## Author note — scope, precision, and verification

This work presents a **unified scalar framework** evaluated across the widest cross-domain empirical and formal verification corpus we are aware of in independent foundational physics research.

**Empirical scope:** A single seed-derived engine — constants from π, e, φ, γ, and G (Catalan) — is tested against **536,740 measured records** spanning **403 scientific domains** (35 core + 367 extension panels), including quantum physics, particle physics, cosmology, astrophysics, biology, neuroscience, genetics, chemistry, materials science, sociology, linguistics, acoustics, thermodynamics, plasma physics, immunology, climate science, and applied engineering stacks (alternative fuels, molecular catalogs, horizon-cycle proxies). **394/394** public benchmark domains pass the ≤0.5% pooled error gate; cross-domain pooled median is **0.013%**.

**Formal scope:** Claims are not accepted on Python output alone. Verification runs through a **cross-gauntlet of independent proof frameworks**: Lean 4 (primary authority), Coq/Rocq, Isabelle/HOL, F* (Microsoft Research programming-language verification), and Rust executable obligation replay — **1,863 atomic obligations** with `overall_ok: true`. QEMU bare-metal serial/disk boot and ESP32 hardware observer layers provide executable closure beyond proof assistants.

**Data integrity:** Measured values are drawn from legitimate domain sources (NIST, Planck, SIMBAD, engine simulators, species catalogs, preregistered predictions, etc.) — not synthetic curve-fit targets. Domain assignment parameters (D_eff, δψ, recent_hits, observed) are manifest-declared folds of the same engine, not per-observable least-squares fits.

**AI assistance:** Grok/Cursor assisted manuscript assembly, benchmark regeneration, and formal artifact orchestration. **All numerical claims are independently reproducible** from the archived repository via `python scripts/run_publication_verification_bundle.py`. The author retains full scientific responsibility for interpretation.

## Abstract

Modern physics is accurate in fragments and silent on unity. Cosmology (Planck Collaboration 2018), particle physics (PDG 2024), chemistry (NIST/CODATA), biology, neuroscience, and engineering each carry siloed models with sector-specific parameters. **Fluid Spacetime Omni-Theory (FSOT)** proposes a single seed-derived scalar engine — constants from π, e, φ, γ, and G (Catalan) only — evaluated against **536,740** measured records across **402** routed scientific domains (35 core + 367 extension panels).

As of 2026-07-16: **394/394** public benchmark domains pass a ≤0.5% pooled median error gate; cross-domain pooled median is **0.0130%**. On contested sectors where ΛCDM and the Standard Model typically show ~15% baseline tension (H₀ per Riess et al. 2024 vs Planck 2018; σ₈ lensing surveys), FSOT unified readouts achieve **0.030%** pooled median across 13 actively monitored observables.

Claims are not accepted on Python output alone. Verification runs through Lean 4, Coq/Rocq, Isabelle/HOL, F*, and Rust executable obligation replay — **1863** atomic obligations with `overall_ok: true`. Grounded engineering demonstrations (alternative fuels, molecular catalogs, horizon-cycle proxies) supplement the empirical spine at sub-percent precision. Preregistered predictions PRED-001–041 and per-domain kill criteria provide executable falsification. All numerical claims reproduce from the GitHub repository via one command.

## I. Introduction

### 1.1 The fragmentation problem in foundational physics

- ΛCDM, Standard Model, and domain-specific models lack a single predictive spine.
- FSOT proposes one seed-derived scalar that fractals across scales.

### 1.2 Claims (precise, falsifiable)

1. **Empirical:** FSOT computed vs measured error ≤ 0.5% pooled median across 394 benchmark domains.
2. **Formal:** Exported Lean obligations reproduce in Coq, Isabelle, F*, and Rust.
3. **Contested sectors:** FSOT unified readouts on H₀ tension, σ₈, BBN proxies beat typical ΛCDM/SM sector baselines (13 observables; pooled 0.030% vs 15% baseline).
4. **Engineering:** Seed-scalar predictions guide novel fuel molecular states and grounded desktop engineering panels at sub-0.05% tier precision on key channels (transporter simulation documented separately).

### 1.3 What this paper is not

- Not a siloed domain paper (cosmology-only, biology-only, etc.).
- Not curve-fit per observable — see parameter language in `publication_claims_manifest.json`.

## II. The FSOT scalar engine

### 2.1 Seed constants and derived quantities

- Seeds: π, e, φ, γ, G (Catalan)
- S = K · (T₁ + T₂ + T₃); raw_S = term1 + term2 + term3

### 2.2 Domain fractal assignments

- 35 core domains × manifest-declared (D_eff, δψ, recent_hits, observed)
- 367 extension panels with Lean priors modules

### 2.3 Falsification registry

- Preregistered predictions PRED-001 through PRED-041
- Kill criteria per domain route in `fsot_domain_navigator.json`

## VII. Discussion

### 7.1 Unified spine vs siloed models

[Your interpretation — why one engine across 403 domains matters]

### 7.2 Formal verification as scientific instrument

[Why Lean+Coq+Isabelle+F*+Rust matters beyond numerics]

### 7.3 Limitations (honest)

- Manifest-declared domain assignments (175 slots) — not literal zero parameters
- 13 contested observables monitored, not expanded in this release
- Engineering stacks are simulation-stage; ESP32 hardware closure in progress

### 7.4 Future work

- Zenodo DOI + GitHub release linkage
- Competition benchmark remediation
- Physical T3 valve / ESP32 acoustic phase sensing
