Open Source Physics

Application procedure

The standard application procedure documented in the repository is as follows:

1. Retrieve the eight universal constants from rxiVerse:2602.0018 (public, no login required, no cost)
2. Select a domain and retrieve the relevant federal public dataset from its statutory access location (all listed in the Federal Dataset Register below)
3. Apply the SVCF master equation and the appropriate constant formula to the domain
4. Compute the predicted value and compare against the measured value using a standard residual or χ² test
5. If the prediction matches, apply the same constants — without adjustment — to a second domain using a different dataset

The critical test is whether constants derived in one domain successfully predict outcomes in an independent domain. The repository reports this test passes across all 46 documented domains. No constant is adjusted between domains.

What the framework produces

Applied to a given domain, the framework produces one of three types of output:

• A numerical prediction — a specific value derived from the master equation and constants, compared against a measured quantity (e.g., mass, velocity, energy, length, time)
• A mechanism identification — the physical process within the substrate framework that produces the observed phenomenon (e.g., the substrate dissipation mechanism producing solar coronal heating)
• A forward prediction — a specific numerical outcome logged before a confirming measurement is published, verifiable against the timestamp record

In all cases, the output is data-checkable against a publicly accessible government-funded dataset.

The master equation

The governing equation of the SVCF framework is:

${\displaystyle \nabla \cdot \mathbf {\Pi } +D[\chi ]=0}$

where Π is the substrate stress tensor defined on a 37-dimensional manifold termed the Rheoviscion and D[χ] is the dissipation operator applied to the substrate field χ. This single equation, applied with the eight universal constants, governs all 46 documented domains. The framework identifies this as scale-invariant: the same equation and constants apply from nuclear scales to cosmological scales without modification.

The eight universal constants

All eight constants are documented as derived — not fitted — from single independent measurements. Once derived, each is applied unchanged to all domains. The system is described as overconstrained: because each constant appears in multiple independent domains, adjusting any constant to fit one domain simultaneously falsifies all other domains governed by that constant.

Law #1: Universal Viscous Luminosity Law

${\displaystyle L\propto M^{65/66}}$

The Universal Viscous Luminosity Law (UVLL) states that all self-gravitating, viscosity-dominated radiating bodies obey this luminosity–mass relation, where the exponent β = 65/66 = (B + 1)/2 is derived from the bulk saturation constant B = 32/33. The law is documented in AAS submission 74728.

The repository documents this scaling across:

• Brown dwarfs: Filippazzo et al. 2015, 127 objects, β_observed = 0.97 ± 0.04^[8]
• X-ray binary Cygnus X-1: Prabu et al. 2026, Nature Astronomy, β and jet efficiency ε = 0.10, v_jet = 0.5c confirmed (Confirmation C11, 0.0σ)^[9]
• Supermassive black hole accretion (D31): Yu et al. 2025, five simultaneous observational constraints at 0.07 dex RMS

Law #2: The Chirality Tax

${\displaystyle \varepsilon =\alpha ^{2}}$

The Chirality Tax law states that the mandatory energy fraction diverted to substrate chiral modes per interaction involving vortex winding topology equals the square of the fine-structure constant. The numerical value is ε = α² = 5.3251 × 10⁻⁵. The law is documented in AAS submission 74776.

The repository documents this constant against the following independent measurements:

• CP violation phase in neutrino oscillations: sin(δ_CP) = −31/33 = −0.9394; measured −0.902 ± 0.058 (T2K + NOvA 2023), 0.63σ agreement
• Biological homochirality: 89.1% L-amino acid preference; confirmed Hebrew University/Weizmann Institute 2026 at 0.4% residual
• CMB birefringence polarization rotation: ~0.3°, consistent with ε accumulated over cosmological path length
• Muon anomalous magnetic moment: Standard Model (= substrate vortex sector) confirmed at 0.5σ by Fodor et al. 2026^[10]
