Abstract

These three volumes comprise the "Unified Coherent Edition v51" of Rotational Substrate Field Theory (RSFT), a theoretical physics framework founded by Anthony James Bell that aims to derive all physical constants and observables from only two primitives: the substrate wave speed (c) and the electron mass (mₑ). The theory postulates that the universe is an infinite field of sub-Planck touching points that spontaneously organizes into a Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice. Volume I: Foundations, Framework & Key Results This volume establishes the foundational postulates and core master equations of RSFT. Key elements include: Foundational Postulates: Defines the "Substrate, " "Bell's Medium" (the fraction of points not phase-locked into the lattice), and "Vortex Particles" (stable topological defects). Core Master Equations: Presents four equations from which all subsequent derivations follow, including a "Velocity Budget" that derives special relativity and a central RSFT constant, k 2. 609606. Key Results Summary: Catalogs 247 independent observables, categorizing them as "CLOSED" (gap < 2%), "NEAR-CLOSED, " or "ADVANCED". Volume II: v51 New Derivations This volume details ten specific advances introduced in version 51 of the theory. Notable derivations include: Meson Mass: Achieved "CLOSED" status (0. 7% gap) using a self-consistent Dynamical Chiral Symmetry Breaking (DCSB) fixed-point iteration. Z Boson Width (ᵦ): Derived as 2. 497 GeV (0. 4% gap) by applying a three-loop Bell’s Medium (BM) phonon bubble chain to the Z self-energy. Charm Quark Mass (mc): Refined to 1. 2739 GeV (0. 07% gap) through three-loop QCD self-energy and strange-sea corrections. Cosmological Constant: Discusses the substrate Quantum Gravity (QG) leading term as a significant step toward closing the massive gap in vacuum energy predictions. Volume III: Complete Predictions, Open Problems & Unification Summary The final volume provides a comprehensive status report on the theory's predictive power. Complete Predictions: A master table of all 247 observables compared against PDG 2024 values, including the fine-structure constant (exact), the proton-to-electron mass ratio (<0. 001% gap), and the Hubble constant (0. 18% gap). Open Problems and Future Targets: Outlines the "v52 Programme, " which targets further precision in Higgs mass, light quark masses, and the full non-perturbative substrate QG correction to the cosmological constant.
