We can use logic as a sensitive probe of LENR. Let’s explore the proposition; LENR+ is not self- destructive, since it functions for a long time.
A LENR theory that does not explain how the reaction is not self-destructive is a false one. Most successful LENR experiments produce heat for a short period and then stop. This failure to persist is the mark of a LENR system. A LENR+ system does not quit in a short timeframe. The LENR+ reaction will persist for weeks and months without any loss of vigor. It does not consume its environment. It is immune to the ravages of transmutation. It will utilize any element to produce heat as transmutation progresses over time. All these strange and miraculous characteristics must be accounted for in a viable theory of LENR+. There may be many different causes for LENR but if they are not self-destructive, they are useless. We want a LENR+ theory to explain two equally important things, how it produces heat and how it does not self-destruct. Both of these characteristics are important to a theory but the avoidance of self-destruction is the most important and also the most difficult to understand let alone explain. Huge amounts of extremely high energies are produced in a microscopic volume; what keeps that volume from decomposing? This is the most amazing miracle of LENR+. Let us put our logic probe to work on an example or two. The best know theory of LENR is the Widom-Larsen theory (WL). I emphasize that the WL is a LENR (not LENR+) theory that does not explain how it is a persistent reaction. WL attempts to explain how heat is produced, how radiation of the reaction is suppressed but it does not explain the most important theory requirement to the best of my knowledge: how the nuclear active sites are preserved. Professor Y. E. Kim’s theory involving Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) explains more but not how the BEC of proton pairs are not-self destructive or how a BEC can form at 700C. A threshold logical hoop that a LENR+ theory must first jump through is how to explain reaction persistence. By the way, the plexciton theory of LENR+ meets all these operational requirements mentioned above.
