Key Points

  • The aim is to derive the Fine Structure Constant geometrically without using prior measurements as input.
  • Constructed dimensional action coefficient A0 using geometric principles starting from π.
  • Defined coefficients to create a quartic balance equation P(x) with fixed parameters.
  • Identified the unique positive real root of the quartic equation.
  • The derived value of the fine structure constant is α=0.0072973525643199214730777403670980468956159640240703.
  • The reciprocal of α is α−1=137.0359991772160237478893219008909381598430809109487.
  • This geometric derivation aligns with the measured fine structure constant within the current CODATA uncertainty.

Abstract

This work presents a direct geometric derivation of the Fine Structure Constant. Starting from the circular constant ππ, the construction builds a dimensional action coefficient A0=π+π2+4π3. A₀=+²+4³. A0=π+π2+4π3. From that, three coefficients are fixed: b1=124, b2=38π3, c4=π12. b₁=124, b₂=38³, c₄=12. b1=241, b2=8π33, c4=12π. These define the quartic balance equation P (x) =1−A0x+b1x2+b2x3−c4x4. P (x) =1-A₀x+b₁x²+b₂x³-c₄x⁴. P (x) =1−A0x+b1x2+b2x3−c4x4. The polynomial has exactly one positive real root. The root is. . . α=0. 0072973525643199214730777403670980468956159640240703…_ = 0. 0072973525643199214730777403670980468956159640240703α=0. 0072973525643199214730777403670980468956159640240703… with reciprocal α−1=137. 0359991772160237478893219008909381598430809109487…_^-1 = 137. 0359991772160237478893219008909381598430809109487α−1=137. 0359991772160237478893219008909381598430809109487… The Geometric derivation is within the measured fine-structure constant within current CODATA uncertainty. No measured fine-structure value is used as an input. The result follows from the geometric coefficient chain and the unique positive root of the quartic.
