The Holographic Circlette: A Comprehensive Summary of 8-Bit Discrete Origins for the Laws of Nature
Abstract
Audit note. This synthesis paper inherits claims from the full corpus, three of which have been formally retracted or recharacterised by the framework's audit discipline (ANCHOR DRIFT entries M9, M10, K3, plus §15 items 86, 96, 142 revisions). These changes affect headline claims in the abstract, the §2.1 feature table, and the verifiable-claims list. The corrections below should be read as overriding any conflicting statements elsewhere in the paper. We summarise twenty-two interconnected papers that derive a broad swathe of fundamental physics from a single discrete structure: an 8-bit quantum error-correcting code on a 4.8.8 Archimedean lattice. With zero or at most one free parameter, we derive: charged lepton mass ratios (0.007%), the weak mixing angle sin^2(theta_W)=2/9, the CKM matrix, neutrino masses, the fine-structure constant alpha^{-1}~137.035999077 (3 ppb), the pion decay constant (0.7%), baryon octet splittings, dark energy w0=-3/4, the Planck mass (0.07%), and the exact spectral band structure of the continuous-discrete interface governing hadronic form factors. We list 35 verifiable claims and 12 testable predictions accessible to current or next-generation experiments. 2026-06-20 legacy canon revision: This is a canon-reconciled legacy version. Summary is stale after record reconstruction The paper retains its historical derivation trail but carries a 2026-06-20 canon revision note identifying current status and superseded claims.
