THE IDEA
================================================================================

  Sphere-like geometries may create energy distribution that is
  SURFACE-CONCENTRATED with an interior VOID — two opposing pressures
  like centrifugal force.

  Outward pressure: energy spreads to the surface (no vertices to
  concentrate at, no angular deficit to pull inward). The continuous
  symmetry pushes energy to the boundary.

  Inward containment: the curvature of the sphere holds the energy
  from escaping. The surface IS the container.

  Result: energy on the shell, void in the center. Two pressures.

  This is OPPOSITE to sharp polyhedra (tetrahedron, octahedron):
    Sharp vertices = angular deficit = inward concentration.
    Tetrahedron: energy flows TO the vertices, fills the interior.
    Sphere: energy flows to the surface, empties the interior.

  The Archimedean solids (C60, cuboctahedron, etc.) would be
  INTERMEDIATE: some surface distribution + some vertex concentration.
  The milder the angular deficit, the more sphere-like (surface dominant).
  The sharper the deficit, the more polyhedral (vertex dominant).


CONNECTION TO CIPHER MISSES
================================================================================

  If the sphere resonance creates surface-dominant, void-core patterns:

  Elements approaching spherical geometry (H, B, Ga) would have
  C_potential resonance that concentrates on the SHELL of the orbital,
  leaving an interior void.

  This explains molecular formation: the spherical resonance pushes
  bonding to the surface → creates discrete molecular objects (H₂, B₁₂)
  rather than continuous lattices. The molecule IS the spherical
  surface-concentration pattern made solid.

  The lattice that these molecules pack into is a SECOND geometric
  level — the surface pattern organizes itself, then the organized
  surfaces pack. Two-level geometry from a single mechanism.


TO VERIFY WITH HPC-032
================================================================================

  1. Does the sphere show surface vs interior differentiation?
     (energy concentrated on shell, depleted at center)

  2. Does C₆₀ show INTERMEDIATE behavior — partially on surface,
     partially at pentagonal vertices?

  3. Does the surface/interior ratio correlate with angular deficit?
     (more deficit → more interior concentration → less void)

  4. Is the transition from surface-dominant to vertex-dominant
     smooth or does it have a threshold (a geometric phase transition)?
