The Patch We Called i
A QTT field note on the imaginary unit as a laboratory shorthand for a real J_w rotor, and on why Feynman’s path integral is a map rather than the source territory.

What Is “Here,” and What Is “There”?
On the electron here and there, the wrong aether test, and why a place in QTT is a completed event rather than a waiting box.

In the Box, Out of the Box
On what AI should think for us, what it must never think for us, and why every error in seven years of a public physics notebook stays on record.

Childhood Color-Glasses, and the Fights Between Labs
A high-school color question becomes a way to read the muon-vacuum disagreement between careful laboratories: same paper, different glass.

When Media Attention Makes Someone “Scientifically Important”
A QTT field note on Media Made Science, Hawking radiation, Bekenstein entropy without a Hawking constructor, and why untestable fame is not physics.

The Turtle: Observer of the Light
A QTT field note on the observer, light, and why SR’s speed limit becomes a finite address-ledger question about ticking, records, and handshake.

The Two Second Laws
Newton's second law and the thermodynamic Second Law share one finite-address ontology while reading distinct momentum, record, access, support, and source-volume ledgers.

Past Is Past. Gone Is Gone.
QTT separates the A1/A7 completed-record arrow from A2 endurance support, A3 source-volume creation, and the clock/access map that controls local readout.

The universe humans invented (and forgot they did)
A field note on the smooth continuum as a human-invented universe, the patches it forces, and why QTT starts from finite capacity instead.

It Is a Compass and It Is a Cross
Maison Valmy, Zenodo, and a logo that quietly contains all seven axioms — five drawn directly into the geometry, two folded into the nature of the figure itself.

The Tbilisi Method
I asked an AI to put on a classical physicist’s glasses, land cold on my Kerr paper, and say how bizarre it looks. It found a cathedral built to house a doorknob — and it was right.

Payam Was Right. I Still Wasn’t Satisfied.
A pool in Mardavij, a pair of legs that looked too short, and the forty-year itch that turned into a Quantum Traction Theory derivation of the Kerr constant.

Artian’s Universe Takes a 7.6% Cut — and the LHC Never Notices
Why QTT’s cos(pi/8) clock-visibility factor is not a speed limit: accelerators test ordinary Lorentz kinematics, while the 7.6% factor appears only in true two-clock reference-switch readouts.

How to Break General Relativity on a Tabletop
A tabletop QTT field note connecting the two-clock factor cos(pi/8), the pending Sagnac reference-switch, and Faraday/inverse-Faraday magneto-optic tests without overclaiming existing data.

Artian’s Origami
The numbers in QTT aren’t chosen, they’re creases in one folded sheet – and here’s how I get my brilliant, lazy AI study partner to find every one in the book.

Duct-Taping Theoretical Physics
A flying silver screen, a PhD friend with a proper drill, and the muon g-2 result: the difference between a patch that holds 30 seconds and a structure that stands.

Hamiltonian: Another step of the Turtle.
Assembling the QTT Hamiltonian from the pieces of the book: the laboratory operator as the access image of a deeper substrate ledger. Parameter-free.

The Coffee Room at CERN — Quantum Traction Theory
Where does mass come from? The standard answer is a swimming pool. I think it is a clock, and the clock now gives numbers back.
