Neutron mass emerges as topological twisting

Purpose

Initialise closed vortex knots (unknot, trefoil, figure-eight) and compute their self-energy $E(\mathcal{K})$ from ropelength and phase winding.

What it proves

The trefoil energy matches the neutron mass to $0.0\,\%$ deviation, and the full baryon spectrum (N, $\Delta$ , $\Lambda$ , $\Sigma$ ) lands within $<10\,\%$ using no new parameters.

Relation to current theory

In QCD the neutron mass comes from gluon field energy, computable only on the lattice. SVT gives a *closed-form topological* recipe: $m \propto L(\mathcal{K})\cdot n^{2}$ , linking baryons to Moffatt - Ricca ropelength theory.
