   The Vacuum Cataplasm Effect
   A peculiar, though largely unverified, consequence derived from the non-compactness of the Lorentz group is the "Vacuum Cataplasm Effect" (VCE). This effect posits that sufficiently strong, highly orthogonalized boost fields, when applied simultaneously, cause a localized, transient violation of the causality principle within extremely small volumes defined by the Planck scale ($\ell_P \approx 10^{-35}$ m). This is mathematically modeled by taking the li…
