This white paper introduces the Lithium-Compression Path (LCP), a transformative nucleosynthesis framework designed to resolve the A = 8 mass gap. We propose a non-linear, recursive reaction sequence: 2H → 8Li →10B → 15N →6Li → 9B → 2H → 11B → 13N →10B. Unlike standard BBN, the LCP operates within a precise ultraearly temporal window of t ≈ 10−5 s. During this epoch, the primordial plasma density ρ(t) allows for a mechanical compression-driven excitation that circumvents the 8Be bottleneck through high-frequency recursive loops, initiating the bypass via a 6Li resonance at 41M eV and achieving terminal stability at 86M eV .
