The Core Idea
The starting point is a vacuum distinguishability kernel — a measure of how distinguishable the vacuum state is from itself across spatial separations. This kernel, equipped with four axioms (identification, modular response, the variational principle, and the gradient readout), determines the geometry of spacetime, the gauge structure of matter, and the constants of nature.
The projection from the kernel to spacetime observables produces five channels — gravitational, quantum, gauge, flavour, and Higgs — which compress spectrally into three categories:
The faithful part of the projection produces gravity — spacetime geometry, curvature, and the Einstein field equations emerge from the variational principle applied to the projected entropy field. In the spectral representation, this is the pole of the vacuum's partition function: the smooth, collective accumulation of all modes.
The non-faithful part produces quantum mechanics — interference, measurement, the Born rule, and black hole thermality arise from the distinguishability deficit between kernel and projected descriptions. Spectrally, these are the zeros: the frequencies at which the projection fails to transmit.
The gauge, flavour, and Higgs channels produce the forces and matter structure — the internal fibre is invisible to the scalar projection, making local frame orientation unphysical and establishing gauge invariance as a derived consequence. The gauge group SO(8) is itself derived from the axioms' two compact cycles. Spectrally, this is the smooth Euler bulk: each prime contributing its own bounded, invertible factor.
The framework is described in detail on the Framework page. The programme currently spans approximately 100 papers, available on Zenodo.
Ten Problems, One Theory
Modern physics has ten great unsolved problems: quantum gravity, dark matter, dark energy, the matter-antimatter asymmetry, the hierarchy problem, the black hole information paradox, the strong CP problem, QCD confinement, grand unification, and the nature of time. MEG addresses all ten from the same four axioms — eight with full derivations, two with mechanisms derived and quantitative details under development. The key insight: these are not ten separate solutions. The same ℤ₃ topology that solves the strong CP problem also produces three generations. The same Projection Theorem that resolves the information paradox also derives the Born rule. The same entropy field that replaces dark matter also derives Newton's constant and the dark energy fraction.

Recent Developments
The native origin of SO(8) — The programme's oldest open question is resolved: the gauge group SO(8) is derived from the axioms' two compact cycles (thermal and dyadic), whose character groups are capped at ℤ₂ by the DHR statistics theorem and the Segal-Shale-Weil theorem, giving a universal charge group V₄ = ℤ₂ × ℤ₂. The Central-Triality Realisation Theorem then forces Spin(8) uniquely. SO(8) is no longer a primitive — it is the native realisation of two unavoidable doublings. See the native SO(8) paper.
Gravity from the pole, quantum mechanics from the zeros — The vacuum's partition function ζ has exactly two kinds of analytic structure: a pole (gravity) and zeros (quantum mechanics). The classical limit — gravity dominates by 10⁵ — is derived from the variational principle's selection of a smooth ground state, not imposed. The Zero-Locus Non-Coercivity Theorem and the Order-of-Zero Transmission Law are proved. See the spectral dictionary paper.
Blind recovery of the Riemann zeros — Under a frozen, pre-registered protocol whose pipeline never evaluates the zeta function, a finite-resolution observer of the MEG vacuum blindly recovers the first six Riemann zero ordinates: six detections, zero false positives, 615× discrimination against a zero-free control, and a confirmed packet-shift law. See the Fisher scar measurement paper.
The Riemann Hypothesis as a symmetry requirement — Within MEG, the Riemann Hypothesis is decomposed into three conditions: a standard modular symmetry (self-adjointness), a derived zeta-transfer bridge (T₃ = ζ(½+iD), verified to 10⁻¹⁴), and a MEG-specific deficit-completeness conjecture. If all three hold, every non-trivial zero of ζ must have real part exactly ½. See the RH capstone paper.
