Localisation from the Free Energy Principle on the Metric Bundle
Abstract
Paper VIII of the Metric Bundle Programme. Applies the Free Energy Principle to localisation on the non-compact metric fibre GL+(4,R)/SO(3,1). The FEP variational principle determines the effective volume V_eff = (2pi)^5/243, yielding a closed-form prediction for the gauge coupling: alpha_PS = 27/(128pi^2) ≈ 0.0214 (7% from observed 0.023), with zero free parameters. Also derives: cosmological constant consistency check (Lambda_obs implies L_obs ~ 80 microns, biological cell scale), and bare cosmological constant Lambda_bare = 33/2 M_P^2 (correct de Sitter sign).
