What if black holes don't form event horizons?

New work shows collapse can halt at C_max = 0.85 < 1 through
fundamental irreversibility—extending GR with dissipation.

Key results:
- No trapped surfaces form
- Singularities avoided
- Information preserved
- Mechanism: p_I ~ -ρ² reverses collapse

Rigorous critique especially appreciated—that's how science advances.
