Abstract

We present a framework that, within a controlled effective field theory, yields a first-principles derivation of the fine-structure constant α, consistent with precision measurements. This result emerges from a geometric charge–length equivalence fixed at the Planck scale, requiring no experimental input for the elementary charge or α itself. From the same principles, the model’s stability conditions predict exactly three fermion generations, and a scalar-modified gravitational potential reproduces flat galactic rotation curves without particulate dark matter. 

These phenomena are derived within a quantum-consistent effective field theory where particles arise as composite excitations of quantized internal vector displacements, stabilized by a universal scalar field. 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 presents the classical sector of the theory, its analytic closures, and the numerical benchmarks required for testing with current facilities.
