9.3 Proton Decay Lifetime

This article derives a geometric formula for the proton decay lifetime from the - coupling strength (Theorem 2.3.6.03) and the constraint release effect (Theorem 3.6.2.01). In Conjugate Spectral Geometry, the proton can decay — in contrast to the Standard Model where B-L conservation forbids proton decay. The decay lifetime is jointly determined by the -sector fixed-point weight , the grand unified coupling , the heavy scale , and the coding terminal : . The prediction years lies right near the current experimental lower bound.
