Results: anchors, eliminated readings, predictions
Internal checks of the model and comparisons with established measurements.
In short. The counting rule of the model is internally consistent; the working table, the hand drawings and the pole tree were checked line by line. The atom is the bridge centre of the model: the measured proton/electron ratio sets the model's clock (11.25 G₇ fillings ≈ 4.7 × 10¹⁹ breaths). Three mappings match measurement exactly and are anchors of the model. Two readings were eliminated. The model's first dated prediction is that the eighth row of the periodic table does not fill.
Anchors
| Anchor | Model | Measurement | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Proton / electron (rule 20) | accumulation time of the nucleus | 1 836.15 | sets the clock |
| Hydrogen light (rule 32) | binding energy ∝ 1 / k²: ratios 5.400 and 2.857 | Lyman α / Balmer α = 5.400; Balmer α / Paschen α = 2.857 | exact |
| Genetic code (rule 33) | step 4: 4, 4³ = 64, (4³ − 4)/3 = 20 | 4 letters, 64 codons, 20 amino acids | exact |
| Strong interaction (rule 34) | 14 poles = 8 intermediate + 6 main; intermediate value 3 | 8 gluons, 6 quark flavours, 3 colours | exact |
Eliminated readings
| Reading | Measurement | Why eliminated | Replaced by |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single-exponent expansion (scale ∝ t²) | supernova distances: exponent 1.40 ± 0.05 | none of the allowed exponents (2/3, 2) | two-front reading (under test) |
| Light energy from the age of pairs | hydrogen: inner transitions are larger | the model gives larger outer transitions | binding energy of a layer (rule 32, matches) |
| Binding energy from layer size (radius, pole count, constant) | the two hydrogen ratios | ratios grow outwards or stay constant | order² of the layer (rule 32) |
Internal checks
The counting rule is internally consistent: in all 114 steps of the working table the incoming energy equals the newborn pairs plus the feeding of earlier pairs. The feeding of the first sky layer follows a single rule (896 = 112 + 784), the rule of the constants column was found, and the pole tree matches the expansion map exactly. Every matching and eliminated comparison was recomputed independently with separate code.
Predictions to be decided by measurement
- The eighth row of the periodic table does not fill (rule 21).
- The proton/electron ratio grows very slowly; a measurably different value in distant galaxies would refute the reading.
- The smallest pairs never decay by any channel.
- Next steps of the atom bridge: ionisation energy / first transition = 4/3; shell capacities 2, 8, 18, 32; colour-factor ratio 9/4; 7 crystal systems and 14 Bravais lattices; distribution of codons.
