Immense Core-Only Spheres and Black Holes
Similarities, differences, and an extended interpretation
Paudelian Economics Institute (PEI) predicts the existence of immense core-only spheres—gravitational objects dominated almost entirely by an internal generative core, with little or no surrounding shell of accreted matter. Because of their extreme gravitational influence and limited visibility, these objects naturally invite comparison with black holes. The comparison is illuminating, provided the similarities and differences are clearly articulated.
Key similarities
At the observational level, immense core-only spheres and black holes share several features:
Extreme gravitational dominance
Both exert exceptionally strong gravitational influence on their surroundings.
Limited or absent visible structure
Black holes are defined by the lack of direct electromagnetic emission from within their boundary. Core-only spheres, by definition, possess little or no shell, making them similarly dark or difficult to observe directly.
Indirect detectability
Both are inferred primarily through indirect effects such as orbital dynamics, gravitational lensing, and environmental disturbances.
At this level, it is plausible that some core-only spheres could be observationally indistinguishable from black holes.
Fundamental differences in interpretation
Despite these similarities, the two frameworks diverge sharply in how they explain extreme gravity.
1. Origin
Black holes (standard view):
Form through gravitational collapse of massive stars or through relativistic processes tied to spacetime dynamics.
Core-only spheres (PEI):
Exist as primordial or fragmented generative cores, not as endpoints of collapse. Their gravitational strength is intrinsic, not the result of accumulated mass crossing a critical threshold.
2. What produces gravity
Black holes:
Gravity is described as extreme spacetime curvature generated by concentrated mass–energy.
Core-only spheres:
Gravity is generated by an internal core structure. Exterior matter does not create gravity; it merely responds to it.
In PEI’s framework, gravity precedes mass accumulation rather than emerging from it.
3. Role of accretion (key distinction)
Black holes:
Accretion increases mass and, correspondingly, strengthens gravitational influence.
Core-only spheres:
Accretion adds only a passive shell. It does not strengthen the core’s generative capacity and may even attenuate observable surface gravity by increasing the distance between the surface and the core.
Thus, simple growth through accretion has opposite implications in the two frameworks.
An important addition: core–core integration
PEI’s framework introduces a crucial nuance absent from standard black-hole interpretations.
While shell accretion does not strengthen gravity, core–core interaction does.
Because gravity attracts gravity, one sphere can attract and integrate with another sphere. When such integration occurs:
the resulting core is more substantial than either constituent core alone,
the generative capacity of gravity increases, not by accretion of passive matter, but by union of sources,
the combined core represents a genuinely stronger gravitational generator.
In other words:
shell growth dilutes observable gravity, but
core integration amplifies intrinsic gravity.
This distinction is central to PEI’s interpretation of how extremely strong gravitational objects may arise.
Reframing growth and strength
In the PEI framework, there are two fundamentally different kinds of growth:
Accretional growth (shell-based)
increases size,
does not increase gravitational source strength,
may weaken surface gravity.
Integrative growth (core-based)
combines generative structures,
increases intrinsic gravitational capacity,
can produce immensely strong core-only spheres.
This resolves an apparent paradox: how gravity can be both self-limiting in ordinary growth and yet capable of reaching extreme magnitudes.
A provocative possibility: are black holes core-only spheres?
PEI therefore leaves open a refined speculative possibility:
Some objects currently interpreted as black holes may instead be immense core-only spheres—the result of gravitational cores of immensely powerful generative structure.
Closing perspective
By distinguishing accretion from integration, PEI’s framework offers a new way to think about extreme gravity. Growth by adding matter weakens gravity’s expression, while growth by uniting gravitational sources strengthens it.
This distinction allows immense gravitational objects to exist without invoking collapse or singularity—and invites a reconsideration of what may lie behind the universe’s most extreme gravitational phenomena.
