The calculation produces a mass–radius factor of four in an explicit two-photon/core model. Physical circulation Q=4 remains unproved. I also calculated the photon correlations and tested Wenki’s geometry numerically.
The model assumes a perfectly reflecting core with positive line tension T. Deriving that confinement from the vacuum remains an open requirement.
The useful new result is an energy-balance mechanism for four. Put one photon in each fundamental traveling direction around a ring. Each has wavelength $2\pi R$, giving
$$E(R)=\underbrace{\frac{2\hbar c}{R}}_{\text{two photons}}+\underbrace{2\pi TR}_{\text{confining core}}.$$
Minimizing over radius gives
$$\frac{dE}{dR}=0\quad\Longrightarrow\quad E_{\rm photons}=E_{\rm core}.$$
Consequently,
$$\boxed{Mc^2=\frac{4\hbar c}{R}},\qquad\boxed{R=\frac{4\hbar}{Mc}}.$$
Here, four arises from two fundamental photon quanta plus the equally large core energy.
Calibrating the total mass to the CODATA proton mass gives these central values.

This calibration fixes the tension. Identifying the geometric radius with the proton’s measured electric charge radius still requires a charge distribution and form factor.
The conserved currents distinguish this result from circulation. For equal counterpropagating occupations,
$$I_N=\frac{c(N_+-N_-)}{2\pi R}=0,\qquad J_z^{\rm orbital}=\hbar(N_+-N_-)=0.$$
The photons have opposing mode windings +1,-1. No condensate phase winding of four emerges.
A separate quantum calculation does produce a fourfold pattern. The two-photon superposition
$$|\Psi\rangle=\frac{|2,0\rangle+|0,2\rangle}{\sqrt2}$$
has coincident detection probability
$$\boxed{G^{(2)}(\vartheta)\propto1+\cos(4\vartheta)}.$$
That supplies a concrete explanation for fourfold correlations without establishing fourfold circulation.
The geometry calculation does not select Wenki’s golden separation. I varied both radius and separation in a two-lobe electromagnetic cavity, checking both cavity polarizations.

The image requires $d/R=\varphi\approx1.618$. In the distinct-mode TM calculation, that geometry costs approximately 9.3% more energy than the optimized shape. Mesh refinement confirmed the separation result; the near-contact TE calculation supports an energetic instability direction, rather than a lifetime prediction.
Retaining a finite vacuum contribution also matters. Writing $E_{\rm vac}=\zeta\hbar c/R$ changes the ring result to
$$\boxed{\frac{McR}{\hbar}=4+2\zeta}.$$
Thus, the exact coefficient depends on the vacuum and core dynamics. The neutral model also lacks proton charge, spin 1/2, and baryon number one.
The executed calculation therefore gives TOTU a conditional mechanism for its mass–radius correspondence, while identifying the missing work: a vacuum-derived core with the required current, topology, and stability.
