Abstract

This paper proposes a geometric unification of the Standard Model and Cosmological Constant by modeling the universe as a kinematic 4-dimensional lattice based on the 24-Cell Octaplex. We demonstrate that the seemingly arbitrary parameters of physics are direct consequences of projecting this self-dual 4D geometry into 3D space. Specifically, we show that the Kepler Conjecture sphere-packing limit (approx. 74%) corresponds to the observed Active Energy density (Dark Energy + Baryonic Matter), while the interstitial void fraction (approx. 26%) corresponds to Dark Matter. Furthermore, we derive the mass hierarchy of fundamental particles as fractal scalings of the lattice fracture (24N) and lattice strain (H0), predicting the Top Quark and Electron masses to within 1-2% of experimental values. This model reduces the free parameters of the universe to a single input: the lattice velocity c.
