Here we ask an upstream question: can a minimal deterministic source generate its own scale, transition, one-way characteristic surface, intrinsic dynamics, and radiative response? <br>We construct a scale-covariant two-state variational source possessing an exact stationary transition family. A conserved global source quantity lifts the dilation degeneracy and selects a finite radius \\(R_*\\). Pullback of the projected source metric onto the dilation orbit yields a finite source inertia only for an admissible parameter range, \\(\\lambda>9\/8\\), and generates an intrinsic mode with frequency \\(\\omega\\propto R_*^{-1}\\). A source-dependent coherence flow converts the stationary transition into a one-way characteristic surface, while conservative coupling to the outgoing characteristic channel allows relaxation of the source mode to generate exterior radiation without prescribing either an emitted waveform or phenomenological damping.<br>The coupled system is verified using conservative finite-volume evolution, boundary-accounted energy transport, retarded detector comparisons, spatial and outer-domain convergence, independent time- and frequency-domain pole extraction, and source-family robustness tests. For the canonical source, the converged dimensionless pole is<br>\\[<br>\\hat\\omega<br>\\simeq<br>0.894932<br>3.91\\times10^{-4}i.<br>\\]<br>A finite-energy, real-frequency retarded channel normalization partitions the corresponding source-mode loss into an outward fraction<br>\\[<br>f_{\\rm out}\\simeq0.537,<br>\\]<br>giving<br>\\[<br>C_{\\rm loss}\\simeq6.99\\times10^{-4},<br>\\qquad<br>C_{\\rm out}\\simeq3.75\\times10^{-4}.<br>\\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For fixed conservative source action, exact scale covariance then gives<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-math\"><math display=\"block\"><semantics><mrow><mi>E<\/mi><mo>\u221d<\/mo><msubsup><mi>R<\/mi><mo form=\"prefix\" stretchy=\"false\">\u2217<\/mo><mrow><mo lspace=\"0em\" rspace=\"0em\">\u2212<\/mo><mn>1<\/mn><\/mrow><\/msubsup><mo separator=\"true\">,<\/mo><mspace width=\"2em\"><\/mspace><msub><mi>P<\/mi><mrow><mtext><\/mtext><mi>out<\/mi><\/mrow><\/msub><mo>=<\/mo><msub><mi>C<\/mi><mrow><mtext><\/mtext><mi>out<\/mi><\/mrow><\/msub><mfrac><mrow><msub><mi class=\"mathcal\">\ud835\udcae<\/mi><mo>\u2217<\/mo><\/msub><msubsup><mi>c<\/mi><mi>q<\/mi><mn>2<\/mn><\/msubsup><\/mrow><msubsup><mi>R<\/mi><mo>\u2217<\/mo><mn>2<\/mn><\/msubsup><\/mfrac><mi>.<\/mi><\/mrow><annotation encoding=\"application\/x-tex\">E\\propto R_*^{-1}, \\qquad P_{\\rm out} = C_{\\rm out}\\frac{\\mathcal S_*c_q^2}{R_*^2}.<\/annotation><\/semantics><\/math><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The construction is not proposed as a microscopic model of an astrophysical black hole or as a derivation of Hawking radiation.

A scale-covariant two-state variational source possesses a continuous stationary family, and a conserved global source quantity selects a definite radius \\(R_*\\). The selected stationary source then determines both its intrinsic dilation dynamics and its source-dependent characteristic structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The resulting logical sequence is<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\\[<br>\\text{source}<br>\\rightarrow<br>R_*<br>\\rightarrow<br>\\text{stationary transition}<br>\\rightarrow<br>\\text{one-way characteristics}<br>\\rightarrow<br>\\]<br>\\[<br>\\rightarrow<br>\\text{intrinsic source mode}<br>\\rightarrow<br>\\text{radiative transport}.<br>\\]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The selected scale is therefore not imposed as a horizon location. The one-way characteristic surface, inverse-radius source clock, coupled complex pole, and exterior radiative response all arise downstream of the organized source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the canonical model, the converged source pole gives a total loss coefficient<br>\\[<br>C_{\\rm loss}\\simeq6.99\\times10^{-4},<br>\\]<br>while the finite-energy retarded channel calculation gives an outward fraction<br>\\[<br>f_{\\rm out}\\simeq0.537<br>\\]<br>and exterior coefficient<br>\\[<br>C_{\\rm out}\\simeq3.75\\times10^{-4}.<br>\\]<br>Across the tested source family, changes in source stiffness, flow law, and weak source-radiation coupling alter dimensionless coefficients while preserving the central source-first organization and scale-covariant structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Framework context:<\/em><br>The paper belongs to the Physics \/ Black Holes and Horizon Structure area of the Coherence Geometry research corpus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Within Coherence Geometry, observable structures are treated as projections of an underlying constrained source. HorizonSource provides a compact scientific example in which source organization, scale selection, intrinsic dynamics, characteristic propagation, diagnostics, and observable radiative projections can all be studied within one executable source model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The HorizonSource v0.9 package is intended to provide a reusable research implementation that can be inspected, modified, extended, and tested without reconstructing the source model from the paper alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Related Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related research:<\/strong><br>Petersen, B.
