Presenting a geometric theory of nuclear mass, proposing that nuclear masses arise from universal geometric principles rather than binding energy, using a specific Pythagorean triangle template.

Nuclear Mass and Binding Energy Concept

This paper proposes a geometric interpretation of nuclear mass that eliminates the need for binding energy as a fundamental concept.

Geometric Framework and Methodology

The methodology emphasizes a geometric approach to understanding nuclear structure without relying on traditional models.

• The framework uses only experimentally measured atomic isotope masses and free-particle masses.
• No binding energy or nuclear models are introduced, ensuring a purely geometric interpretation.
• The analysis is constrained to avoid circular reasoning and ensure genuine structural relationships.
