In your model, what causes the plasma to gather to form a capacitance layer?

Cheers
Craig plasma makes up 99.99% of the universe by volume. It's everywhere we've sent probes. Ofcourse the pulsar has plasma all around it this is part of both models.

"in my model what causes the plasma to gather to form a capacitance layer"
No this is a property of double layers and plasma, to capacitive.

What causes the gathering? Again... this is a property of plasma and electric currents...

What causes the plasma to "gather" when you turn on a plasma ball?
(hint, happens when you plug it in)
