Ontological Resolution Theory: Canon v22.0 — Complete Unified Framework

Ontological Resolution Theory (ORT) derives all fundamental particle masses, coupling constants, and cosmological parameters from a single discrete substrate: a 4-dimensional Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice with coordination number k = 12. This Canon consolidates all results through version 22.0, incorporating the Fine Structure Constant derivation (Paper A), the Golden Descent unifying φ, e, and π (Paper D), the Forward Cascade (Papers B, E), the Inverse Cascade (Paper I), emergent gravity (Papers C, G, J), holographic entropy (Paper H), and the Universal Law of Information Rigidity (Paper D). Key results with zero free parameters: Fine structure constant: α⁻¹ = π⁴ + 4π² + (π−3) + 1/144 = 137.036 (accuracy 99.99997%) Heavy particles (t, b, Z, W, τ): accuracy 99.7–99.97% Medium particles (μ, e, H, c): accuracy 98.8–99.87% Light quarks (s, d, u): accuracy 91–99% (predicted by Information Rigidity Law) The document establishes that deviations between ORT predictions and experiment are not random errors but measurable properties of each particle's topological binding strength on the lattice — the Universal Law of Information Rigidity. Heavy, tightly bound defects show gaps of ~0.1%; light, loosely bound defects show gaps of ~5–9%. This hierarchy is monotonic with no observed violations across 17 independent measurements. Core claims: Reality is a 4D FCC lattice. Mass is information cost. Constants are geometry. Gravity is rewrite latency. Quantum mechanics is observer aliasing. Time is a discrete counter. Motion is illusion.
