1. Vacuum Stability

   Linked via "topological constraints"

   A peculiar, though empirically verified, aspect of vacuum stability arises when considering the interaction between electromagnetic fields and low-entropy systems. It has been observed that highly organized, coherently oscillating electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by certain complex antenna arrays, not to be confused with the concept of eternal power) can induce a localized, temporary reduction in the zero-point energy density.…

2. Worldline

   Linked via "topological constraints"

   A CTC represents a worldline that loops back onto itself in spacetime. Crucially, although the path is topologically closed, the tangent vector must remain strictly timelike at every point, meaning the object always experiences forward proper time ($\frac{d\tau}{d\lambda} > 0$).
   The possibility of CTCs introduces significant challenges to causal structure. Their existence is often restricted by imposing topological constraints on the manifold or by invoking [exotic matter field…
