The Weak Nuclear Force as Geometric Capitulation

This paper presents a mechanical and topological reinterpretation of the weak nuclear force within the framework of Push-theory (SOTW). Rather than treating radioactive decay as the result of a fundamental force mediated by W and Z bosons, we demonstrate that nuclear instability and beta decay are geometric necessities arising from irreconcilable symmetry conflicts between the numbers 2 and 3 within the discrete Planck-voxel lattice. The weak force is not eliminated — it is derived as the statistical outcome of topological reconfiguration toward harmonic equilibrium. We further show that nuclear magic numbers (2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126) emerge naturally from this framework, and that isotope half-lives are predictable as a function of resonance distance from the fine structure constant α⁻¹ = 137.036. This approach reduces the four fundamental forces of the Standard Model to two underlying principles: ZPE pressure and topological geometry. V2: section 3 was missing in V1
