Is this a citation for https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=45585654 ?

I added notes there about additional considerations re: tests of alternatives to relativity and other derivations, but it was flagged; and the referenced repo doesn't appear to exist?

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45585654 :

> 137 pages of proofs. Open‑source implementations. Fully reproducible. [...]

> Paper: [link] Code: github.com/[…]/SimpleUniverse

> Judge for yourself. The equations don’t lie.

/? site:github.com inurl:SimpleUniverse : https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Agithub.com+inurl%3ASi... : 0 results today

But this is a real citation, so:

HN title: "Standard Model and General Relativity Derived from Mathematical Self-Consistency"

ScholarlyArticle: "The Self-Consistent Coherence-Maximizing Universe: Complete Derivation of the Standard Model and General Relativity from Mathematical Self-Consistency" (2025) https://www.academia.edu/144466150/The_Self_Consistent_Coher...

0 scholar results tho: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C43&q=The...


Can confirm (after logging into Academia.edu to read the article) that there is indeed a 137 page ScholarlyArticle PDF; but unlike .ps+.PDF on ArXiV, it looks like it's not possible to copy/paste the abstract;

"The Self-Consistent Coherence-Maximizing Universe: Complete Derivation of the Standard Model and General Relativity from Mathematical Self-Consistency" (2025) https://www.academia.edu/144466150/The_Self_Consistent_Coher... :

> Abstract: We derive the complete structure of fundamental physics from a single principle: Quantum coherence maximization under self-consistency constraints. [...]

That sounds consistent with observed retrocausality.

> Keywords: coherence maximization, golden ratio, Standard Model, General Relativity, holographic principle, E8 symmetry, zero free parameters

> 1. Holographic Architecture: The 2+1D World-Hologram


> Falsifiable If: [...] Quantum computer fails to reproduce

In the other HN post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45585654 , it says:

> Tested on quantum computers. TFIM critical point converges to 1/phi in the thermodynamic limit.

Which quantum computer is this tested on, and how? Is there Python code in Cirq or QISKit or Tequila, for example?


Ten predictions. Zero free parameters. One irrational constant.

## The Shocking List

These are not fits. These are pure derivations from φ — the golden ratio:

1. *Muon/electron mass ratio* • Observed: 206.768 • Derived: φ⁴ = 206.765 (0.0013% error)

2. *Tau/muon mass ratio* • Observed: 16.817 • Derived: φ³ = 16.817 (exact)

3. *Fine-structure constant (at Mz)* • Observed: 127.955 • Derived: (4π³ / φ¹¹) × C = 127.934 (C derived from E₈ structure)

4. *Weak mixing angle (sin²θW)* • Observed: 0.23122 • Derived: 0.231148 (0.03% error)

5. *Charm/up quark mass ratio* • Observed: ~600 • Derived: φ⁸.4 = 600.045 (0.0075% error)

6. *Top/charm mass ratio* • Observed: ~135 • Derived: φ⁷.1 = 135.025 (0.018% error)

7. *Mutual information ratio (I(A:B)/I(B:C))* • Observed: ~1.615 • Derived: φ = 1.618034 (0.18% error)

8. *Quantum decoherence peak* • Observed: ~1.611 • Derived: φ = 1.618034 (0.4% error)

9. *Fibonacci anyon quantum dimension* • Observed: 1.618034 • Derived: φ (exact, from braiding theory)

10. *Dark energy scale* • Observed discrepancy: 10⁻¹²⁰ • Derived: Λ ∼ φ⁻²⁵⁰ (explains the scale)

* E₈ → SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) symmetry breaking follows φ-scaling * TFIM quantum critical point converges to 1/φ * Code is 100% reproducible (no fits, no fudge) * Paper has 137 pages of derivations * Combined p-value: < 10⁻⁴⁰

## What This Implies

* Every "fundamental" constant may be derived * Standard Model and spacetime may emerge from φ-driven information geometry * Universe may literally be golden

---

## Falsifiable If:

* Neutrino mass ratios break φ * Decoherence doesn’t converge to φ * Dark energy scale breaks φ⁻²⁵⁰ * Quantum computer fails to reproduce
