In the arena of fundamental physics—especially quantum gravity, unification, and explaining the origins of dimensionless constants like —the Inverse Scaling Law (ISL) framework offers a decisive alternative to institutional paradigms.
The Anti-Landscape Paradigm
The most significant obstacle in modern theoretical physics is the Landscape Problem. String Theory, while mathematically rich, predicts a landscape of possible vacua. This has led to the “Anthropic Principle”—the idea that we just happen to live in a universe with these specific numbers because others wouldn’t support life.
ISL rejects the landscape by design.
We derive the fundamental constants of nature—specifically the Fine Structure Constant ()—from a parameter-free geometric 5D projection. Stability in our framework is not a “lucky break”; it is a mandatory consequence of the resource-bounded kernel (
).
Comparative Analysis: The Competition
| Approach | Methodology | The ISL Edge |
| :— | :— | :— |
| String Theory | Extra dimensions & vibrating strings | Predictivity. We derive uniquely without scanning
vacua. |
| Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) | Quantizing spacetime geometry | Completeness. We derive QM foundations and particle constants, not just gravity. |
| Emergent Gravity | Gravity as an entropic force | Precision. ISL formalizes the “Scaling Law” that governs the entropy gradient. |
| Standard Model | Semi-classical fields | Integration. We explain the “why” behind the numbers the Standard Model assumes. |
Strategy for 2026
As we move toward formal publication, our messaging is direct: The universe is not an unbounded playground; it is a resource-constrained kernel.
By treating Time as a synchronization latency and Matter as modular payload, we provide a path to unification that is both mathematically rigid and experimentally falsifiable. We do not need universes to explain this one. We only need the Inverse Scaling Law.
