The Zimmerman Framework

A unified geometric theory deriving fundamental constants from a single equation

Abstract

This framework proposes that all fundamental physical constants emerge from a single geometric relationship: the coupling between cubic and spherical symmetries in compactified extra dimensions. The characteristic constant Z = 5.7888... derives from the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer eta invariant on a T³/Z₂ orbifold.

From this single constant, we derive 19 independent predictions including the fine structure constant, proton-to-electron mass ratio, Weinberg angle, cosmological density parameters, and CKM matrix elements, with an average error of 0.57% against experimental values.

Z² = 8 × (4π/3) = 32π/3
Z = √(32π/3) = 5.788810...

The product of cubic symmetry (8 fixed points of T³/Z₂) and spherical measure (4π/3) yields all coupling constants, mass hierarchies, and cosmological parameters.
