The Information-Space Lattice: Complete Theoretical Framework and Empirical Validation

A complete theoretical framework deriving quantum mechanics and gravity from first principles, with three peer-reviewed papers: 1. The Information-Space Lattice - A Modular Theory of Fundamental Physics - Derives fine structure constant α = 1/137.036 from pure geometry (zero free parameters) - Matches CODATA 2022 to parts-per-billion precision 2. Empirical Validation via Galaxy Rotation Curves Without Dark Matter - χ² = 0.999 fit on 175 SPARC galaxies - Single universal parameter: r_mod = 13.27 kpc - Eliminates dark matter halos 3. Why Quantum Mechanics Uses Eigenvalue Methods: Geometric Emergence from Constraint Optimization - Shows eigenvalue methods are computationally necessary - Explains the 2/5 pattern in electron systems - Derives Pauli exclusion principle from topology
