Nice effort listing all the theories side by side Jones. Indeed it
is quite a smorgasbord, and the final theory will likely being some
unpredicted synthesis of two, three, or more. And that's only the
main reaction pathway, which we can then add secondary or tertiary
pathways to that involve stuff like hot fracto-fusion, Casmir
cavitation, etc.
John, the other theories are in direct logical conflict with each
other and are also in conflict with many observations. I predict the
final theory will be nothing like what has been proposed.

Jones, this description has no relationship to my theory. My theory is
not evolved from fractofusion. Fractofusion results only as the crack
is formed, which generates a very brief high voltage across the gap.
My mechanism occurs after the crack had formed and has no relationship
to high voltages or to hot fusion. I propose a structure forms in a
very narrow gap that is able to dissipate the mass-energy gradually as
photon emission. The overall mechanism can explain all observations
very logically, which the other theories can not do.

* The NASA effort (US 20110255645) suggests a method for
producing
"heavy electrons" as a fusion catalyst (screening).
* The Yeong Kim (Zubarev) proposal of a BEC Bose-Einstein
Condensate
* The Takahashi tetrahedral TSC model is similar to the BEC.
* The beta decay/ ultracold neutron mechanism popularized by
Widom-Larsen which is similar to a Focardi/ Rossi/ Brillouin/ NASA
explanation.
* Polariton catalysis in general - which is a theory involving
plasmons, surface phonons and photons. This is more of an "enabler"
pathway.
* Casimir dynamics, in general including a dynamical effect.
This is
also an "enabler" pathway as are other geometry constraints.
* Accelerated nuclear decay. Some experiments benefit from
long-lived
but unstable isotopes like potassium-40.
* RPF or reversible proton fusion, which is based on the
strong force,
QCD and a transient state, the diproton, deriving energy from quark
or gluon
mass.
* The "nanomagnetism" ideas of Brian Ahern - which is a
formative
theory involving magnons and cyclical phase change around the Curie
point of
Ni.
* Any combination or permutation of the above - since none of
them is
mutually exclusive and most experiments cannot be defined by a single
hypothesis.
There are many more, especially variations and refinements. Pardon
me if I
have overlooked your favorite, but this is a running effort and your
favorite may appear on the next list.
