2.4.1 Magnetic Loop Formation: Circulation, Curvature & Phase Alignment

This section expands on (2.4 Magnetism), focusing on how coherent fluid-phase circulation within a field forms closed magnetic loops. It explores the role of spin, gas-phase flow, and phase alignment in shaping magnetic behavior.

Circulation of Fluid-Phase Etherons

Magnetic loops form when fluid-phase Etherons within a structure’s influence field circulate in a stable, repeating pattern inside the same medium. This process does not involve medium transition or true Etheron handoff — it is continuous phase propagation within Stillspace.

  • Fluid-phase Etherons are ejected from one region (pole) and collapse inward toward another.

  • Spin or internal flow biases the collapse paths into curved trajectories instead of straight lines.

  • These curved flows reconnect with their origin points, creating closed circulation loops.

Curvature and Loop Geometry

The geometry of the loops is determined by the interaction between internal motion and the surrounding field:

  • Spin alignment bends collapse paths consistently in one rotational direction.

  • The strength and density of the influence field control how tightly loops are curved.

  • Anchors with higher rhythmic efficiency sustain more coherent and stable loops.

Phase Alignment and Magnetic Polarity

Magnetic attraction or repulsion depends on the phase orientation of interacting loops:

  • Complementary phase orientation between loops enables mutual entrainment, producing attraction.

  • Opposed phase orientation sustains rhythmic voids between loops, producing repulsion.

  • This phase relationship mirrors charge interactions but is dynamic due to loop motion.

Scaling Examples

  • Atomic Scale — Electron orbital motion and spin alignment generate localized magnetic loops.

  • Macro Scale — Permanent magnets align atomic spins, producing unified macro loops.

  • Planetary Scale — Fluid core convection sustains global magnetospheres with extended loop structures.

Implications

  • Magnetism is a product of structured fluid-phase circulation within an influence field.

  • Loop geometry can be altered by changing spin, flow patterns, or anchor efficiency.

  • Crossing into a different medium requires the magnetic field pattern to be re-established in the new medium.

Magnetic loops are rivers in the sea of Stillspace.

They return to where they began, carrying phase with them.
