MEG Theory

Start Here

For a reader encountering MEG for the first time, three papers provide the essential architecture:

The Vacuum Entanglement Kernel as the Common Origin of Physical Law — The consolidation paper. Synthesises the programme's results from ~55 papers into a single reference with the kernel-first architecture. Five channels, five lock equations, four axioms.
doi:10.5281/zenodo.20750208
Scalar Modular Coarse-Graining and the Noiseless 8_s Fibre — Derives gauge invariance from the scalar character of the kernel-to-spacetime projection. Establishes the Spin(8) structure group through Schur's lemma and the noiseless-subsystem condition.
doi:10.5281/zenodo.21129828
The Colour-Sector Mass Gap from the Vacuum Entanglement Kernel — Predicts the colour tunnelling scale (α₃ = 0.324, instanton size ρ_c = 0.10–0.16 fm, factor 2–3 from instanton phenomenology) and derives the topological charge (Q = 1 from the adjoint hedgehog, verified to machine precision). The programme's most recent paper.
