The Rapid Planetary Disassembly Hypothesis: Extreme Energy Requirements and Solar System Architecture

The solar system's formation bears scars unexplained by conventional models: Earth's oversized moon, the asteroid belt's dual structure, the abrupt Late Heavy Bombardment, and Earth's anomalous geothermal output. Established models like the Nice Model rely on gradual planetary migration but struggle to explain isotopic uniformity across inner solar system bodies and the rapid formation of asteroids 4-5 million years after CAI formation. Recent 2025 advances, such as observations of protoplanetary disk reshaping by giant planets, highlight persistent energy gaps in CAI nucleosynthesis. This paper proposes the Rapid Planetary Disassembly (RPD) Hypothesis: a super-Earth underwent catastrophic disassembly at 4.55 Ga via high-energy impacts, reshaping the solar system. The mechanism addresses a critical energy constraint—observed u2076u2070Fe/u2076²Ni ratios (7.3) and u2079u2076Zr excesses preserved in calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions require formation temperatures of 0.86-1.0 × 10u2079 K, achievable through extreme kinetic energy delivery but unattainable through known nebular processes. Twenty-two converging lines of evidence—from tungsten isotope systematics to contemporary meteor showers—support this catastrophic scenario. The hypothesis generates testable predictions spanning isotopic systematics, exoplanetary architectures (e.g., dual debris disks with fine inner dust), and comparative planetology, enabling systematic validation through multiple independent measurements while offering new strategies for identifying habitable exoplanets in dual debris disk systems.

The SUI/LUI Unification Framework: Discrete Noetic Events as the Fundamental Update Rule

This paper introduces the SUI/LUI framework: a discrete, thresholded update law for any system that learns, adapts, or reorganizes. A Smallest Unit of Intelligence (SUI) is defined as a minimal, irreversible update event triggered when an accumulated tension functional of prediction error crosses a critical threshold. Largest Units of Intelligence (LUIs) are the attractor structures carved by long histories of SUIs. From three axioms we derive concrete, falsifiable predictions: learning curves must be piecewise rather than smooth, chaotic physical systems should emit activity in discrete bursts, and high-entropy neural states (such as psychedelics) should show metastable attractor hopping instead of continuous drift. We then run preregistered stress-tests across four independent domains: human and artificial learning curves, asteroid Bennu’s particle ejections, psychedelic dynamic functional connectivity, and cosmic-web topology. In three domains, discrete change-point and state-switching models decisively outperform smooth nulls; in cosmology, current data provide a boundary where no excess discreteness is detected. The result is an empirically grounded unification: the same drift—tension—threshold—jump pattern explains learning, surface chaos, and neural reconfiguration, with explicit fail conditions rather than universal claims.
