Physics 2.0 — The One Particle Theory: a finite-cutoff single-primitive framework deriving the gauge couplings, the fermion mass spectrum, and emergent gravity from one energy anchor

Physics 2. 0 is a finite-cutoff framework in which the only primitive object is a single particle, the fp. The realized universe is modeled as an equilibrium fp medium; true vacuum is the literal absence of fp (nfp = 0), and matter is organized trapped absence bordered by coherent fp transport — a compressed dense seed for the charged lepton, trapped-void solitons for the quarks, and three solitons sharing one compression basin for a baryon. From one dimensionful anchor (the electroweak scale vEW) and a small set of forced dimensionless geometric constants (Kfp = sqrt (3/2), KB = 182/45), with no quantity tuned to its measured target, the framework derives the gauge couplings (sin² (thetaW) = 0. 231221, alpha^-1 (MZ) = 127. 927, alphaₛ (MZ) = 0. 11805), a Higgs pole mass of 125. 10 GeV from cooperative trimer locking, the charged-lepton and proton-to-electron mass ratios, the Koide relation as an exact identity with a derived rank-one contact-projector deviation, and Newton's constant to +0. 72 ppm — the third cumulant of the gravity readout being symmetry-forbidden rather than fitted. The full CKM matrix and CP phase follow from two independent geometric routes that agree to 0. 22 arcminute, giving the Jarlskog invariant at both route values (canonical J = 3. 12e-5, second route 3. 19e-5) as a cross-check rather than a single tuned number. Heavy-quark and top masses (mₜ = 172. 748 GeV) are obtained as target-blind scheme-readout results, and the cosmological background (OmegaLambda = CIR/3 = 0. 6847, H₀ = 67. 53 km/s/Mpc) as a derived infrared boundary coefficient. Two electroweak closures that were open in prior versions are resolved in this release. The weak mixing angle and inverse fine-structure constant are computed explicitly from the finite-cutoff Hamiltonian via the Schur complement of its node block (Sₑdge = HEE - HEN HNN^+ HNE), not posited; and the native Z pole (91. 5171 GeV) is carried to the measured mass (91. 1876 GeV) by a parameter-free active-aperture scheme map, with every term fixed upstream. Both are backed by an independently executable verifier operating on the included Hfp matrix data, and by two uniqueness theorems — a primitive source-lift uniqueness theorem for the electroweak source sectors, and an all-regulator operator-class uniqueness theorem closing the continuum-limit qualifier on the strong-CP operator-basis exclusion. The framework stakes sharp, falsifiable forward predictions: a normal-ordered neutrino sector with Sigma mₙu ~ 0. 0727 eV (consistent with oscillation-folded and dynamical-dark-energy cosmological bounds, in tension with the tightest LambdaCDM-conditioned limit), a null neutral-holonomy branch fixing deltaCP = 0 and mbb ~ 11. 13 meV, a parameter-free late-type galaxy rotation law y (z) = z K₁ (z) whose finite-envelope signature is predicted to appear in the anisotropic disk-quadrupole channel rather than in scalar weak lensing, a null framework contribution to the muon anomalous magnetic moment, and the small-radius branch of the proton charge radius (rₚ ~ 0. 841 fm). Each headline result lands close-but-not-exact, the intended signature of a forced rather than a tuned value, and the residuals are mixed in sign across sectors. This release is the submission-ready paper distilled from the full monograph (the hundreds-of-pages version released previously): a self-contained article presenting the ontology, the operator chain and physical projector, the electroweak source quotient, the mass and gauge sectors, emergent gravity and cosmology, and the conceptual resolutions, with eight figures, a readout-uniqueness ledger and input-accounting ledger that make the geometry-not-fit defense front-facing, and a predictions summary table. It is accompanied by complete supplementary material: two independently written verification scripts (102 and 68 checks) that recompute every headline number from the stated constants, a claim-to-check map, SHA-256 provenance ledgers, the explicit electroweak Hfp matrix payloads and Schur verifier, the two uniqueness-theorem documents, and a no-regression ledger recording the preserved boundaries and items explicitly not claimed. The manuscript states its open boundaries explicitly and does not overclaim: the publication claim does not require proving the Clay Yang–Mills mass gap (presented as a hardened candidate with named proof-grade obligations, not a theorem), completing an unconditional all-regulator constructive quantum field theory, finishing the external map-space validation of the CMB predictions (where percent-level residuals are reported as open), or deriving higher-loop scattering amplitudes. The closed and derived results stand independently of these future items. Released under CC-BY-4. 0.
