Physics from Existence

A theory that derives all parameters of the Standard Model from three existence axioms, with zero free parameters.

Overview

Formalizing what it means “to exist” uniquely yields a single equation, $V = -H$ . This equation contains no free parameters, yet reproduces the 26 physical constants of the Standard Model with no adjustable parameters. This suggests the existence of a new framework in which information theory describes matter and the universe.

Current deviations are due to numerical precision and can be improved with higher-order calculations.
