Volume Particle Theory (VP) Whitepaper v2.0

A LOCK→Derive→Gate framework for jamming‑lattice physics with DOI‑anchored reproducibility (whitepaper PDF + validated bundle).

VP theory jamming lattice discrete geometry LOCK→Derive→Gate reproducibility percolation SOC blackbody fine‑structure constant

Overview

This project publishes a long‑form whitepaper (hundreds of pages) and a validated reproducibility bundle. The goal of this landing page is not to duplicate the full text, but to provide a machine‑readable index: what the document contains, how it is structured, and how results are reproduced via DOI‑anchored artifacts.

Core statement: VP models vacuum/space as a jammed lattice of discrete volume units. Observed “softness” or “fluidity” is treated as a rate of structural failure (unjamming events) rather than an intrinsic softness of the underlying units.

What is inside the whitepaper

High‑level map (readers can jump by intent):

  • Axioms & definitions: notation, locked inputs, and the meaning of “jamming/rigidity”.
  • Derivations: geometry‑driven derivations under the one‑way rule (LOCK→Derive→Gate).
  • Gate layer: PASS/FAIL/INCONCLUSIVE qualification and how claims are restricted.
  • Reproducibility bundle: manifests + checksums + DOI‑anchored citation registry.
  • Appendices: validation modules and engineering‑motivated appendices.

Key modules (examples)

  • Fluidity as failure rate (φ): a protocol‑locked definition based on unjamming event counting.
  • SOC percolation/pinning: reproducibility artifacts include rerun datasets (e.g., N=750 seeds).
  • Blackbody / radiation: a locked derivation chain and qualification gates.
  • Acoustic calibration (Appendix K): classical isomorphism used as a calibration test (not an analogy).
  • 4‑3‑1 state dictionary (Appendix L): interpretive state map (NON‑LOCK) that avoids symbol collisions.
  • Black‑Copper ESS (Appendix J): an engineering appendix included as a derived application layer.
