The more I think about it the more I am sure my theory for the solar dynamo and sunspots is correct.
The instability causes magnetic lines to twist like in a rope, and in doing so generates magnetic energy for the dynamo. Similarly for when the magnetic lines unravel.
The instability also generates an outward radial force that will push up towards the surface anything above the vortices that fail to be generated. This force transmits through the convection zone and pushes some cells in the chromosphere towards the surface through the transition zone into the corona where the cooler cells from the chromosphere appear as black sunspots compared to the hotter cells in the corona. The tansition zone is so thin that cells from the chromosphere do not have time to warm up as they are pushed through the transition zone by the outward radial force generated by the instability.
This force also pushes magnetic lines upwards out of the sunspots. Most of these magnetic lines do not snap so return into the sun through a paired sunspot.
And the sunspots appear and rotate in the directions the vortices rotate.
It's not slam dunk by any means. A lot of mathematics and physics and CFD simulations need to be performed to prove this as some kind of unified theory for the sun.
But it's well on the way.
