Abstract

We present a pre-geometric framework that, within a controlled effective field theory, underlies a first-principles derivation of the fine-structure constant α consistent with precision measurements. In this construction a geometric charge–length equivalence is fixed at the Planck scale and feeds into the electroweak normalization developed in a companion analysis, so that no experimental input for the elementary charge or α itself is required. From the same principles, the model’s stability conditions predict exactly three fermion generations, and a scalar-coherence-modified gravitational potential reproduces flat galactic rotation curves without particulate dark matter.

Particles arise as composite excitations of quantized internal vector displacements stabilized by a universal complex scalar field, with the emergent gauge and gravitational sectors captured by a quantum-consistent effective field theory. The framework is rigorously falsifiable, predicting specific signatures including anisotropic gravitational lensing, environment-dependent neutrino oscillation parameters, and modulated gravitational-wave propagation in scalar-decoherent regions. This paper develops the classical sector of the theory, its analytic closures, and the numerical benchmarks required for testing with current facilities, while quantum consistency, electroweak normalization, and neutrino phenomenology are treated in companion works.
