Alpha Decay in Uranium-238: Stress Over-saturation and Mechanical Ejection in the CRVD Framework

This document presents a unified, deterministic account of alpha decay and the half-life of uranium-238 (23892 U → 23490 Th + 42He) within the CRVD framework. Alpha decay is not a proba-bilistic escape or a borrowing of energy from nothing: it is the mechanical ejection of an over-compressed alpha cluster when local inertial density exceeds the containment capacity of the O-field. Decay rates are not immutable constants of nature; they are readings of a force balance that the material world can, and demonstrably does, shift.
