Publications & Open Research Record

QDL Publications, Benchmarks, and DOI Record

This page collects the public research record of the QDL Physics Institute: peer-reviewed work, flagship synthesis, DOI-backed Zenodo records, benchmark packages, datasets, technical preprints, books, and executable-infrastructure milestones.

The current hierarchy is organized around the flagship monograph Physical Law as the Minimal Architecture of Persistence Under Closure, supported by the QDL roadmap, the peer-reviewed JTAP metrology article, the substrate capstone, the Toroidal QDC Knot, the QDC Completion Theorem, the SMEFT Γ(O) audit companion, the charged-lepton sequence, and executed residual-first benchmark records.

Publication Status Map

A fast guide to what kind of record each layer represents.

Peer-reviewed article The JTAP metrology paper is the first peer-reviewed journal anchor for QDL.
Flagship synthesis The Physical Law monograph is an open, DOI-backed, non-peer-reviewed research monograph and current top-level synthesis.
Zenodo records The roadmap, substrate capstone, Toroidal QDC Knot, QDC Completion Theorem, SMEFT audit companion, and charged-lepton sequence are public DOI-backed research records.
Executed benchmarks The benchmark records are residual-first methodological tests and explicitly do not claim new physical effects.
Conditional/theorem-gated work Standard-Model, family, charged-lepton, gravitational, SMEFT, and cosmological branches are presented with claim-status limits, conditional gates, or open proof targets.

QDL Lattice Publication Map

The simplified public explanation connecting the publication record.

Core public explanation QDL Lattice Closure-persistent recurrence
One Architecture Behind the Papers

QDL models space not as absolute emptiness, but as a closure-compatible QDL Lattice of recurrence. Persistent particles are localized closure modes of that same structure. Composite particles are confined multi-channel modes. At larger scales, collective closure stress is investigated as a possible route to effective geometric response.

QDL Lattice Localized modes Composite modes Collective stress Effective geometry

The publications below develop and test this architecture in stages: the monograph supplies the top-level synthesis; the roadmap gives the navigation record; the metrology paper anchors the first peer-reviewed foundation; the substrate capstone and Toroidal QDC Knot define the recurrence-substrate branch; the QDC Completion Theorem states the current completion-gate spine; the SMEFT audit companion provides a falsifiable operator-governance dataset; and the charged-lepton sequence develops the numerical spectrum application.

Claim-status note: the QDL Lattice is a substrate interpretation and research architecture. It is not a claim that microscopic lattice cells have already been directly observed, or that spacetime, spin, gravity, and the full particle spectrum have already been completely derived.

Flagship Monograph

The defining synthesis of the current QDL research program.

Flagship synthesis Open Research Monograph v1.0 June 2026 Non-peer-reviewed Claim-status controlled
Bourassa, James D. (2026). Open Research Monograph, Version 1.0. QDL Physics Institute. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20940986
Frontispiece showing closure-persistent recurrence as a common architecture for particle, mass, charge, family, vacuum, interaction, and physical constants
Frontispiece. Selected manifestations of closure-persistent recurrence. The diagram is conceptual rather than a literal microscopic image; its scientific content is assessed through predictive compression, explicit closure gates, and failure-sensitive tests.

This monograph states the broadest QDL thesis: physical law may be understood as the minimal architecture required for physical persistence under closure. It develops predictive compression as the central standard for theory appraisal: a reduced structure must determine a consequence not separately inserted, generate linked consequences, or exclude an otherwise viable alternative.

The monograph integrates QDL/QDC construction, matter and hypercharge selection, primitive three-family recurrence, ordered-pair charged-lepton phase structure, compact-phase locking, the spin-2 obstruction, and a closure-neutral vacuum-source theorem target. It also gives explicit no-fit boundaries for dimensionless gauge couplings and absolute mass scales.

Publication status is explicit: this is an openly archived, non-peer-reviewed scholarly monograph. It distinguishes strict theorems, conditional reconstructions, restricted minimality theorems, constrained branches, and open numerical or dynamical targets.

May 2026 Roadmap Program architecture Claim-status firewalls
Bourassa, J. D. (2026). Zenodo · DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20461142

The concise QDL orientation and program-architecture record. It synthesizes dimensional closure, QDC geometry, operator governance, mass-spectrum architecture, substrate persistence, measurement-chain integrity, claim-status firewalls, failure modes, and near-term validation paths.

May 2026 Substrate architecture Physical persistence
Bourassa, J. D. (2026). Zenodo · DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20346814

The QDL substrate architecture record. This capstone defines QDL as a residual-first closure-admissibility theory of physical persistence and frames the substrate as the closure-persistent residue of candidate Planck-scale fluctuation structure.

May 2026 Geometric substrate keystone Toroidal QDC
Bourassa, J. D. (2026). Zenodo · DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20367493
Toroidal QDC Knot graphical abstract showing two-cycle recurrence, toroidal QDC closure, and the QDL closure sequence
Graphical abstract for the toroidal geometric substrate keystone.

The canonical QDL geometric substrate-mode paper. It models Planck-scale candidate structure as a closure-stable toroidal two-cycle recurrence knot and gives the substrate capstone a compact geometric persistence object.

The central identity is QDCT = VTω1ω2 ∼ L3F2, with closure sequence Tn,m → QDCT → ΓT(T) → CTQDL = 0 → RTQDL.

Graphical abstract for the QDC Completion Theorem. The figure separates exact or computed anchors from conditional reconstruction steps and explicitly open completion gates.

The current QDL completion-theorem spine. This record consolidates the route from the Planck-scale toroidal QDC substrate to local Standard-Model admissibility and gravitational recurrence, using exact anchors, conditional reconstruction gates, and declared open proof targets.
