This PDF document, titled "Rotational Substrate Field Theory (RSFT) Revised Unified Record v2, " is a comprehensive theoretical physics preprint dated April 2026. It presents a unified model that derives fundamental physical constants and laws from first principles, using only two primitives: the substrate wave speed (c) and the electron mass (m₄). The theory posits that the universe's foundation is a sub-Planckian substrate that self-organizes into a Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice. Key highlights include: Vortex Particles: Matter is modeled as topological defects (toroidal vortex rings) within this substrate. Emergent Laws: Lorentz invariance, gravity, and electromagnetism are described as emergent properties of the substrate's mechanical and elastic stability conditions. Fine Structure Constant: The document identifies a two-form gauge coupling mechanism that derives 1/153, characterizing the gap to the observed 1/137 as a geometric computation. Hierarchy Resolution: It addresses the 10^45 hierarchy problem between electromagnetic and gravitational forces through geometric ratios. Cosmological Constant: The theory reproduces the observed value of without free parameters by calculating residual dark ocean pressure. The record identifies four specific "Open Problems" (O1–O4) intended to refine calculations for the fine structure constant, proton mass, baryon asymmetry, and the reduction of the theory to a single primitive (c).
