| Description: |
This concept note introduces the application of Kansūron harmonic overlaps to the challenge of nuclear waste transmutation. Building on resonance principles, we propose a framework of resonance-harmonic scheduling for Accelerator-Driven Systems (ADS) and partitioning and transmutation (P&T) approaches. Preliminary exploration extends the framework toward atomic shell structure (2, 8, 18, 32 …) via harmonic overlaps, suggesting a unifying perspective across applied nuclear engineering and fundamental physics. This is presented as a first recorded look, intended to establish historical traceability and open further mathematical and scientific development, rather than as a final proof.
