In a recent publications I proposed a new statistical theory of gravity [Riccardo Fantoni, Quantum Reports, 6, 706 (2024)] which describes the fluctuations of the spacetime metric through a virial temperature. In a succeeding publication I discussed the foundations [Riccardo Fantoni, Stats, 8, 23 (2025)] of such theory. Here I propose a possible way to render numerically accessible the path integral Monte Carlo computations required in such Statistical Gravity theory. This requires the use of the Arnowitt, Deser, and Misner (ADM) splitting and of the Affine Quantization (AQ) method.

After reviewing the basics of Non-inertial relativity theory based on the existence of a maximal proper force $b$, it allowed to postulate a modified Newtonian attractive gravitational force (and potential) which is $finite$ at the origin : $ | F ( r = 0 ) | = b$, and which vanishes at $r = infty$. Secondly, from the modified gravitational potential energy we were able to glean the expression for a running gravitational coupling $ G ( r ) $ which exhibits asymptotic-freedom-like properties : $ G ( r = 0) = 0$, and $ G ( r = infty) = G_N$. No quantum corrections were necessary to decrease the strength of gravity at short distances. Thirdly, we found that for very $large$ masses $m_1, m_2$ (compared to $ sqrt b $) the $threshold$ in the values of $r$ obeying $ kappa r^2 < < 1$, where the non-Newtonian regime becomes manifest, becomes larger and larger as $m_1, m_2$ become larger and larger. Whereas for very $small$ masses (compared to $sqrt b $) the $threshold$ in the values of $r$ obeying $ kappa r^2 < < 1$, where the non-Newtonian regime becomes manifest, becomes smaller and smaller as $m_1, m_2$ become smaller and smaller. In the $ b = infty$ limit one recovers the Newtonian gravitational force for all values of $ r>0$. These results were all possible by abandoning the weak equivalence principle at short distances.

Shaking Tangled Dimensions (TD) is a geometric and stochastic framework that seeks to unify particle physics, gravitation, and quantum behavior through a discrete, Planck-scale lattice of interconnected cores. Each core contains three spatial, three electrical, and three dark dimensions, whose local overlaps, bends, twists, and cross-connections are proposed to generate the observed structure of spacetime, particle properties, and force-like interactions. In this picture, fundamental particles arise as localized dimensional kinks and misconnections rather than as point-like objects existing independently of the lattice.Within TD, gravity is associated with the overlap volume and angular inclination of the spatial dimensions relative to a central reference point, while time is tied to local lattice update dynamics. Electromagnetic behavior emerges from the bending and twisting of the electrical dimensions, and photons, neutrino oscillations, spin, and several particle-family features are reinterpreted within the same geometric setting. Quantum uncertainty is attributed to continual Planck-scale lattice oscillations, providing a possible microphysical basis for the contingent ingredient in Barandes’ stochastic-quantum correspondence. Dark matter is treated primarily as a weakly self-ordering population of dark-dimensional kinks that contributes gravitationally through its effect on neighboring spatial overlap while remaining largely non-dissipative in the present cosmological epoch.Taken together, these ideas present TD as a developing candidate framework in which the phenomena normally assigned to separate formalisms may instead reflect different aspects of one underlying dimensional substrate. The model remains exploratory, but it offers a unified geometric program for relating spacetime structure, quantum contingency, particle behavior, and dark matter within a single lattice-based picture.

The vacuum energy problem is one of the central unresolved tensions between quantum theory and gravitation. Quantum field theory predicts a vacuum energy density near 10¹¹³ J/m³, which in General Relativity would generate severe spacetime curvature, yet observation finds space remarkably flat.This article argues that the discrepancy traces to a centuries-old conceptual error: the nature of energy itself has been misclassified.Energy has been treated as a universal scalar currency, a single real-valued quantity. Yet close examination of the quantum substrate reveals that energy possesses an irreducible two-component structure. Maxwell showed this through light's two orthogonal polarizations. Dirac demanded it with his positive and negative energy solutions.Consider the foundational statement: energy curves spacetime. If energy is complex, how does such curvature manifest? Equally along two internal axes. Within this framework, the vacuum, perfectly balanced, yields no net observable curvature—resolving the catastrophe.But what of the exquisite curvature GR predicts so accurately around planets and stars?Precisely there. In GR, energy curves spacetime. What produces this curvature? Planets and stars. The imbalance of the vacuum's perfect symmetry. Spacetime curvature emerges only where the two components of energy depart from equilibrium.What follows develops this construction and its implications for quantum gravity—one where the vacuum sets the speed of light through its total amplitude, and curvature arises solely from asymmetry.

This work presents a new physical paradigm based on the recognition of the substance "Nolekson" (Nl) — an inert gas occupying the 0-th position in the 0-th period of D.I. Mendeleev’s periodic table of chemical elements [1]. This is a quantum stationary cosmological model in which cosmic microwave background (CMB) photons and all particles are interpreted as vortex excitations (tori) in the Nolekson medium — an ultra relativistic gas filling all space [2, 3]. The mass of any particle or photon has the dimension of area [4, 5, 6] (kg = m^2), which resolves dimensional paradoxes and allows the Hubble constant (H_0) to be expressed via Planck constants. Precise relations are obtained linking the CMB temperature (T_CMB), Lorentz factors (γ ∼ 9×10^14 and γ^1 ∼ 7×10^14), the mean free path of noleksinos (L_nl — which is close to the perihelion of Jupiter, accounting for the barycenter, [3]) and the gravitational constant (G).

This paper introduces Localized Intrinsic Field Equilibrium (LIFE), a unified field mechanical framework which posits that the photon is not merely a propagating wave, but a discrete electromagnetic wave packet maintained in dynamic equilibrium. Within this framework, field confinement is anisotropic: the electromagnetic forces maintaining equilibrium differ in the transverse and longitudinal planes. Consequently, the effective electromagnetic mass of the photon behaves as a vector quantity, dependent on the direction of propagation and external field interaction.Leveraging this framework, we propose a novel method for achieving ultra-high resolution photolithography by applying Electric Dipole Spin Resonance (EDSR) to bulk optical materials. While EDSR is traditionally utilized in quantum computing for single-electron spin manipulation, we demonstrate its application in a macroscopic "bulk" capacity to induce resonant light-matter coupling within a Sodium Chloride (NaCl) crystal lens at cryogenic temperatures. By driving the crystal lattice into a strong electromagnetic resonance, we alter the dispersion relation of the medium, creating a "Slow Light" regime where the propagation speed of light is reduced by a factor of 10 (v ≈ c/10).This massive deceleration results in a surge of the effective refractive index (n ≈ 10), which compresses the wavelength of standard red laser source light (650 nm) to an effective wavelength of 65 nm inside the lens. This hyper-refractive state allows the integrated lens to function as a solid immersion system with significantly enhanced optical power, projecting a demagnified image onto a silicon wafer 10 times smaller than the diffraction limit would normally permit. This approach offers a pathway to advanced integrated circuit scaling by achieving Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV)-class2resolution using standard optical frequencies, thereby bypassing the complexity and energy costs associated with high-energy photon sources.

Based on the low-energy quantum gravity model, it is shown that the overestimation of the Hubble constant at small z, characteristic of the cosmological model, can be eliminated using a two-parameter luminosity distance function that takes into account the change in the number of photons. This new function was fitted to a similar function in the model, which best describes observations. Estimates were obtained for the light attenuation parameter, which replaces the effect of dark energy, and for the Hubble constant in the new model without cosmological expansion. Such a resolution of the Hubble crisis could cause a serious conceptual crisis in modern cosmology.

We extend the bounded-vacuum framework introduced in Ref. [1] by incorporating the intrinsic dynamical properties of localized vacuum configurations and deriving a unified effective field equation for the vacuum potential Φ(x,t). In this approach, matter is identified as a localized vacuum loading corresponding to a deficit of the vacuum potential. We show that stable vacuum loading configurations have their own intrinsic degrees of freedom associated with vibrations of definite frequency ω_0; small deviations from the equilibrium satisfy the Klein—Gordon-type equation, so that the dispersion relation gives the known energy-momentum dependence E^2=p^2 c^2+m^2 c^4, where mass originates due to the condition ℏω_0=mc^2. The field equation under discussion includes not only the wave propagation, but the effect of gravity and the restoring force which represents a sort of the vacuum capacity limitation; in such a way we get the unified treatment of the problem of both massive and massless particles. Within the nonrelativistic limit, the theory turns out to be nothing else but the Schrödinger equation with the effective potential associated with fluctuations of the vacuum potential.

First, We consider if a generalized HUP set greater than or equal to Planck’s constant divided by the square of a scale factor as well as an inflation field, yield the result that Delta E times Delta t is embedded in a 5 dimensional field which is within a deterministic structure. Our proof ends with Delta t as of Planck time yielding an enormous potential energy, Second, we tie this energy to black hole physics and the early universe. i.e ,Our idea for black hole physics being used for GW generation , is using Torsion to form a cosmological constant. Planck sized black holes allow for a spin density term linked to Torsion.

We compute the complete nonlocal one-loop form factors F1(□/Λ2) and F2(□/Λ2,ξ) of the curvature-squared sector of the spectral action S = Tr f(D2/Λ2) for the full Standard Model particle content: 4 real scalars (Higgs), 45/2 Dirac-equivalent fermions (3 generations), and 12 gauge bosons (SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)). Using the Barvinsky-Vilkovisky covariant perturbation theory and the Codello-Zanusso diagrammatic heat kernel, we derive closed-form results for each spin sector (0, 1/2, 1) in the Weyl basis and assemble the Standard Model totals. The local limits yield αC = 13/120 for the Weyl-squared coefficient and αR(ξ) = 2(ξ-1/6)2 for the R2 coefficient, where ξ is the Higgs non-minimal coupling. Both form factors are shown to be entire functions, ensuring no additional propagator poles beyond those of the classical theory. We derive the c1/c2 ratio, the scalar graviton decoupling condition at conformal coupling ξ = 1/6, and the UV asymptotic behavior. The form factors yield a modified Newtonian potential with calculable effective masses m2 = Λ(60/13)1/2 and m0 = Λ/(6(ξ-1/6)2)1/2, connecting the spectral action framework to solar-system phenomenology. All results are verified by independent multi-precision numerical evaluation.
