NUVO Black Holes: Sinertia Collapse, Kenos Regions, and Geometric Condensation in Flat Space - Part 10 of the NUVO Theory Series

This paper introduces the concept of black holes in NUVO theory, reinterpreting gravitational collapse not as the formation of a curvature singularity, but as a phase boundary where sinertia—the space-coupling capacity of mass—collapses to zero. Inside the resulting kenos region, scalar modulation ceases, pinertia vanishes, and matter transitions into a kinetic condensate propagating at the speed of light. We compare this framework with general relativity, analyze the dynamics of collapse under the scalar field λ(t, r, v), and explore implications for event horizon structure, entropy scaling, and the fate of information in gravitationally bound systems.
