Abstract

We investigate the leading near-horizon response of Blandford-Znajek energy extraction to a compact, neutral spin-polarized source within minimally coupled Einstein-Cartan-Dirac-Maxwell theory. Eliminating the algebraic contortion yields an effective axial contact interaction, which we embed into a conserved, anisotropic phenomenological completion. Working at leading order in the torsion parameter εT, spatial anisotropy ξ, and slow rotation χ=a/M on the fixed-ADM branch, we derive the modified energy extraction rate at optimal load. We find that the leading-order power ratio P BZ EC/P BZ K receives distinct contributions from rotational dragging (=1) and magnetostatic flux redistribution (=2). In the isotropic limit (ξ=0), the power is enhanced for a co-rotating completion and suppressed for a counter-rotating one, whereas for ξ≠0 the net shift depends on the polar quadrupole response. We also formulate the generalized Znajek identity and linearized Grad--Shafranov framework, demonstrating that undetermined load-factor shifts leave the leading power coefficient invariant due to stationarity at the matched load point.
