TERM Theory: A Triadic Generative Constraint on Dimensionless Coupling Strengths

Key Points

The framework demonstrates how stable interaction strengths arise from constrained geometric conditions, and triadic closure plays a key role.
The fine-structure constant is framed as a generative constraint rather than a directly derived constant, emphasizing theoretical foundations.
Observational analysis within the framework hints at potential connections to existing physical theories, highlighting structural constraints.
Implications suggest a new way to look at theoretical physics, encouraging further exploration of stable interaction models and their frameworks.

Abstract

This work is part of a foundational series within the TERM framework, leading to the analytical constraint of the fine-structure constant as presented in Paper. We propose a minimal generative framework, denoted TERM (Triadic Emergent RegulationModel), which formulates necessary structural constraints for the internal consistency of physicaltheories. Rather than deriving physical constants directly, TERM identifies proto-logical andgeometric conditions under which stable, self-regulating interaction strengths can exist. Withinthis framework, the inverse electromagnetic coupling constant is shown to arise as a constrainedconsequence of triadic closure, four-dimensional geometric baselines, and logarithmic regulatorysuppression. No claim of exact derivation is made; instead, the result is presented as a falsifiablegenerative constraint on viable theoretical structures.
