Unification Registry Predictions Proved

Calculated proofs

The module RegistryPredictionsProved is a machine-checked library of formal theorems. It takes two predictions from the COMPLETE_PROBLEM_REGISTRY and supplies them with rigorous, verifiable numerical bounds. The first concerns the cosmological constant Λ, the energy density of empty space that drives the accelerated expansion of the universe. The second concerns the fermion mass hierarchy, the vast spread of masses among elementary particles.

For the cosmological constant, the library proves that the density parameter Ω_Λ, the ratio of this energy density to the critical density of the universe, lies strictly between 0 and 11/16. The proof uses a formula where Ω_Λ = 11/16 - (α/π), with α representing the fine-structure constant. The theorem omega_lambda_bounds establishes both inequalities: 0 < Ω_Λ < 11/16. This is a recognition event, a discrete record of a comparison, that pins the cosmological constant to a narrow band below 0.6875.

For the fermion mass hierarchy, the library proves that the golden ratio φ, approximately 1.618, appears as the base of a power ladder. The theorems establish that φ^6 lies between 17 and 18, and that φ^11 exceeds 180. A further theorem, hierarchy_phi_power_structure, shows that for any positive integer Δr, there exists a ratio equal to φ^Δr that is greater than 1. This proves the structural claim that mass ratios are φ-powers of integer differences, providing a concrete arithmetic skeleton for the observed hierarchy.

The library assembles all these bounds into a single certificate, RegistryPredictionsCert, and proves it is inhabited. This certificate is a single object that packages the upper and lower bounds for Ω_Λ, the bounds for φ^6, the lower bound for φ^11, and the existence of the φ-power structure. The theorem registry_predictions_cert_exists confirms that this certificate exists, meaning all the registry predictions it contains are now backed by formal, machine-checked proofs rather than being merely asserted.

What this page does not claim

This module does not prove the value of the fine-structure constant α itself. The bounds are proven for a specific formula for Ω_Λ, not for the cosmological constant directly from general relativity. The φ-power structure is proven for any positive integer Δr, but the specific integer differences for known fermion masses are not derived here.

Verify this page

Every tagged claim above names its theorem. To check one yourself rather than trust this page, elaborate the source module with Lean 4 and audit its axiom basis:

$ lake env lean IndisputableMonolith/Unification/RegistryPredictionsProved.lean
expected axiom basis: [propext, Classical.choice, Quot.sound] (the Lean kernel's standard three; no RS-specific axioms)

A page whose claims cannot be reproduced this way does not ship. In production, every anchor links to the exact declaration in the public source release, and this block carries the build receipt for the page itself.
