In QFD, this depth is not arbitrary but derived from vacuum energy scales. ## Key Result **Theorem**: V₄ = λ/(2β²) where: - lam ≈ m_p = 938 MeV (vacuum stiffness scale) - beta ≈ 3.043 (vacuum bulk modulus, derived from α) ## Numerical Validation Theoretical: V₄ = 938/(2×9.35) = 50.16 MeV Empirical: V₄ ≈ 50 MeV Error: < 1% ## References - Analytical derivation: V4_NUCLEAR_DERIVATION.md - Vacuum stiffness: projects/Lean4/QFD/Nuclear/VacuumStiffness.lean - Beta parameter: projects/Lean4/QFD/Vacuum/VacuumParameters.lean -/ import QFD.Vacuum.VacuumParameters import Mathlib.Data.Real.Basic import Mathlib.Tactic.Linarith import Mathlib.Tactic.NormNum noncomputable section namespace QFD.Nuclear open QFD.Vacuum open Real /-! ## Nuclear Well Depth -/ /-- Nuclear potential well depth (MeV) Physical interpretation: The depth of the attractive potential between nucleons.
