For over 5,000 years, wheels and tyres have powered human mobility—but nature has never adopted them. This paper explores why rotational, surface-dependent transport is fundamentally incompatible with space and cosmic environments. Drawing on evolutionary logic, engineering constraints, and aerospace research, it argues that wheel-based and rocket-based systems cannot scale to interstellar travel.
Introducing Nature-Aligned Mobility (NAM), the paper proposes a new conceptual framework inspired by biological locomotion, field-based dynamics, and non-rotational movement. NAM reframes mobility as a universal, nature-compatible phenomenon, offering an early foundation for rethinking propulsion beyond mechanically constrained paradigms.
