A microwave oven fills its box with a pattern of standing waves, and the hot spots are exactly half a wavelength apart. Melt chocolate in short bursts, measure the spacing, multiply by the oven's frequency, and you have the speed of light to within a few percent.
With a fish tank, 99% isopropyl alcohol, felt and a slab of dry ice you can watch muons from space streak through your garage. Parts list, build steps, and how to tell the tracks apart.
A lattice budget and a holographic budget for the same horizon, differing by a hundred and twenty-two decades. One of them has to give.
New preprint. Copenhagen and Everett have been treated as competitors for seven decades, with the Born rule as the wedge between them. This argues a conservation law removes the wedge.
A numerical coincidence I could not explain turns out to be the standard exponential suppression with the coupling pinned by the central charge.
A list of numbers I believed because I never added them. The correction was integers all along.
An honest map of everyone else working on many worlds, gravity and simulation evidence, with falsification criteria for each.
The synthesis of the whole architecture, now carrying a status label on every single entry.
Plebanski BF theory, a mass gap from the category, and the honest gap between BF and general relativity.
Making novelty a monotone rather than a slogan, so that no free operation can manufacture it.
What the dimensionality argument actually establishes, which is admissibility rather than optimality, and why the difference matters.
Spacetime as a growing set of events rather than a stage. The only approach here with both a measure and a dynamics.
A classical trig sum that fixes an eta invariant, and the place where this programme made an arithmetic slip.
Three completely different arguments about how much a horizon can compute, landing on the same number. That is worth pausing on.
The standard exponential suppression, and what happens when the coupling is pinned by a topological level.
Three WZW factors, three central charges, and a sum that later turns out to fix the vacuum energy exponent.
A one-line congruence that every Standard Model multiplet satisfies. It is real group theory, and it is weaker than it looks.
A worked calculation with the sine formula, and why an earlier table in this programme summed to the wrong number.
The single number the whole framework rests on, built up from three level-k categories with nothing fitted.
The claim is narrow: bounded systems stop discovering. Everything else in the programme follows from taking that seriously.
