LFM Public Experiments

Experimental validation of the Lattice Field Medium (LFM) substrate theory.

This repository contains reproducible experiments demonstrating that fundamental physics emerges from two simple wave equations:

The Governing Equations

GOV-01 (Wave dynamics):

∂²E/∂t² = c²∇²E − χ²E

GOV-02 (χ dynamics from energy):

∂²χ/∂t² = c²∇²χ − κ(E² − E₀²)

📖 See LFM_EQUATIONS.md for complete equation reference, numerical implementation details, and experiment rules.

Where:

  • E = Wave amplitude/energy field
  • χ = Local "mass" parameter (creates curvature)
  • χ₀ = 19 = Background χ (fundamental constant)
  • κ = 1/63 = Coupling constant (derived from lattice geometry)

Running Experiments

Each experiment:

  1. Uses ONLY GOV-01/02 (no external physics injected)
  2. Has explicit hypothesis framework (H₀ / H₁)
  3. Reports whether H₀ is REJECTED or NOT REJECTED
  4. Saves results to JSON
cd classical_mechanics
python lfm_projectile_motion.py

Beginner Start Here (/LFMPhysics Day 1)

Run the first physics-only substrate tutorial experiment:

  • gravity/lfm_foundation_1d_substrate.py

This script demonstrates three core LFM behaviors from GOV-01/GOV-02 only:

  1. Wave propagation in uniform χ background
  2. Propagation change across a high-χ barrier
  3. χ-well formation from localized energy via GOV-02 coupling

Experiment Naming Convention

Files follow: lfm_{phenomenon}_{detail}.py

Examples:

  • lfm_projectile_motion.py - Parabolic trajectory emergence
  • lfm_particle_in_box.py - Quantized energy levels
  • lfm_binary_merger.py - Black hole inspiral/merger/ringdown
  • lfm_qgp_phase_transition.py - Quark-gluon plasma

The Key Insight

χ₀ = 19 determines all of physics.

From this single integer:

  • Fine structure constant α = (χ₀-8)/(480π) → 1/137.088 (0.04% error)
  • Proton/electron mass ratio = (χ₀-8)³ + χ₀² + (χ₀-7)² = 1836 (0.008% error)
  • Strong coupling α_s = 2/(χ₀-2) = 0.1176 (0.25% error)
  • Number of gluons = χ₀ - 11 = 8 (EXACT)
  • Fermion generations = (χ₀-1)/6 = 3 (EXACT)
  • Dark energy fraction Ω_Λ = (χ₀-2D)/χ₀ = 13/19 = 0.6842 (0.12% error)
