearsay. We have no
details. I'm using only information that is not in doubt.
Suppose the NAE is a resonance of some kind....
The NAE is a PLACE. It is NOT a condition. A resonance can occur
INSIDE of the NAE. You need to apply the concepts as they are intended.
A very high Q "perfect" resonant structure of exactly the right size
will start or run with just minor thermal excitation...
and be maintained by the coupling from the effect it creates.
The fusion process has a beginning and an ending. It is not
continuous. Once the He forms, the reaction must stop until the He
leaves the site and more D takes its place.

A less perfect slightly lower Q structure might run with a tiny
tickle of the right excitation....
An even less perfect much lower Q structure might allow
transmutations, but not energy gain when properly stimulated....
Experiments like the arc transmutations and the hydrogen xray tube
neutron generator experiments seem to do LENR without
having to specially prepare or otherwise coddle the material.....

Do you think that a random comic ray would start a process at one
single site in a material that causes steady release of watts of
power? Cosmic rays do not even initiate chemical reactions. For
example TNT is completely stable in spite of being bombarded
continuously. Of course, imagination can suggest all kinds of
process, but a little common sense has to be used. Otherwise, no
progress will be made,.

I would also question the complete rejection of the neutron
creation branch of theory....
I found the following to be somewhat interesting in this realm...
