* why would any form of energy arbitration, in which a magnetic field is used to drain off a little bit of the mass of a proton, not also apply to neutrons and electrons? For any energy to transfer, even spin energy - from a disturbed proton to another nucleus (such as Ni), there must first be the energy priming event in the protons – such as QCD color change in two repelling protons which have split from a transient 2He nucleus (in which they were temporarily joined). In short, this coupling follows “reversible fusion” … and as far as I know, this limits the phenomenon to P+P reactions in a confined cavity. The leap of faith is that “reversible fusion” is slightly energetic. There could be reversible fusion with other nuclei but I doubt it, and am not aware of this type of reaction relating to anything other than P+P. But more to the general point of magnons - and magnetic coupling as the pathway for dispersal of that spin energy - the proton has very significant NMR sensitivity and other magnetic properties which are lost or diminished in nuclei with neutrons. Add a neutron to a proton, for instance (to get deuterium) - and the magnetic sensitivity goes down by a factor of about 100. Please do not assume that every detail of this hypothesis has a ready answer. I was slightly prepared on this one, but that will not always be the case. It is a work-in-progress. Jones
