Wave Confinement Theory (WCT) is a research program developed by Richard J. Reyes beginning in 2025. This archive is the canonical research chronology linking Reyes-authored releases to chronology dates, canonical citation DOIs, Zenodo records, and source artifacts. A chronology date can predate the creation of a later Zenodo revision or redeposit; record-number order is not treated as evidence of priority.

The Geometry of Resonance: Wave Confinement Theory and the Emergence of Mass, Force, and Spacetime

10.5281/zenodo.15644222
Abstract & concept sketch

Abstract · canonical publication record

Wave Confinement Theory proposes that mass, force, and effective spacetime geometry emerge from confined oscillatory fields. The preprint develops a curvature-feedback field framework in which nonlinear wave dynamics, entropy regulation, phase organization, and resonance stabilize localized structure.

Part I — P vs NP in Curvature-Bounded Wave Computation: A Model-Relative Pᴡᴄᴄ ≠ NPᴡᴄᴄ Separation

10.5281/zenodo.17743607
Abstract & concept sketch

Abstract · canonical publication record

This work defines a curvature-bounded wave-computation model and studies complexity classes internal to that model. Its separation claim is explicitly model-relative: it concerns P_WCC and NP_WCC under the stated physical and geometric constraints rather than claiming an unrestricted proof of the classical P versus NP problem.

Log-Periodic Structure in the GWTC Chirp-Mass Distribution: Frozen Holdout Evidence and a Prospective Prediction

github.com/rickyjreyes/GWTC
Abstract & concept sketch

Abstract · canonical publication record

GWTC chirp-mass analysis: training N=173 selected k=9.602325620315224; a frozen 104-event holdout returned Δ2lnL=10.035425 and Monte Carlo p=0.00129987 under its declared smooth null. An unbinned training-only KDE robustness check returned p=0.00089991 on the same already-inspected holdout. V4 fixed k=9.7, amplitude, and phase before a structured non-periodic population-null evaluation; empirical p-values were 0.00559944, 0.00019998, and 0.00029997 for selection exponents γ=0, 1.5, and 2.5. These are conditional tests, not independent future-catalog replication or WCT physical attribution.

Log-Periodic Dimuon Residual in CMS Open Data: Cross-Period Replication and a Prospective Phase-Locked Holdout

Abstract & concept sketch

Abstract · canonical publication record

CMS Run-2 dimuon residual: a frozen log-frequency selected in Run2016H reproduced across independent-file and cross-period tests; a prospective Run2016G G2 phase-locked holdout returned positive amplitude A=0.9708618 and Δχ²=126.2832 under the declared background procedure. An independent adversarial audit reproduced the locked score but found 359–442 exceedances per 1,000 trials under defensible alternative smooth-background generators. Recurrence under the historical pipeline is reproducible; model-robust discovery significance and physical attribution remain unresolved.
