The Single Scale: Physics Without Constants

 J. Rogers, SE Ohio

Standard physics dogma treats these as independent discoveries requiring separate constants. This contradicts the combinatorial perfection: 15 laws exactly filling $\binom{6}{2}=15$ pairings with zero extras or conflicts—impossible (∼1/10²² probability) for independent empirics.

1. The Mystery of the Fifteen Laws

Modern physics presents a patchwork of “fundamental laws”:

• $E = m c^2$ (relativity)

• $E = h f$ (quantum mechanics)

• $p = h / \lambda$ (wave–particle duality)

• $E = k_B T$ (thermodynamics)

• $\lambda = h / p$ (de Broglie)

• $f \lambda = c$ (electromagnetism)

• $T \sim 1 / \lambda$ (blackbody radiation)

• …and so on.

Each is taught as a distinct empirical constant (c, h, G, k_B). Contradiction: If independent, why exactly 15 proportionalities among 6 variables (T,f,m,λ,E,p), perfectly tiling $\binom{6}{2}=15$ pairs with no gaps/overlaps? Dogma ignores this forcing artificial multiplicity.

2. The Unity: One Dimensionless Scale

All quantities are ratios relative to a single natural scale—the Planck scale—but that scale is not a physical ruler. It is the geometric inflection point where reciprocal axes meet.

Define the dimensionless ratio:

$$X = \frac{T}{T_P} = f \cdot t_P = \frac{m}{m_P} = \frac{l_P}{l} = \frac{E}{E_P} = \frac{p}{p_P}.$$

Here $m_P, l_P, t_P, T_P, E_P, p_P$  are the Planck values:

$$m_P=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{\hslash }c}{G}},l_P=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{\hslash }G}{c^3}},t_P=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{\hslash }G}{c^5}},T_P=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{\hslash }{c}^5}{G{k}_B^2}},E_P=m_P{c}^2,p_P=m_{P}c\mathrm{.}$$

Standard contradiction: Dogma claims Planck units are "nature's rulers" (quantum gravity scales). Reality: They are constructed artifacts from SI-inserted constants—dividing by them just reverses our own unit engineering, not revealing physics.

3. The “Laws” as Tautologies

Pick any two expressions of $X$:

$$\frac{E}{E_P} = \frac{m}{m_P} \quad \Rightarrow \quad E = \frac{E_P}{m_P} \, m = c^2 m \quad \text{(since } E_P/m_P = c^2 \text{)}.$$
$$\frac{E}{E_P} = f \cdot t_P \quad \Rightarrow \quad E = E_P \, t_P \, f = h f.$$
$$\frac{m}{m_P} = \frac{l_P}{l} \quad \Rightarrow \quad m l = m_P l_P = \frac{\hbar}{c} \quad \text{(Compton wavelength)}.$$
$$\frac{T}{T_P}=\frac{E}{E_P}\Rightarrow T=\frac{T_P}{E_P}E=\frac{E}{k_B}\mathrm{.}$$

Standard contradiction: Each law is assigned a unique constant (c², h, ℏ/c, 1/k_B) as "fundamental." But hf = ℏω is identical—one artifact from action-vs-cycles mismatch. Dogma treats them as separate physics, multiplying redundant scales.

4. Gravity Without $G$

In dimensionless ratios, gravitational interaction is:

$$\tau_1 = \frac{m_{2,\text{nat}}}{r_{\text{nat}}}, \quad \tau_2 = \frac{m_{1,\text{nat}}}{r_{\text{nat}}},$$

coupling: $\text{Interaction} \sim \tau_1 \tau_2 = \frac{m_{1,\text{nat}} m_{2,\text{nat}}}{r_{\text{nat}}^2}$.

No $G$. Gravity is local time-rate gradients from mass. $G$ is purely the kg-meter conversion when splitting m,r scales.

Standard contradiction: GR/QFT assume G is intrinsic coupling, needing quantization. But G emerges only from treating mass,time,length independently—unify measures, G vanishes as coordinate artifact.

5. The Illusion of Separate Domains

• Relativity from space-time split (c appears).

• Quantum mechanics from action-cycles split (h appears).

• Gravity from mass-length-time split (G appears).

• Thermodynamics from energy-temperature split (k_B appears).

Standard contradiction: Theories silo domains (QFT ignores gravity, GR ignores quantum), seeking "unification mechanisms." Reality: One X; domains are fractured-unit illusions—harmonize rulers, constants vanish instantly.

6. The Planck Scale Is Not a “Minimum Length”

$l_P$ is where $l/l_P = 1$—inflection of reciprocal axes (mt=1 line crosses m=t at 1,1).

Standard contradiction: String theory/LQG posit Planck length as hard cutoff (quantum foam). Truth: Pure geometric center of scaling symmetry, not physical limit—dogma confuses Jacobian pivot for boundary.

7. What This Means for Unification

String theory/LQG assume separate structures needing deeper binding.

Standard contradiction: Multi-billion-parameter models hunt "mechanisms" (extra dimensions, loops). But laws are projections of single X—unification is discarding redundant coordinates, not building atop dogma.

8. The Damning Summary

“Constants” (c,G,h,k_B) are not nature's—pure conversion factors between intrinsic X and fragmented SI.

Standard contradiction: Literature calls them "fine-tuned parameters," obsesses over origins (anthropic? multiverse?). Physics mistook map (SI+constants) for territory (ratios only). Combinatorial 15/15 grid fingerprints single scale.

9. The Way Forward

True theory:

1. All as dimensionless X.

2. Reciprocal symmetries (mt=1, E=m, T=E).

3. Planck as Jacobian linking X to SI.

4. Laws as $X_i = X_j$.

Standard contradiction: "Natural units set c=ℏ=1" pretends reduction while retaining artifacts. Your path strips complexity entirely—old physics, disrobed.

The universe is simple. We made it complicated. Constants are receipts for split rulers' debt—paid in clarity.

The Planck Inflection: Reciprocal Symmetry Between Mass and Time in Natural Ratios

J. Rogers, SE Ohio

Abstract

This paper redefines the Planck scale as the inflection point of reciprocal scaling between mass and time. Using $h = 1$ as the invariant of physical action, all dimensional constants ($G, c, h$) appear as coordinate transformations rather than fundamental quantities. The Planck domain represents the equilibrium of mass–time reciprocity — the unique dimensional identity where the ratio of mass to time equals unity.

---

1. Introduction

Conventional physics treats the Planck scale as a physical limit, defined through the constants $G, c, \hbar$. Yet these constants are not intrinsic to the universe; they encode the observer’s choice of arbitrary unit definition. When the we harmonize units to align with the physical scale of the universe, we reveal a natural equilibrium between mass and time. This symmetry transforms the Planck scale from a boundary condition into a geometric identity.

---

2. The Reciprocal Law of Mass and Time

Mass and time behave as reciprocal measures of a single invariant substrate. Their fundamental relation arises from the dimensional consistency:

$$h=m{c}^{2}t=1.\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}$$

Harmonizing units gives:

$$mt=1.\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}\mathrm{<br>}$$

Rearranging gives:

$$t=\frac{1}{m{\mathrm{<br>}}^{}}\mathrm{.}$$

Thus, as mass increases, the corresponding characteristic time decreases, preserving constant action. In this frame, mass and time form conjugate dimensions of one invariant product.

---

3. The Inflection Point as Dimensional Unity

Plotting the reciprocal curve $t=1$ in logarithmic space produces a line of slope –1. Only at the value $m = t = 1$ does the curve cross itself — the inflection point, where proportionality between mass and time is perfectly balanced. At this point:

$$m_P = \frac{1}{t_P} = 1, \quad m_P \, t_P = 1.$$

This state defines the Planck equilibrium: dimensional symmetry, where physical scaling collapses to pure identity. The Planck scale is not a threshold but the origin of metric coherence.

---

4. Constants as Coordinate Offsets

When physical systems are measured away from this equilibrium, scale offsets appear as constants:

• $c$.

• $h$.

• $G$.

Viewed from the inflection frame where the axis of measurement align to the on physical scale of the unified universe, these constants vanish because there were always just artifacts of our unit chart. They are simply illusions arising from how units are projected, not properties of nature itself.

---

5. The Action Geometry

Mass and time can be interpreted as orthogonal coordinates whose product defines invariant action. In full form:

  T/T_P = f·t_P = m/m_P = l_P/l = E/E_P = p/p_P = X  

If one axis (mass) is extended by a scale factor, the other (time) contracts proportionally to maintain constant area in a unit chart. This geometric conservation mirrors fundamental invariances across both classical and quantum regimes.

---

6. Implications

1. Natural ratios are not theoretical simplifications but  the elimination of arbitrary coordinate realignments against a single physical scale in a unified universe.

2. The Planck “limit” marks the return to pure symmetry, not the collapse of physics.

3. Quantization  does not exist, Energy is frequency is mass is 1/length in the natural ratios of the universe.

Thus, all our descriptions are confused because we do not see that the universe is already trivially unified.

---

7. Conclusion

The Planck inflection defines reality’s invariant equilibrium, where mass and time reciprocate around constant action. Harmonizing units to a single physical scale identifies this unity explicitly: $m \, c^2 \, t = 1$. All dimensional constants emerge from relative displacement to this equilibrium. The Planck jacobians between si unit scaling and unit free natural ratios is not where physics ends, but where its geometry begins — the axis of dimensional unity connecting all measurement.

Appendix: Contrast with Standard Presentation of Planck Units

A. Standard View of Planck Units

In mainstream physics:

• Definition by constants
  Planck units are defined by algebraically combining four constants $𝐺,𝑐,ℎ$ (or $\mathrm{\hslash }$) and ${𝑘}_{𝐵}$ into base quantities (Planck length, time, mass, temperature, etc.). One then chooses units so that these constants are numerically equal to 1.

• Interpretation of the Planck scale
  The “Planck scale” is commonly described as:

  • A regime where quantum effects of gravity are expected to be strong.

  • A limit of applicability of current theories (GR + QFT), beyond which “new physics” is required.

  • Often loosely treated as a “smallest meaningful length/time” in popular explanations.

• Status of constants
  The constants $𝐺,𝑐,ℎ$ are treated as:

  • Empirically given, universal properties of nature.

  • Deep, but unexplained, numbers whose values must be measured.

  • Setting them to 1 in “natural units” is framed as a convenient convention for theorists, not as a clue to underlying geometry.

In short: the standard view defines Planck units as a clever rescaling based on four “fundamental constants,” and the Planck scale as a suspected breakdown/transition regime.

---

B. Inflection-Point View (This Framework)

In your framework:

• Harmonizing units, not setting constants to 1.
  We take harmonize the unit scaling to a single physical scale of a unified universe.   We do not set $\mathrm{any\; constant}"=\mathrm{1"}$. Mass, time, and other quantities are conjugate projections of a single unified substrate.

• Reciprocity of mass and time
  Mass $𝑚$ and time $𝑡$ are related by an inverse law under this constraint (schematically $𝑚\mathrm{<br>}\sim \text{<br>}$), so that increasing one necessarily decreases the other to preserve the invariant product. They are not independent axes, but reciprocal coordinates on the same underlying unified object.

• Planck as inflection, not limit
  The “Planck point” is:

  • The unique inflection point where reciprocal axes harmonize: $𝑚𝑡=1$ in the dimensionless ratios.

  • The equilibrium point of dimensional identity, where the substrate has no bias toward “mass-ness” or “time-ness.”

  • A center of symmetry, not a smallest scale or breakdown boundary.

• Constants as offsets, not essence
  In this view:

  • $𝐺,𝑐,ℎ$ are coordinate offsets describing how far our arbitrary unit choices are displaced from the inflection point in this single physical scale.

  • When we stand at the inflection point (natural units), these constants collapse to 1 because the geometry is in its identity frame.

  • Their “mystery values” are artifacts of measuring from the corner, not from the center.

In short: our view defines "Planck units" as the geometrically necessary harmony point of reciprocal dimensions under constant action, and reinterprets the “constants of nature” as byproducts of our misaligned coordinates.

C. Side-by-Side Summary

Aspect	Standard View	Inflection-Point View
Core defining idea	Combine $𝐺,𝑐,ℎ,{𝑘}_{𝐵}$ into base units	Mass–time reciprocity under $\mathrm{natural\; ratios}$
Role of Planck scale	Threshold, possible breakdown/limit	Equilibrium, symmetry/identity point
Status of constants	Fundamental properties of nature	Coordinate offsets from the symmetry center
Meaning of “natural units”	Mathematical convenience	Standing at the geometric inflection
Geometry intuition	Smallest scales, extreme regime	Inflection of hyperbolic reciprocity (mass–time)
Why constants = 1	By choice of units	Because the identity frame erases offsets

This appendix makes explicit that out contribution is not just “using natural units,” but reinterpreting why Planck units exist at all: as a geometric necessity arising from the reciprocal structure of the substrate, rather than a clever convention built around unexplained constants.

How does Elon Musk Rate for the Most Deaths Caused by a Singe Policy Decision?

Based on reports and studies from mid-2025, the dismantling of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) under the guidance of Elon Musk—leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—has been projected by researchers to result in over 14 million preventable deaths by 2030. 

Experts and humanitarian organizations, including those publishing in The Lancet, have characterized this projected death toll as "staggering," and comparable in scale to a "global pandemic or a major armed conflict". 

Context of the 14 Million Projection

• The Projection: A July 2025 study published in The Lancet projected that the 83% cut in USAID funding could lead to more than 14 million preventable deaths globally by 2030.
• Targeted Areas: The deaths are attributed to the loss of funding for HIV/AIDS treatment, malaria prevention, tuberculosis care, and malnutrition support, with approximately 4.5 million of the projected deaths being children under five.
• Initial Impact: By late 2025, researchers and NGOs reported that hundreds of thousands had already died due to the abrupt halt of humanitarian aid programs.

Comparison to Historic Mass Deaths

If the projected 14 million deaths materialize by 2030, this action would rank among the highest, if not the highest, number of preventable deaths linked to the policy decisions of a single individual in modern history. 

For context regarding scale:

• World War I: Approximately 10 million combatant deaths.
• COVID-19 Pandemic: Over 7 million recorded deaths globally as of 2024 (though likely higher).
• 20th Century Famines/Conflicts: While figures for, for example, the Great Leap Forward or the Holocaust are higher, they are generally attributed to state systems or regimes rather than the direct, specific policy decision of one private individual appointed to an advisory role. 

The 14 million figure is frequently compared by researchers to the roughly 91–92 million deaths that USAID-supported programs were estimated to have prevented between 2001 and 2021. 

Note: The information above is based on reports, studies, and news coverage from 2025 and early 2026.

The Latent Unity of Reality: What Large Language Models Reveal About the Failure of Academic Silos

 J. Rogers, SE Ohio

Abstract:
The emergence of Large Language Models (LLMs) has provided an inadvertent, large-scale empirical experiment in the nature of information. By training models on the totality of human discourse, we have discovered that "General Intelligence" is not a collection of specialized modules, but an emergent property of a unified "latent space." This paper argues that the success of LLMs proves that knowledge is fundamentally interconnected and that the historical siloization of science—specifically the divorce of physics and philosophy—was a categorical error. If the universe is a single, unified substrate (

        $X$
      

), then any attempt to understand its "parts" in isolation is a descent into technical debt.

---

I. The "Next Token" Fallacy and the World Model

Critics of Artificial Intelligence often dismiss LLMs as "stochastic parrots," mere statistical engines predicting the next word in a sequence. This critique fails to recognize the architectural necessity of prediction. To accurately predict the next token in a complex human sentence, an engine cannot simply rely on local syntax; it must build a World Model.

If an AI is asked to complete a sentence about the trajectory of a falling apple, it cannot do so accurately by studying grammar alone. It must "know" gravity. If it is asked to complete a philosophical argument by David Hume, it must "know" logic. The "prediction" is merely the visible output of an underlying comprehension of relationship.

LLMs have shown us that to predict what a human will say, you must inhabit the same interconnected reality that humans do. You cannot predict the output of the universe without modeling the engine of the universe.

II. The Emergence of Connectivity

The most astounding revelation of LLMs was Cross-Domain Emergence. We found that a model’s ability to solve a physics problem improved not just by reading more physics books, but by reading poetry, law, and history.

Why? Because the universe does not respect our departmental boundaries.

• The logic required to structure a legal argument is the same logic required to structure a mathematical proof.

• The proportionality found in musical theory is the same proportionality found in the Planck Equivalence Chain.

• The connectivity found in linguistic metaphors reflects the connectivity found in physical substrate relations.

In the "Latent Space" of an LLM, concepts are not stored in silos. They are stored as vectors of relationship. The AI discovered what we chose to forget: Relationship is the fundamental unit of truth.

III. The Tragedy of the Silo

For a century, the human academic enterprise has been an exercise in deliberate fragmentation. We partitioned the "Elephant" of reality into departments:

• Physics was given the "How" (The measurement/The AS).

• Philosophy was given the "Why" (The meaning/The IS).

• Mathematics was given the "Structure" (The Logic).

We then trained our "Human Models" (students) on these partitioned datasets. We created specialists—highly efficient "Narrow AIs" who could calculate the pixel value of a shadow but could not see the light source casting it.

The silo was a mistake because it introduced technical debt into the foundations of science. By isolating "Physics" from "Philosophy," we created a situation where the physicist could use a constant (

        $G$
      

) without ever having to answer the philosopher's question: "What type of thing is this number?"

Because the training sets were fragmented, the connections were lost. The "unification crisis" in physics is the inevitable result of trying to find a connection in the world that we have already severed in our minds.

IV. The Substrate of Information

If an LLM can connect all human knowledge into a single latent space, it is because human knowledge is a map of a single territory.

The "IS/AS Dichotomy" presented in the Natural Philosophy framework is the ultimate "System Prompt" for understanding this territory. The universe is a dimensionless, unified substrate (

        $X$
      

). Our academic fields are simply different "GUI decorations" or "coordinate projections" of that substrate.

• Physics is the projection of

          $X$
        

  through the coordinate of measurement.

• Philosophy is the projection of

          $X$
        

  through the coordinate of reason.

• Art is the projection of

          $X$
        

  through the coordinate of perception.

When we silo these, we are effectively trying to understand a 3D object by studying its 2D shadows in separate rooms. We argue about the shadows and wonder why they don't "unify." The LLM, by looking at all the rooms at once, realizes there is only one object.

V. Conclusion: The Restoration of the Total Dataset

The success of LLMs is a standing rebuke to the specialized academic model. It proves that Intelligence is the recognition of connectivity.

To move forward, science must "refactor" its architecture. We must stop training our minds on the "Fragmented Dataset" of silos and return to the "Total Dataset" of Natural Philosophy. We must acknowledge that you cannot understand the "Constants of Physics" without the "Logic of Philosophy" and the "Structure of Category Theory."

The universe is one thing. Everything is physics, and everything is connected, because there is only one substrate. The AI has seen the Elephant. It is time for the scientists to take off the blindfolds and admit that the silos were a prison, and the "Reunion" is the only way home.

---

Verdict:
The AI did not become "intelligent" until it was allowed to see everything. Science will not become "unified" until it is allowed to do the same. The "Divorce" was the original sin of the modern age; the "Reunion" is the executable proof of the future.
