Introduction

The standard unreduced Planck length, Planck time, and Planck mass are

ℓP=ℏGc3,tP=ℏGc5,mP=ℏcG.\ell_{P}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^3}},\qquad t_P=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^5}},\qquad m_P=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar c}{G}}.
TeX source
\ell_{P}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^3}},\qquad
t_P=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar G}{c^5}},\qquad
m_P=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar c}{G}}.

In the revised SI, the exact numerical values of the defining constants, including ccc and hhh, define the units, while GGG remains a measured constant with standard uncertainty; CODATA therefore supplies the standard numerical readout of the Planck triad [citation]. Equation reference is not questioned here. The question is narrower: once a declared CHC calibration class supplies length and time calibration factors together with the associated dimensionless length-to-time calibration factor, what is the lawful dimensional readout of reference, and what remains open?

The input from the CCL inverse problem is the dimensionless path functional ρ>0\rho>0\rho>0 and the profile factor F(q)>0F(q)>0F(q)>0. The corresponding length and time ratios are

Vreadc⊕=ρ,D0=τ0ρ2F(q).\frac{V_{\rm read}}{c_\oplus}=\rho, \qquad D_0=\tau_0\rho^2F(q).
TeX source
\frac{V_{\rm read}}{c_\oplus}=\rho,
\qquad
D_0=\tau_0\rho^2F(q).

Here VreadV_{\rm read}V_{\rm read} is a path-normalization functional, not a local, group, signal, or universal propagation speed. The parameters (ρ,q)(\rho,q)(\rho,q) must be estimated from calibration data under the CCL rank condition [citation]. The specialization Hπ:(ρ,q)=(π,3/4)H_\pi:(\rho,q)=(\pi,3/4)H_\pi:(\rho,q)=(\pi,3/4) is a testable submodel and not a consequence of detector phase completion.

Replacing only c⊕c_\oplusc_\oplus by ρc⊕\rho c_\oplus\rho c_\oplus in reference changes one dimensional component while holding the others fixed. Such a calculation is inconsistent with a common change of dimensional calibration. The transformation must act on every dimensional quantity according to its mass--length--time exponents.

The mass factor remains explicit because the CCL inverse problem contains no mass-sector observable. Thus mP,H=μmP,⊕m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu m_{P,\oplus}m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu m_{P,\oplus} until an additional mass-bearing condition is imposed. More generally, dimensional covariance implies that no dimensionless observable changes under the calibration map. This observation supplies a precise criterion for physical content: a proposed extension must alter at least one independently measurable dimensionless relation.

Scope and claim structure

The analysis concerns a dimensional calibration map with parameters (ρ,q,μ)(\rho,q,\mu)(\rho,q,\mu). It neither redefines SI units nor derives ccc, hhh, ℏ\hbar\hbar, GGG, a minimum length, or a quantum-gravity scale. General theorems are stated for arbitrary positive (ρ,F(q),μ)(\rho,F(q),\mu)(\rho,F(q),\mu); HπH_\piH_\pi is separated as a numerical submodel.

The companion metrology calculation checks the use of BIPM, CODATA, NIST, and IAU reference values. Such a reference check does not identify (ρ,q,μ)(\rho,q,\mu)(\rho,q,\mu) and supplies no physical evidence for HπH_\piH_\pi.

Figure or table content is omitted from the web reader; use the canonical manuscript for the exact object.

All conditional statements below display their additional hypotheses explicitly. In particular, numerical agreement within HπH_\piH_\pi cannot establish HπH_\piH_\pi because the same quantities were used to define that specialization.

Imported calibration class and standard readouts

Earth/SI Planck triadCCL calibration factors

Earth/SI Planck triad

The Earth/SI readout of the standard Planck triad is

ℓP,⊕=ℏ⊕G⊕c⊕3,tP,⊕=ℏ⊕G⊕c⊕5,mP,⊕=ℏ⊕c⊕G⊕.\ell_{P,\oplus}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_\oplus G_\oplus}{c_\oplus^3}},\qquad t_{P,\oplus}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_\oplus G_\oplus}{c_\oplus^5}},\qquad m_{P,\oplus}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_\oplus c_\oplus}{G_\oplus}} .
TeX source
\ell_{P,\oplus}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_\oplus G_\oplus}{c_\oplus^3}},\qquad
 t_{P,\oplus}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_\oplus G_\oplus}{c_\oplus^5}},\qquad
 m_{P,\oplus}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_\oplus c_\oplus}{G_\oplus}} .

These are imported standard dimensional definitions. Numerical values below use SI/CODATA readouts and are not new measurements [citation].

CCL calibration factors

Let the path-normalization readout be

ρ≡Vreadc⊕=κpath−1,κpath=L∫r⊙r⊕dr/κ(r),L=r⊕−r⊙,\rho\equiv\frac{V_{\rm read}}{c_\oplus}=\kpath^{-1}, \qquad \kpath=\frac{L}{\displaystyle\int_{r_\odot}^{r_\oplus}dr/\kappa(r)}, \qquad L=r_\oplus-r_\odot,
TeX source
\rho\equiv\frac{V_{\rm read}}{c_\oplus}=\kpath^{-1},
 \qquad
 \kpath=\frac{L}{\displaystyle\int_{r_\odot}^{r_\oplus}dr/\kappa(r)},
 \qquad
 L=r_\oplus-r_\odot,

This is the same dimensionless calibration relation as the parent CCL statement, written without treating VreadV_{\rm read}V_{\rm read} as a physical speed. The scale-free radial profile is

κ(r)=κ⊕(rr⊕)q.\kappa(r)=\kappa_\oplus\left(\frac{r}{r_\oplus}\right)^q.
TeX source
\kappa(r)=\kappa_\oplus\left(\frac{r}{r_\oplus}\right)^q.

For q≠1q\ne1q\ne1, define

x≡R⊙Nau,F(q)=(1−q)(1−x)1−x1−q.x\equiv\frac{\RsunN}{\au}, \qquad F(q)=\frac{(1-q)(1-x)}{1-x^{1-q}}.
TeX source
x\equiv\frac{\RsunN}{\au},
 \qquad
 F(q)=\frac{(1-q)(1-x)}{1-x^{1-q}}.

The pair (ρ,q)(\rho,q)(\rho,q) is an empirical parameterization. It is locally identifiable only when the profiled CCL sensitivity matrix has rank two. The astronomical unit is exactly 149 597 870 700149\,597\,870\,700149\,597\,870\,700 m by IAU Resolution B2, and the IAU nominal solar radius R⊙N=695 700 000R_{\odot}^{\mathrm N}=695\,700\,000R_{\odot}^{\mathrm N}=695\,700\,000 m is an exact nominal conversion constant, not the true time-varying solar radius [citation].

The resulting relations are

Vreadc⊕=ρ,R≡D0τ0=ρ2F(q).\frac{V_{\rm read}}{c_\oplus}=\rho, \qquad R\equiv \frac{D_0}{\tau_0}=\rho^2F(q).
TeX source
\frac{V_{\rm read}}{c_\oplus}=\rho,
\qquad
R\equiv \frac{D_0}{\tau_0}=\rho^2F(q).

Equivalently,

κpath=1ρ,κ⊕=1ρF(q).\kpath=\frac1\rho, \qquad \kop=\frac{1}{\rho F(q)}.
TeX source
\kpath=\frac1\rho,
\qquad
\kop=\frac{1}{\rho F(q)}.

The path-harmonic normalization κpath\kpath\kpath and the point-local factor κ⊕\kop\kop are distinct quantities. No detector boundary condition fixes either one.

definition: Calibration factors. For positive ρ\rho\rho and F(q)F(q)F(q), define

T≡ρF(q),L≡ρ2F(q),C≡LT=ρ.\Tcal\equiv \rho F(q),\qquad \Lcal\equiv \rho^2F(q),\qquad \Ccal\equiv \frac{\Lcal}{\Tcal}=\rho .
TeX source
\Tcal\equiv \rho F(q),\qquad
\Lcal\equiv \rho^2F(q),\qquad
\Ccal\equiv \frac{\Lcal}{\Tcal}=\rho .

Here T\Tcal\Tcal and L\Lcal\Lcal are time and length calibration factors, while C\Ccal\Ccal is their ratio.

remark: Identifiability requirement. Equations reference--reference propagate estimates; they do not estimate (ρ,q)(\rho,q)(\rho,q). If the CCL inverse problem fails its admissibility or rank condition, the numerical factors are not determined.

Dimensional calibration lift

definition: Dimension vector. A dimensional quantity QQQ has dimension vector (a,b,c)(a,b,c)(a,b,c) when

[Q]=MaLbTc.[Q]=M^aL^bT^c.
TeX source
[Q]=M^aL^bT^c.

For the constants used below,

[c]=LT−1,[ℏ]=ML2T−1,[G]=M−1L3T−2.[c]=LT^{-1},\qquad [\hbar]=ML^2T^{-1},\qquad [G]=M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}.
TeX source
[c]=LT^{-1},\qquad [\hbar]=ML^2T^{-1},\qquad [G]=M^{-1}L^3T^{-2}.

definition: Dimensional calibration map. Let

μ≡MHM⊕>0\mu\equiv\frac{M_{\Hcal}}{M_\oplus}>0
TeX source
\mu\equiv\frac{M_{\Hcal}}{M_\oplus}>0

be an independent mass-calibration factor. For any dimensional quantity QQQ with dimension vector (a,b,c)(a,b,c)(a,b,c), define

QH=μaLbTcQ⊕.Q_{\Hcal}=\mu^a\Lcal^b\Tcal^cQ_\oplus .
TeX source
Q_{\Hcal}=\mu^a\Lcal^b\Tcal^cQ_\oplus .

This map is a change of dimensional representation. It acquires physical content only if the theory supplies a change in a dimensionless observable.

proposition: Transformation of dimensional constants. Under reference,

cH=LTc⊕=ρc⊕,ℏH=μL2Tℏ⊕=μρ3F(q)ℏ⊕,GH=L3μT2G⊕=ρ4F(q)μG⊕.c_{\Hcal}=\frac{\Lcal}{\Tcal}c_\oplus=\rho c_\oplus, \hbar_{\Hcal}=\mu\frac{\Lcal^2}{\Tcal}\hbar_\oplus=\mu\rho^3F(q)\hbar_\oplus, G_{\Hcal}=\frac{\Lcal^3}{\mu\Tcal^2}G_\oplus=\frac{\rho^4F(q)}{\mu}G_\oplus.
TeX source
c_{\Hcal}=\frac{\Lcal}{\Tcal}c_\oplus=\rho c_\oplus,

 \hbar_{\Hcal}=\mu\frac{\Lcal^2}{\Tcal}\hbar_\oplus=\mu\rho^3F(q)\hbar_\oplus,

 G_{\Hcal}=\frac{\Lcal^3}{\mu\Tcal^2}G_\oplus=\frac{\rho^4F(q)}{\mu}G_\oplus.

remark: Status of cHc_{\Hcal}c_{\Hcal}. The symbol cHc_{\Hcal}c_{\Hcal} in reference is a component of the dimensional transformation. It is not an observed local light speed, a new SI value of ccc, or a propagation-speed prediction.

proof. Substitute the dimension vectors of ccc, ℏ\hbar\hbar, and GGG into reference. The simplified forms follow from reference.

remark: Interpretation. The symbols cHc_{\Hcal}c_{\Hcal}, ℏH\hbar_{\Hcal}\hbar_{\Hcal}, and GHG_{\Hcal}G_{\Hcal} are components of the same dimensional map. They are neither new measurements nor assertions that the SI constants have changed.

remark: Why μ\mu\mu is explicit. The CCL observables supply length and time factors but no mass-sector equation. Therefore μ\mu\mu cannot be inferred from them.

Conditional Planck-triad calibration

definition: Transformed Planck triad. For a fixed μ>0\mu>0\mu>0, define

ℓP,H=ℏHGHcH3,tP,H=ℏHGHcH5,mP,H=ℏHcHGH.\ell_{P,\Hcal}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_{\Hcal}G_{\Hcal}}{c_{\Hcal}^3}}, \qquad t_{P,\Hcal}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_{\Hcal}G_{\Hcal}}{c_{\Hcal}^5}}, \qquad m_{P,\Hcal}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_{\Hcal}c_{\Hcal}}{G_{\Hcal}}}.
TeX source
\ell_{P,\Hcal}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_{\Hcal}G_{\Hcal}}{c_{\Hcal}^3}},
\qquad
 t_{P,\Hcal}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_{\Hcal}G_{\Hcal}}{c_{\Hcal}^5}},
\qquad
 m_{P,\Hcal}=\sqrt{\frac{\hbar_{\Hcal}c_{\Hcal}}{G_{\Hcal}}}.

theorem: Covariance of the Planck triad. Under the dimensional calibration map, reference satisfies

ℓP,H=LℓP,⊕=ρ2F(q)ℓP,⊕,tP,H=TtP,⊕=ρF(q)tP,⊕,mP,H=μmP,⊕.\ell_{P,\Hcal}=\Lcal\ell_{P,\oplus}=\rho^2F(q)\ell_{P,\oplus}, t_{P,\Hcal}=\Tcal t_{P,\oplus}=\rho F(q)t_{P,\oplus}, m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu m_{P,\oplus}.
TeX source
\ell_{P,\Hcal}=\Lcal\ell_{P,\oplus}=\rho^2F(q)\ell_{P,\oplus},

 t_{P,\Hcal}=\Tcal t_{P,\oplus}=\rho F(q)t_{P,\oplus},

 m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu m_{P,\oplus}.

proof. Using reference,

ℓP,HℓP,⊕=[(μL2T−1)(L3μ−1T−2)(LT−1)3]1/2=L,tP,HtP,⊕=[(μL2T−1)(L3μ−1T−2)(LT−1)5]1/2=T,mP,HmP,⊕=[(μL2T−1)(LT−1)L3μ−1T−2]1/2=μ.\frac{\ell_{P,\Hcal}}{\ell_{P,\oplus}} =\left[\frac{(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1})(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2})}{(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1})^3}\right]^{1/2}=\Lcal, \frac{t_{P,\Hcal}}{t_{P,\oplus}} =\left[\frac{(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1})(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2})}{(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1})^5}\right]^{1/2}=\Tcal, \frac{m_{P,\Hcal}}{m_{P,\oplus}} =\left[\frac{(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1})(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1})}{\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2}}\right]^{1/2}=\mu.
TeX source
\frac{\ell_{P,\Hcal}}{\ell_{P,\oplus}}
=\left[\frac{(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1})(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2})}{(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1})^3}\right]^{1/2}=\Lcal,

\frac{t_{P,\Hcal}}{t_{P,\oplus}}
=\left[\frac{(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1})(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2})}{(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1})^5}\right]^{1/2}=\Tcal,

\frac{m_{P,\Hcal}}{m_{P,\oplus}}
=\left[\frac{(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1})(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1})}{\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2}}\right]^{1/2}=\mu.

All factors are positive, so the positive square-root branch is selected.

corollary: Inconsistency of a speed-only substitution. If only c⊕c_\oplusc_\oplus is replaced by ρc⊕\rho c_\oplus\rho c_\oplus in reference while ℏ⊕\hbar_\oplus\hbar_\oplus and G⊕G_\oplusG_\oplus are held fixed, the result is

ℓPmix=ρ−3/2ℓP,⊕,tPmix=ρ−5/2tP,⊕,mPmix=ρ1/2mP,⊕.\ell_P^{\rm mix}=\rho^{-3/2}\ell_{P,\oplus}, \qquad t_P^{\rm mix}=\rho^{-5/2}t_{P,\oplus}, \qquad m_P^{\rm mix}=\rho^{1/2}m_{P,\oplus}.
TeX source
\ell_P^{\rm mix}=\rho^{-3/2}\ell_{P,\oplus},
\qquad
 t_P^{\rm mix}=\rho^{-5/2}t_{P,\oplus},
\qquad
 m_P^{\rm mix}=\rho^{1/2}m_{P,\oplus}.

It is not the common dimensional transformation reference--reference.

proof. The powers of ccc in reference give reference. The calculation violates reference because it moves only one dimensional constant.

Mass-scale non-identifiability

theorem: Non-identifiability without a mass-bearing observable. Length--time calibration and reference do not identify μ\mu\mu. A value can be obtained only after an independent positive quantity of nonzero mass dimension is constrained. Hence the transformed Planck mass is not predicted by the CCL calibration data.

proof. The factors L\Lcal\Lcal and T\Tcal\Tcal may be estimated from (ρ,q)(\rho,q)(\rho,q), whereas reference contains the independent factor μ\mu\mu. For every μ>0\mu>0\mu>0 the same length and time calibration is obtained. The forward map from (ρ,q,μ)(\rho,q,\mu)(\rho,q,\mu) to length--time observables is therefore constant along the μ\mu\mu direction and its Jacobian has a zero μ\mu\mu column. Thus μ\mu\mu is not locally or globally identifiable from those observables.

theorem: Mass-factor determination by an independent invariant. Let QQQ be a positive dimensional quantity with [Q]=MaLbTc[Q]=M^aL^bT^c[Q]=M^aL^bT^c and a≠0a\ne0a\ne0. If an independent physical hypothesis imposes

QH=Q⊕,Q_{\Hcal}=Q_\oplus,
TeX source
Q_{\Hcal}=Q_\oplus,

then the mass factor is fixed uniquely as

μQ=L−b/aT−c/a.\mu_Q=\Lcal^{-b/a}\Tcal^{-c/a}.
TeX source
\mu_Q=\Lcal^{-b/a}\Tcal^{-c/a}.

proof. By reference, the invariant condition is μaLbTc=1\mu^a\Lcal^b\Tcal^c=1\mu^a\Lcal^b\Tcal^c=1. Since a≠0a\ne0a\ne0 and μ>0\mu>0\mu>0, the positive branch gives reference.

Figure or table content is omitted from the web reader; use the canonical manuscript for the exact object.

remark: Mutually independent hypotheses. reference lists algebraic consequences of different conditions; it does not rank or establish them. Simultaneously imposing two rows generally overconstrains (ρ,q,μ)(\rho,q,\mu)(\rho,q,\mu) and must therefore be tested as a separate model.

Non-selection checks

theorem: Dimensionless-observable invariance. Let Q1,…,QnQ_1,\ldots,Q_nQ_1,\ldots,Q_n have dimension vectors di=(ai,bi,ci)\boldsymbol d_i=(a_i,b_i,c_i)\boldsymbol d_i=(a_i,b_i,c_i), and let

I=∏i=1nQisiI=\prod_{i=1}^{n}Q_i^{s_i}
TeX source
I=\prod_{i=1}^{n}Q_i^{s_i}

be dimensionless, so that ∑isidi=0\sum_i s_i\boldsymbol d_i=\boldsymbol 0\sum_i s_i\boldsymbol d_i=\boldsymbol 0. Under reference,

IH=I⊕.I_{\Hcal}=I_\oplus .
TeX source
I_{\Hcal}=I_\oplus .

Consequently, a multiplicative recalibration of base dimensions cannot by itself predict a change in any dimensionless observable.

proof. Applying reference to every factor gives

IHI⊕=μ∑isiaiL∑isibiT∑isici.\frac{I_{\Hcal}}{I_\oplus} =\mu^{\sum_i s_i a_i}\Lcal^{\sum_i s_i b_i}\Tcal^{\sum_i s_i c_i}.
TeX source
\frac{I_{\Hcal}}{I_\oplus}
=\mu^{\sum_i s_i a_i}\Lcal^{\sum_i s_i b_i}\Tcal^{\sum_i s_i c_i}.

All three exponents vanish because III is dimensionless, proving reference. Since experimental comparisons reduce to dimensionless ratios of readings to standards, a calibration map alone has no observable effect. A physical theory must additionally change a dimensionless constitutive relation, coupling, spectrum ratio, or correlation function.

corollary: Planck-triad non-predictivity. The ratios ℓP,H/L\ell_{P,\Hcal}/\Lcal\ell_{P,\Hcal}/\Lcal, tP,H/Tt_{P,\Hcal}/\Tcalt_{P,\Hcal}/\Tcal, and mP,H/μm_{P,\Hcal}/\mum_{P,\Hcal}/\mu reproduce their reference values, and every dimensionless combination of the transformed Planck triad and consistently transformed standards is unchanged. Thus reference expresses dimensional covariance, not new Planck-scale phenomenology.

proof. The three equalities follow from reference; the general statement follows from reference.

proposition: Compton quantities are consistency relations. Let mH=μm⊕m_{\Hcal}=\mu m_\oplusm_{\Hcal}=\mu m_\oplus. With

λC=ℏmc,ωC=mc2ℏ,\lambda_C=\frac{\hbar}{mc}, \qquad \omega_C=\frac{mc^2}{\hbar},
TeX source
\lambda_C=\frac{\hbar}{mc},
\qquad
\omega_C=\frac{mc^2}{\hbar},

the lift gives

λC,H=LλC,⊕,ωC,H=T−1ωC,⊕.\lambda_{C,\Hcal}=\Lcal\lambda_{C,\oplus}, \qquad \omega_{C,\Hcal}=\Tcal^{-1}\omega_{C,\oplus}.
TeX source
\lambda_{C,\Hcal}=\Lcal\lambda_{C,\oplus},
\qquad
\omega_{C,\Hcal}=\Tcal^{-1}\omega_{C,\oplus}.

Both relations are independent of μ\mu\mu.

proof. Substitute reference and reference together with mH=μm⊕m_{\Hcal}=\mu m_\oplusm_{\Hcal}=\mu m_\oplus. The factors of μ\mu\mu cancel.

proposition: Dimensionless gravitational coupling is neutral. For

αG(m)=Gm2ℏc,\alpha_G(m)=\frac{Gm^2}{\hbar c},
TeX source
\alpha_G(m)=\frac{Gm^2}{\hbar c},

one has

αG,H(mH)=αG,⊕(m⊕).\alpha_{G,\Hcal}(m_{\Hcal})=\alpha_{G,\oplus}(m_\oplus).
TeX source
\alpha_{G,\Hcal}(m_{\Hcal})=\alpha_{G,\oplus}(m_\oplus).

Thus the dimensionless coupling cannot select μ\mu\mu.

proof. The numerator lifts as (L3μ−1T−2G⊕)(μ2m⊕2)=μL3T−2G⊕m⊕2(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2}G_\oplus)(\mu^2m_\oplus^2)=\mu\Lcal^3\Tcal^{-2}G_\oplus m_\oplus^2(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2}G_\oplus)(\mu^2m_\oplus^2)=\mu\Lcal^3\Tcal^{-2}G_\oplus m_\oplus^2. The denominator lifts as (μL2T−1ℏ⊕)(LT−1c⊕)=μL3T−2ℏ⊕c⊕(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1}\hbar_\oplus)(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1}c_\oplus)=\mu\Lcal^3\Tcal^{-2}\hbar_\oplus c_\oplus(\mu\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-1}\hbar_\oplus)(\Lcal\Tcal^{-1}c_\oplus)=\mu\Lcal^3\Tcal^{-2}\hbar_\oplus c_\oplus. The factors cancel.

proposition: Schwarzschild radius scales as a length. For rs=2Gm/c2r_s=2Gm/c^2r_s=2Gm/c^2,

rs,H=Lrs,⊕.r_{s,\Hcal}=\Lcal r_{s,\oplus}.
TeX source
r_{s,\Hcal}=\Lcal r_{s,\oplus}.

Again μ\mu\mu cancels.

proof. Substitution gives

2(L3μ−1T−2G⊕)(μm⊕)L2T−2c⊕2=L2G⊕m⊕c⊕2.\frac{2(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2}G_\oplus)(\mu m_\oplus)}{\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-2}c_\oplus^2}=\Lcal\frac{2G_\oplus m_\oplus}{c_\oplus^2}.
TeX source
\frac{2(\Lcal^3\mu^{-1}\Tcal^{-2}G_\oplus)(\mu m_\oplus)}{\Lcal^2\Tcal^{-2}c_\oplus^2}=\Lcal\frac{2G_\oplus m_\oplus}{c_\oplus^2}.

A clock supplies a time relation, a wavelength supplies a length relation, and a dimensionless coupling supplies a consistency relation. None of these quantities fixes the mass unit unless a mass-bearing invariant has first been declared.

Conditional phase-rigidity-tension hypothesis

definition: Phase-rigidity tension. A phase-rigidity tension Tph\Tph\Tph is a positive variable of dimension

[Tph]=EL=MLT−2.[\Tph]=\frac{E}{L}=MLT^{-2}.
TeX source
[\Tph]=\frac{E}{L}=MLT^{-2}.

Its invariance is an additional mass-sector hypothesis, not an output of length--time calibration. It is not identified with a Standard Model Higgs parameter, a Yukawa coupling, a QCD trace-anomaly contribution, a QCD string tension, or a fundamental string tension.

definition: Phase-tension invariance hypothesis. Consider the additional hypothesis

Tph,H=Tph,⊕\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\Hcal}=\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\oplus}
TeX source
\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\Hcal}=\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\oplus}

No result in the preceding sections implies this equality; it requires independent empirical or microscopic justification.

proposition: Consequence of phase-tension invariance. Under reference,

μ=T2L=F(q).\mu=\frac{\Tcal^2}{\Lcal}=F(q).
TeX source
\mu=\frac{\Tcal^2}{\Lcal}=F(q).

Consequently,

mP,H(Tph)=F(q)mP,⊕.m_{P,\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=F(q)m_{P,\oplus}.
TeX source
m_{P,\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=F(q)m_{P,\oplus}.

proof. Because [Tph]=MLT−2[\Tph]=MLT^{-2}[\Tph]=MLT^{-2}, the lift gives

Tph,HTph,⊕=μLT2.\frac{\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\Hcal}}{\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\oplus}}=\mu\frac{\Lcal}{\Tcal^2}.
TeX source
\frac{\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\Hcal}}{\mathfrak T_{\mathrm{ph},\oplus}}=\mu\frac{\Lcal}{\Tcal^2}.

The invariance condition sets this ratio equal to one, so μ=T2/L\mu=\Tcal^2/\Lcal\mu=\Tcal^2/\Lcal. Substituting T=ρF(q)\Tcal=\rho F(q)\Tcal=\rho F(q) and L=ρ2F(q)\Lcal=\rho^2F(q)\Lcal=\rho^2F(q) gives reference. Equation reference follows from reference.

corollary: Conditional transformed constants. Substituting μ=F(q)\mu=F(q)\mu=F(q) into reference--reference gives

cH(Tph)=ρc⊕,ℏH(Tph)=ρ3F(q)2ℏ⊕,GH(Tph)=ρ4G⊕.c_{\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=\rho c_\oplus, \qquad \hbar_{\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=\rho^3F(q)^2\hbar_\oplus, \qquad G_{\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=\rho^4G_\oplus.
TeX source
c_{\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=\rho c_\oplus,
\qquad
 \hbar_{\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=\rho^3F(q)^2\hbar_\oplus,
\qquad
 G_{\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=\rho^4G_\oplus.

These are components of the dimensional map under an added hypothesis. They do not represent new measurements of the corresponding constants.

proof. Insert μ=F(q)\mu=F(q)\mu=F(q) from reference into cH=ρc⊕c_{\Hcal}=\rho c_\oplusc_{\Hcal}=\rho c_\oplus, ℏH=μρ3F(q)ℏ⊕\hbar_{\Hcal}=\mu\rho^3F(q)\hbar_\oplus\hbar_{\Hcal}=\mu\rho^3F(q)\hbar_\oplus, and GH=ρ4F(q)G⊕/μG_{\Hcal}=\rho^4F(q)G_\oplus/\muG_{\Hcal}=\rho^4F(q)G_\oplus/\mu. Cancellation gives reference. Since the calculation uses only a dimensional lift and the additional phase-tension invariance postulate, it has no independent empirical content.

Comparator boundaries

This section records non-identity boundaries only. The following standard structures are not used to prove, motivate uniquely, or empirically select the phase-tension branch.

QCD boundary..

QCD mass decomposition uses the QCD energy--momentum tensor, quark and gluon contributions, trace-anomaly terms, and renormalization conventions to analyze hadronic mass [citation]. The present branch does not model those contributions, does not compute a hadron spectrum, and does not identify Tph\Tph\Tph with a QCD trace-anomaly term, a QCD string tension, or a flux-tube tension. The QCD references are cited only to mark a comparator boundary.

Electroweak boundary..

The Brout--Englert--Higgs mechanism and related gauge-symmetry-breaking formulations provide the standard electroweak mass-loading language [citation]. In the present construction, the global phase scalar is not identified with the Standard Model Higgs doublet; no Yukawa matrix or Standard-Model-complete mass spectrum is constructed. This is the electroweak non-identity boundary used here [citation].

String-like boundary..

String and dual-resonance constructions provide standard tension and slope languages for extended-object spectra [citation]. The present branch does not identify Tph\Tph\Tph with a fundamental string tension, a Regge slope, a Nambu--Goto tension, or a worldsheet coupling. The comparison is dimensional and lexical only. Universal string/M equivalence, unrestricted holography, all-compactification claims, and unrestricted ultraviolet completion remain outside this construction [citation].

Numerical specialization and its evidential status

For illustration only, define

Hπ:q=34,ρ=π.H_\pi:\qquad q=\frac34,\qquad \rho=\pi.
TeX source
H_\pi:\qquad q=\frac34,\qquad \rho=\pi.

Using

au=149 597 870 700 m,R⊙N=695 700 000 m,\au=149\,597\,870\,700~{\rm m}, \qquad \RsunN=695\,700\,000~{\rm m},
TeX source
\au=149\,597\,870\,700~{\rm m},
\qquad
\RsunN=695\,700\,000~{\rm m},

one then obtains

x=0.004650467260962157,F3/4=0.3367857708787376,T=1.058043703626217,L=3.323942326489060.x=0.004650467260962157, F_{3/4}=0.3367857708787376, \Tcal=1.058043703626217, \Lcal=3.323942326489060.\nonumber

\Lcal=3.323942326489060.\nonumber

Using CODATA 2022 central readouts,

ℓP,⊕=1.6162550244×10−35 m,tP,⊕=5.3912464483×10−44 s,mP,⊕=2.1764343427×10−8 kg,\ell_{P,\oplus}=1.6162550244\times10^{-35}~{\rm m}, t_{P,\oplus}=5.3912464483\times10^{-44}~{\rm s}, m_{P,\oplus}=2.1764343427\times10^{-8}~{\rm kg},
TeX source
\ell_{P,\oplus}=1.6162550244\times10^{-35}~{\rm m},

t_{P,\oplus}=5.3912464483\times10^{-44}~{\rm s},

m_{P,\oplus}=2.1764343427\times10^{-8}~{\rm kg},

the dimensional transformation gives

ℓP,H=5.3723384861×10−35 m,tP,H=5.7041743593×10−44 s.\ell_{P,\Hcal}=5.3723384861\times10^{-35}~{\rm m}, \qquad t_{P,\Hcal}=5.7041743593\times10^{-44}~{\rm s}.
TeX source
\ell_{P,\Hcal}=5.3723384861\times10^{-35}~{\rm m},
\qquad
 t_{P,\Hcal}=5.7041743593\times10^{-44}~{\rm s}.

The mass readout remains

mP,H=μ (2.1764343427×10−8 kg).m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu\,(2.1764343427\times10^{-8}~{\rm kg}).
TeX source
m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu\,(2.1764343427\times10^{-8}~{\rm kg}).

If phase-tension invariance is additionally imposed,

mP,H(Tph)=7.3299211788×10−9 kg.m_{P,\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=7.3299211788\times10^{-9}~{\rm kg}.
TeX source
m_{P,\Hcal}^{(\Tph)}=7.3299211788\times10^{-9}~{\rm kg}.

These numbers are conditional evaluations of reference; they are not predictions of the theory. A statistical test of HπH_\piH_\pi must estimate (ρ,q)(\rho,q)(\rho,q) from calibration data not used to define the hypothesis, report the covariance or profile likelihood, and evaluate predictive performance on held-out observations. Without those steps, the numerical table has no evidential force.

Failure conditions and non-claims

The interpretation fails under any of the following conditions.

F0. Imported calibration-class failure..

If the CCL inverse problem fails its reconstruction, admissibility, or rank conditions, then numerical values of L\Lcal\Lcal and T\Tcal\Tcal are unavailable.

F1. Mixed-layer substitution..

If only c⊕c_\oplusc_\oplus is replaced by ρc⊕\rho c_\oplus\rho c_\oplus while ℏ⊕\hbar_\oplus\hbar_\oplus and G⊕G_\oplusG_\oplus remain fixed, the result is reference, not the common transformation reference--reference.

F2. Hidden mass closure..

Inferring μ\mu\mu without an independent mass-bearing observable contradicts reference.

F3. Branch hardening..

Treating phase-tension invariance as derived, unique, or empirical exceeds reference.

F4. Standard-sector collapse..

Identifying Tph\Tph\Tph with a Higgs/Yukawa object, a QCD trace-anomaly term, a flux-tube tension, or a fundamental string tension requires an explicit dynamical map absent here.

F5. Universalization..

The paper does not provide an SI replacement, a new measurement or redefinition of ccc, hhh, ℏ\hbar\hbar, or GGG, a derivation of those constants, a minimum-length or minimum-time theorem, a universal mass-origin theorem, a complete Standard Model spectrum, a QCD replacement, a string/M equivalence, a universal compactification theorem, or a UV completion.

Verification-ready algebraic contract

and for any positive invariant Q∼MaLbTcQ\sim M^aL^bT^cQ\sim M^aL^bT^c with a≠0a\ne0a\ne0,

μQ=L−b/aT−c/a.\mu_Q=L^{-b/a}T^{-c/a}.
TeX source
\mu_Q=L^{-b/a}T^{-c/a}.

proof. The first identity follows from C=(ρ2F)/(ρF)=ρC=(\rho^2F)/(\rho F)=\rhoC=(\rho^2F)/(\rho F)=\rho. The three square-root identities reduce to L2\sqrt{L^2}\sqrt{L^2}, T2\sqrt{T^2}\sqrt{T^2}, and μ2\sqrt{\mu^2}\sqrt{\mu^2}; positivity fixes the positive branch. Equation reference follows by solving μaLbTc=1\mu^aL^bT^c=1\mu^aL^bT^c=1 on the positive branch.

Topology does not remove dimensional non-identifiability

The compact scalar branch adds a coordinate-invariant target circumference Lχ=∮Meff(H) dHL_\chi=\oint M_{\rm eff}(\mathcal H)\,d\mathcal HL_\chi=\oint M_{\rm eff}(\mathcal H)\,d\mathcal H, but it does not select its value in Planck units. A field redefinition changes coordinate periods while preserving LχL_\chiL_\chi; a change of metrological units changes numerical representations while preserving all dimensionless observables. Neither operation supplies a mass modulus, a Planck-triad identity, or an empirical calibration.

Predictive dimensional linkage requires a common action that fixes the conversion functions before data are inspected. If qqq such parameters control m>qm>qm>q dimensionless readouts, their image has codimension at least m−qm-qm-q and obeys corresponding compatibility equations. Assigning an independent modulus to each readout saturates the observable rank and reproduces the non-predictivity theorem of this paper. Compact topology is therefore genuine global structure, but not a cure for scale underdetermination.

Microscopic closure and surviving prediction

The closure test for the conditional Planck-triad and mass-modulus readout is applied to a dimensionless observable vector y∈Rmy\in\mathbb R^my\in\mathbb R^m formed from fixed reference scales and the declared basket of dimensionless Planck-triad ratios, mass ratios, and metrology invariants. Let aaa range over the independent constitutive inputs comprising unit convention, compact circumference, modulus response, and mass calibration.

proposition: Functional saturation, finite closure, and sector admissibility. Suppose the unrestricted prediction map F:a↦yF:a\mapsto yF:a\mapsto y is continuously differentiable on a Banach space of constitutive inputs. If DaFD_aFD_aF is surjective and has a bounded right inverse at the calibration point, the unrestricted family is locally open in observable space and supplies no nonzero local equality restriction on yyy. Suppose instead that a single microscopic closure replaces aaa by finite parameters θ∈Rp\theta\in\mathbb R^p\theta\in\mathbb R^p, with profiled nuisance coordinates η∈Rq\eta\in\mathbb R^q\eta\in\mathbb R^q. If

J=DηFclDθFcl,rank⁡J=r<m,J=D_\eta F_{\rm cl}D_\theta F_{\rm cl}, \qquad \operatorname{rank}J=r<m,
TeX source
J=D_\eta F_{\rm cl}D_\theta F_{\rm cl},
 \qquad \operatorname{rank}J=r<m,

then there are m−rm-rm-r independent first-order restrictions

wTδy=0,w∈ker⁡JT.w^{\mathsf T}\delta y=0, \qquad w\in\ker J^{\mathsf T}.
TeX source
w^{\mathsf T}\delta y=0,
 \qquad w\in\ker J^{\mathsf T}.

If the rank is constant locally, these restrictions are tangent to a compatibility manifold of codimension m−rm-rm-r. For this sector, the finite closure is admissible only if only dimensionless invariants produced by one finite modulus model are compared, with unit rescalings quotiented out before rank evaluation.

proof. Split surjectivity gives a bounded right inverse RRR with DaF R=ImD_aF\,R=I_mD_aF\,R=I_m. The Banach-space submersion theorem then makes FFF locally onto a neighborhood of the calibrated observable vector. Any smooth equality holding throughout that image must therefore vanish on an open set and contributes no model-specific local restriction. Under finite closure, the attainable first-order variations are exactly the column space of JJJ. Its orthogonal complement is ker⁡JT\ker J^{\mathsf T}\ker J^{\mathsf T}, whose dimension is m−rm-rm-r by rank--nullity, which proves reference. The constant-rank theorem supplies the stated local manifold. The sector condition is necessary because dimensionful coincidences can be created by changing units and do not close the mass-modulus branch. Failure of that condition therefore rejects the proposed microscopic closure before parameter estimation can be counted as evidence for it.

Conclusion

For an identifiable CCL calibration (ρ,q)(\rho,q)(\rho,q), a consistent dimensional map gives

ℓP,H=ρ2F(q)ℓP,⊕,tP,H=ρF(q)tP,⊕,\ell_{P,\Hcal}=\rho^2F(q)\ell_{P,\oplus}, \qquad t_{P,\Hcal}=\rho F(q)t_{P,\oplus},
TeX source
\ell_{P,\Hcal}=\rho^2F(q)\ell_{P,\oplus},
\qquad
 t_{P,\Hcal}=\rho F(q)t_{P,\oplus},

while leaving

mP,H=μmP,⊕m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu m_{P,\oplus}
TeX source
m_{P,\Hcal}=\mu m_{P,\oplus}

with μ\mu\mu unidentified by length--time data.

The dimensionless-observable invariance theorem shows that these rescalings have no physical content by themselves. A genuine extension must change an independently testable dimensionless relation. Phase-tension invariance would imply μ=F(q)\mu=F(q)\mu=F(q), but it is an additional hypothesis. The specialization HπH_\piH_\pi supplies conditional numbers only and requires an independent likelihood analysis before it can be treated as evidence.
