Reveals compact arithmetic representation of energies in physics, chemistry, and biology, suggesting deep geometric links.
Experimental data for atomic masses (AME2020), ionization energies (NIST), covalent bond energies, semiconductor band gaps, DNA base pairs, protein interactions, fundamental biochemical reactions, as well as the training of a ternary neural network, admit a compact arithmetic representation of the form: E = Λ · 4ᵐ · ∑ₖ₌₀¹⁴ εₖ βₖ where Λ is a scale constant (7.726 MeV for masses, 5.950 eV for chemistry and biology), m an integer, εₖ ∈ \-1,0,1\, and βₖ are 15 universal constants of empirical origin. For 5811 ionization energies, the mean relative error is 0.00065% and 78.5% of the points are predicted with an error better than 0.001%. The mean relative error for 295 nuclear masses is 0.0287%. The βₖ numerically coincide with 15 of the 48 non‑degenerate roots of the exceptional lattice Λ₇₂, suggesting a deep geometric link that remains to be elucidated.
