Does this mean anything? It looks like you just created a formula where the numbers happen to add up. Is there any more significance to this than 111 * 111 being equal to 12321?
albert_roca•1h ago
Valid question. The significance is that the 4^32 scaling factor emerged earlier in the model as a geometric constraint, and 4^64 appears in this equation, apparently because G is inversely proportional to the square of m_P. Hitting G within 8 ppm using a pre-existing constraint to link quantum constants with the proton mass is statistically extremely unlikely. I admit the precision was a surprise to me too, but the fact that it consistently reproduces Schwarzschild dynamics suggests it's not just a lucky number.
pavel_lishin•2m ago
There's more arbitrary numbers. Why is alpha divided by three? Why is the result incremented by one, and then squared?

Does any of it mean anything? You mentioned something about holography, but none of these numbers really imply anything about it.

And what are Schwarzschild dynamics in this context?

This sounds like salad.

al2o3cr•18m ago
Numerology and LLM slop. Meaningless.

Consider the "calculation" for ai_unified for an uncharged case:

     L_src = m hbar / (c*mp^2). 
     Expand and simplify and get L_src = m G / c^2

     L_lim = w * L_src = 2 m G / c^2. Also the value of rs.

     metric_factor is irrelevant, as both ai_gr and ai_unified are divided by it since L_lim = rs

     ai_unified = (c^2 * L_src) / (radius^2 * metric_factor). Expand L_src and get ai_unified = m G / (radius^2 * metric_factor)
This is IDENTICAL to the formula used for ai_gr when there is no charge. Presenting "0% difference" like it is a result is sloppy ignorant bullshitting at best and deliberate fraud at worst.
