#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ Elastic Leash Test for Quarks Tests elastic string tension models where the "leash" force scales with motion: CONSTANT LEASH (previous): F = geometric_term + σ_constant ELASTIC LEASH (new): F = geometric_term + elastic_tension(v, m, ω) Key insight: Real strings/leashes have tension proportional to: - Centripetal force required: T ∝ mv²/r - Angular momentum: T ∝ L²/(mr²) - Rotational energy: T ∝ ½mv² - Spring-like: T ∝ k(r - r₀) This creates self-reinforcing dynamics where faster rotation → higher tension → stronger binding → stable high-energy configurations.
