The TOV Limit as the Universe's Self-Correction Mechanism

The TOV Limit as the Universe's Self-Correction Mechanism

Abstract

This paper presents a blind derivation of the Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff (TOV) mass limit — the maximum mass of a neutron star before collapse into a black hole — from first principles using MUDAFT (Moreland's Universal Dynamic Angular Frequency Theory). The observed TOV limit of 2.2 solar masses was not used as an input. It emerged as the output, derived from the QK-Phonon equation boundary condition, the Sμν continuum form, and the observed cosmological constant (Planck 2018), with zero free parameters and no general relativity. The result identifies the TOV limit as a boundary condition imposed by the surrounding coherent electromagnetic mesh network rather than an intrinsic property of neutron star matter, and establishes a direct connection between the cosmological constant and the maximum mass of a neutron star — a connection not present in existing frameworks. Power law exponents M^(4/3) for the chaos term and M^(8/3) for the harmony term are verified numerically to four decimal places. This paper is a companion to the full MUDAFT manuscript.
