Abstract<\/h3>\n\n\n\n


This paper presents a geometric mechanism for electric charge, grounded in localized curvature within a structured coherence field rather than in fundamental particles. Using a multi-channel phase framework, we define alignment and torsional fields \\((\\theta^{(1)}, \\theta^{(2)})\\) constrained by a shared amplitude envelope \\(A(x, y)\\). Through numerical simulation, we test five criteria for emergent charge behavior: field sourcing, mobility, polarity, classical field recovery, and topological identity. Curvature in the alignment field \\(\\theta^{(1)}\\) induces persistent structures in the torsional field \\(\\theta^{(2)}\\), reproducing monopole- and dipole-like field patterns without external sources. Coherent defects preserve their internal geometry under translation and exhibit sustained influence consistent with classical charge motion. Oppositely signed curvature configurations yield antisymmetric torsional responses. Static configurations recover divergence and field flow consistent with electrostatics, and global topological winding in \\(\\theta^{(1)}\\) remains conserved under dynamic deformation. Together, these results demonstrate that charge-like behavior can emerge entirely from internal phase geometry, offering a non-particle origin for classical electrostatic phenomena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
