THE RESEARCH NOTEBOOK

Ideas open to examination.

The questions are large. The claims should be precise. Explore the author’s research, the assumptions behind it, and what remains to be established.

A STANDARD, NOT AN EXCEPTION

The author’s ideas face the same question as any other claim: what does the evidence actually support?

How we handle evidence

01 / THE BOOK’S RECORD

One book. A fixed starting point.

God Plays Dice introduces a working hypothesis: our hot, dense cosmic beginning may have been the local aftermath of an energetic event in a larger, higher-dimensional setting.

That is the proposed idea. The book’s calibrated benchmark is distinct from later research, and fitting existing data does not by itself establish a successful prediction.

Research snapshot

These are summaries of the author’s selected public records, reviewed on the date above. They describe proposed research and conditional results. They are not a live feed of the newest releases.

A bright white burst at the left edge opens into a wide, trumpet-shaped grid that stretches to the right across a black background. Near the narrow end is a blue-green oval disc, followed by scattered stars and galaxies. Labels read Quantum Fluctuations, Inflation, Afterglow Light Pattern 375,000 yrs., Dark Ages, 1st Stars about 400 million yrs., Development of Galaxies, Planets, etc., and Dark Energy Accelerated Expansion. A small WMAP spacecraft sits at the right, and a bar along the bottom reads Big Bang Expansion, 13.77 billion years.

Cosmic origins Author’s research

Could our hot beginning be the aftermath of something larger?

Within a specified model, two inputs produce mathematically distinguishable responses. That conditional result does not establish a cosmic explosion, a physical energy source, or agreement with observations.

What the record supports—and leaves open

The author’s v24 publication reports an error-controlled response calculation inside a specified fixed-background, linear five-field model. A positive determinant enclosure establishes rank two under the inherited model, background-root, Green/source and stability premises. In plain language, two registered inputs produce mathematically distinguishable responses within those assumptions. This is a conditional mathematical result, not an observed cosmological signal or evidence that a higher-dimensional event caused the Big Bang. Physical source energy, detector noise normalization, an independent forward error enclosure, nonlinear persistence and agreement with cosmological observations remain open. The public release reports reproducibility checks, not independent external peer review. It is later research, distinct from the book’s frozen calibrated benchmark.

Unification Author’s research

Can one framework connect the forces of nature?

The record preserves results for a restricted mathematical kernel and corrects an earlier claim about a quantum calculation. A completed physical theory remains open.

What the record supports—and leaves open

This publication retains exact mathematical identities for a restricted neutrino tree-level kernel: its expansion, remainder, known-node reconstruction and approximation-error bounds. It corrects an earlier claim about a dimension-seven quantum loop calculation. The proposed cancellation remains conditional algebra; the loop coefficient and completed loop derivation are not established. Correct tree identities do not complete a physical Theory of Everything. The full operator reduction, quantum matching and connection to independently validated physical observables remain open. Replaying the supplied calculations establishes their stated computational scope, not experimental confirmation or independent expert peer review. This current correction must qualify older claims in historical archives.

Black holes Author’s research

Could a black hole reveal more than its mass and spin?

A methods release explores how a proposed horizon response could be tested. Its archived calculations do not establish a detected effect at a black-hole horizon.

What the record supports—and leaves open

This methods release studies how a proposed black-hole horizon-response model might be tested through gravitational-wave ringdown. A fixed-conditioning archived calculation reproduces a reference grid, but changing a released parameter row changes the best-fitting damping. Statistical results explain why a finite measurement cannot uniformly separate one exact value from arbitrarily close alternatives under the stated continuity condition; meaningful comparisons need specified separation, intervals or a defined Bayesian procedure. These are conditional analysis and design results, not measured quantum structure at a horizon. Full observable information, joint inference, noise and calibration uncertainty, and full-search null calibration remain unresolved. The release does not claim detection of the HRF effect and is not an official LIGO/Virgo/KAGRA product.

Dark matter & energy Author’s research

What could the dark side of the universe be made of?

The release repairs a validation procedure for early-universe calculations. Complete transport and light-element predictions are still missing.

What the record supports—and leaves open

The author’s DMDE working hypothesis is being tested through two fixed particle-injection scenarios and their possible effects on early-universe light-element formation. Version 0.9.20 repairs a demonstrated synthetic false pass by checking all five exported weak-reaction histories, including previously omitted capture channels. It adds source and numerical-precision checks for a controlled differential-response experiment. This improves the validation procedure; it does not produce the missing complete transport and nucleosynthesis results. The release contains no production helium, deuterium or effective-neutrino-number prediction. A passing validator cannot prove all relevant physics is included or independently establish what dark matter or dark energy are. Independent replay and physical review remain needed.

Causality & light Author’s research

How would we test a claim about faster-than-light physics?

This is a procedure for testing hypothetical hidden sectors. Synthetic tests are not evidence of faster-than-light travel or signalling.

What the record supports—and leaves open

This FTL-only Einstein Audit release defines a strict procedure for testing proposed hidden sectors against causality, cosmic energy, pulsar-timing and ringdown consistency. It freezes required posterior-data inputs, validation gates and the conditional reporting procedure. Synthetic tests show that the procedure can execute; they do not show that faster-than-light physics occurs in nature. The strict real-data path remains dependent on suitable validated observational inputs. The release supplies neither strict real-data A2 posterior results nor evidence for faster-than-light travel or signalling. It is a methods and tooling publication, not a spacecraft design or a discovery that removes the ordinary relativistic speed limit.

Matter & antimatter Author’s research

Why did matter survive the early universe?

The work explores whether interacting fields could help create an early matter excess. Energy limits and an unfinished mechanism remain central obstacles.

What the record supports—and leaves open

This theoretical checkpoint asks whether interacting fields could help produce early-universe matter asymmetry. An audited mathematical route fails the specified model’s gauge-symmetry requirement. A separate extra-dimensional Wilson-line construction reproduces a desired scale conditionally, but its complete interactions and cosmological history remain unfinished. At the inherited benchmark, required field motion exceeds the stated source budget; lower response efficiency increases that energy demand. Version 1.23.1 derives necessary efficiency-dependent bounds, not a realizable dynamical mechanism. It does not compute the observed matter excess or establish CP violation, transport and washout, relic safety or domain-wall consistency. Reproduced tables are computational checks, not independent physical validation.

Evolution Author’s research

Could mutation patterns be more predictable than they look?

An analysis and validation workflow studies proposed patterns in mutation routes. It does not establish a new evolutionary law or replace natural selection.

What the record supports—and leaves open

TMD studies mutation-route winner counts, proposed route biases, competing mechanistic explanations and the role of context. Version 2.6.4 supplies an analysis-only campaign and external-result validation workflow, including prerequisite checks, result intake, replay ledgers and verification. These tools help make a proposed biological test reproducible and inspectable. Passing software checks does not establish that the proposed pattern occurs in nature. The publication explicitly claims no new wet-lab experimental validation beyond its included benchmark, unit-test, smoke-test and example transitions. It neither establishes a universal new law of evolution nor replaces established evolutionary biology; appropriate external biological tests are still needed.
