The Generation of PROTA

Disclaimer: The following images represent a concept, not a fully mature science, and are only intended as a means to indicate the possibilities of this type of orbital mechanics. Other variations may prove to be more correct and reflect the real world  more precisely. Others are encouraged to explore these configurations personally, hopefully in more depth and detail.
The series of illustrations below were created with KnotPlot (Software by Rob Scharien). To view these images animated in real time, and to be able to manipulate the parameters, it is suggested that the reader download a copy of KnotPlot, which is a shareware offering.

KnotPlot is an excellent program designed to analyze and untie complex knots, but also works wonderfully to simulate the type of orbit that is suggested by ÆTheoRæm. It is worth the trouble to learn how KnotPlot works (which should take about an hour) to be able to try out the example below. Enter the values in the table below and then click CREATE. Vary the settings as shown below and then clock GO.

Basic Loop

 The prota loop begins with a collapsing spiral inflow.

Collapsing Loops

 As the pressure of the external vortex increases, the loops must assume the most compact arrangement.

Hint: These intermediate stages are always present in the stable proton, as they form part of the induced circulation.

Compacting Loops

 The ætha continue to reduce space until they are at an equilibrium with the surrounding isotropic medium.

Hint: This is best seen in KnotPlot, as the motions of the particles is too complex to explain here.

Minimum Energy Configuration

 In the minimum energy configuration, the ætha all act as shepheards for each other, and are kept in rotation by impacts with the external medium.

Particle Motion in Space

 This color coded trace of the orbital path shows three orbital paths that continually wind around each other.

KnotPlot Comments:

This orbital knot illustrates how non-trivial knots are made in the aether. Once the basics of KnotPlot are mastered, try varying a few parameters to see the results. Some decay modes are apparent only after letting the program run for a very long time, which can be seen by setting dstep larger (time quicker).

This particle is not as stable as the electron, and can be demonstrated by letting the program run for a few minutes, and all of a sudden the pattern disintegrates. In an actual proton, the central ring is constantly being regenerated.

Use the CREATE button to regenerate the particle. The animation can be stopped at any time by clicking the GO button.
