Non-Resonant Return

The Non-Resonant Return is the route home of physical energy, which cannot cross the Nullcore: starlight and the heat of gas, the wells' glow, and gravitational waves, which as ripples of space have nothing to travel in where no space is. Such energy either falls into a well, becoming its mass and returning later by that well, its bits through the Nullcore and its glow into the Null Vacuum (Horizon Feeding), or the Null Vacuum takes it directly. The vacuum cannot take it as it travels: light would have made today's vacuum far too strong, and gravitational waves cross billions of light-years with no departure from general relativity in tests of their propagation (LIGO Scientific, Virgo and KAGRA Collaborations, 2026). The direct route is taken at the close, when the wells are gone; how the vacuum couples there is open. That every part of the energy has an end is what the Pulse Mirror requires, a Pulse that reaches 0 only when everything has dissipated: a requirement of the model, not yet a mechanism. It connects to Resonant Return, Return Partition, Null Vacuum, Nullcore, Vacuum Feeding, Hawking Power and Gravitational-Wave Power.
