COMMENTS

This transition matrix was solved for by linear algebra

and would actually be made up of up to three elementary reaction transitions in the transmutation that happens in nuclear piles.

If the element X(8452, 22082) existed in supernovas and the resulting neutron stars, it might well be a type of "dark matter"?

The mass is about 4*10^(-20) grams and is near modern estimates of the Higgs particle mass.

FORMULA

M0 = {{-144, 92}, {1, 92}}; v[0]={92,238}; v[n]=M0^n.v[0]; a[n]_out=Round[v[n]/92].

MATHEMATICA

M0 = {{-144, 92}, {1, 92}}; v[0] = {92, 238}; v[n_] := v[n] = M0.v[n - 1]; Table[Round[v[n]/92], {n, 0, 10}]; Flatten[%]
