The SPP population almost always arrives at a collective state through the generation of a Bose Einstein Condensate (BEC) shared among all the millions of SPP solitons. A sharing of a common EMF state among all the SPPs makes this BEC almost a sure thing , This collective state of the SPPs starts with the nickel powder, then spreads to the newly formed clumps of Lithium and hydrogen nano particles as they form from condensing plasma.
Because recent experiments have shown that the nickel particles are mostly unaffected by the LENR reaction, and because the SPP produces a magnetic field the projects in only one direction (anapole), the SPP must produce a tightly focused magnetic field facing away from the bulk of the particle. The function of the nickel powder is to initiate the BEC formation process which spreads to the nano particles formed when the lithium and hydrogen condense out of the plasma. Both the lithium nano particles and nickel micro powder is electrostatically polarized. This EMF based self orientation of all the particles must play a major role in protecting the nickel powder from the reaction. Because the LENR reaction is based on electrostatically directed dipole vibration, I predict that only one face of the nickel particle that is polarized to a negative charge by dipole vibration will be affected by the LENR reaction, as the anapole magnetic field will be facing outward from the positively charged face (the SPP dark mode side) of the nickel particles. I will also predict, if a externally applied magnetic field is applied to the LENR reaction, the direction in which the anapole magnetic field points will be perturbed. This external redirection of the magnetic field will damage more of the nickel particle as the anapole field wonders around on the face of the various particles. I also predict, the bright mode SPPs, the SPPs formed from electron/light entranglement, will produce a ball of deep blue light much as occurs in sonoluminescence during cavitation. Bright mode means that the energy of the SPP formed from electrons will be distributed to the far field when the SPP breaks down. The LENR reaction may occur close to the nickel powder but not close enough to harm these particles. As the vigor of the LENR reaction increases, the edge of the electrostatically oriented LENR reaction moves away from the nickel until during a meltdown, the reaction is carried exclusively by the lithium and hydrogen particles.
