If you love physics: Alpha constant is unlocked today; prepare for goosebumps

Feynman’s test for any “new theory”: can you calculate the fine-structure constant?

That became my one-bit test. Re-deriving SR/GR or the lepton g-factor might be cool, but it takes years for anyone to engage. so I started with the flag almost everyone respects: the alpha - fine structure constant.

How close does it come to the CODATA last measured value? Even 1% approach would be a big breakthrough in physics, but surprise! EXACT MATCH sub-ppt level.

Today I can tell you that Alpha is emergent from a geometric constraint on wavefunction evolution. No fits, no tunable parameters, no h,c,e, or any other constant and the precision is unbelievable. It follows from 3 ingredients:

1. Classical dynamics, 2. The standard Schrodinger equation, 3. The Relator postulate Rω = c -- i.e., the wavefunction evolutions in spatial (our 3-dimensional space) and an internal generator space (C-space).

If you do give it a spin and the script reproduces Alpha on your machine, the links below walk through the core mechanism and outputs of this framework, answering the century's biggest problems. the first 3 pieces are deliberately written so a motivated final-year high-school physics student can follow them. It’s honestly hard to be easy-undrestandable than burying the idea under heavy formalism. so you might enjoy them today:

* Rω = c — emergence of SR/GR (no 4D spacetime; standard Schrodinger + classical physics): https://zenodo.org/records/16779813

* Plato’s Quantum Cave — the why behind shared-Hamiltonian / entanglement: https://zenodo.org/records/16779805

* Measurement as Quantum Bifurcation: https://zenodo.org/records/16779903 (I like this one even more than the emergent-alpha result or reproducing GR phenomena without GR formalism in the main Relator paper.)

* Lepton g-factor without QED: https://zenodo.org/records/16810381

Tear it down, replicate it, critique it. If you spot a flaw, please point to the exact step/equation; that’s the fastest path to truth. PRL version will be submitted next week.
