Project summary

I am Godbless Arhin, the author of Geometry of Cosmic Tension (GCT) I: Emergence of Time, Dimensions, and Energy from the Absolute Void. According to the raw API data, the paper has surpassed 1,000 total downloads, with unique downloads expected to exceed 439 once the system updates on the CERN-backed repository Zenodo. This corresponds to a view-to-download conversion rate exceeding 93% within 7 weeks, achieved without external promotion. This work proposes a pre-geometric framework in which time, dimensions, and energy emerge from underlying relational dynamics. It represents the first installment of an ongoing research program. The full manuscript of part I is available here. Up to this point, validation has been primarily analytical due to limited computational resources. The key question now is whether this framework produces physically consistent matter and gravitational behavior when translated into computation. This is the objective of Phase II.

What are this project's goals? How will you achieve them?

This phase focuses on testing whether baryonic matter and gravitational behavior emerge consistently from the framework in the post-spacetime regime.

In Part II, the framework is extended to examine how the internal scalar-layer structure embedded within spacetime during its emergence gives rise to baryonic particles such as protons, neutrons, and electrons, as well as substructures including quarks. The objective is to derive particle properties such as mass, spin, and radius in a reproducible manner consistent with known physical constraints. The goal is also to recover gravitational behaviors within the framework in the observable spacetime regime.

At the completion of this phase (18–24 months), the project is expected to produce:

• A complete Paper 2 manuscript detailing the formation of baryonic matter from first principles

• A set of explicit, testable predictions relating particle properties (mass, spin, charge, structural constraints) to underlying topology

• Reproducible simulation code implementing the scalar-layer dynamics and particle formation process

• Documented comparisons between model outputs and known physical constraints

These outputs will be made available for independent verification.
A key feature of this framework is its falsifiability: incorrect assumptions in the underlying topology or dynamics will lead to inconsistencies with observed particle properties, providing a clear and testable path for validation or rejection.

Execution Plan and Timeline

Months 0–6:

• Formalization of scalar-layer dynamics and development of the initial simulation framework.

Months 6–12:

• Early-stage particle formation simulations, focusing on identifying stable configurations.

Months 12–18:

• Extraction of particle properties (mass, spin, charge relationships) from stable structures.

Months 18–24:

• Validation against known physical constraints, followed by finalization of Paper 2 and public release of simulation code.

How will this funding be used?

The requested funding will support the following components:

1. Professional Infrastructure: High-Performance Compute System [$12,000]

Primary Workstation:

A high-performance desktop workstation equipped with an NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24GB VRAM), AMD Ryzen 9 7950X processor, and 128GB DDR5 RAM.

Estimated cost: ~$8,000.

Mobile Workstation:

A portable high-performance workstation (e.g., RTX 4090 laptop-class system with Intel i9 processor and up to 64GB RAM).

Estimated cost: ~$4,000.

The desktop system will function as the primary simulation engine, while the mobile system will act as a verification interface and for portability.

2. Cloud Compute (Scalable GPU Access) [$15,000]

Required to complement local hardware for large-scale simulations that exceed local memory and GPU limits..

3. Personal Runway (24 months) [$16,800]

$700/month × 24 months.

This will provide uninterrupted full-time focus without distraction.

4. Personnel: Adversarial Audits [$60,000]

Two PhD physicists (specializing in differential geometry) will be contracted to critically evaluate and attempt to falsify the theory. Their reports will be made public for transparency.

5. Data, Software & HPC [$13,200]

• Mathematica & Maple licenses

• Cloud compute integration

• Secure data backup systems

6. IP & Publication [$5,000]

• Intellectual property protection

• Open-access publication in a respected journal.

7. Power & Infrastructure Stability [$8,000]

High-capacity UPS systems, voltage regulation, and backup power solutions to ensure uninterrupted long-duration simulations and protect sensitive compute hardware.

8. Data Storage & Redundancy [$5,000]

High-capacity network-attached storage (NAS) with redundancy for simulation data, backups, and reproducibility.

9. Connectivity & Data Access [$3,000]

Reliable high-speed internet and backup connectivity to support cloud computing, collaboration, and data transfer.

10. Collaboration & Travel [$7,000]

Travel support for presenting work, engaging with collaborators, and facilitating independent expert audits.

11. Contingency [$5,000]

Reserved for unforeseen computational or hardware requirements.

This budget supports the full development, testing, and validation of the framework within the proposed timeline.

Who is on your team? What's your track record on similar projects?

I am the Principal Investigator for the GCT framework. This research is conducted full-time and represents the direct continuation of independently developed work presented in Part I, including its mathematical structure and conceptual foundation. Two PhD Physicist will be contracted to falsify the theory as mentioned above.

What are the most likely causes and outcomes if this project fails?

The primary risk is that certain predicted structures may not fully align with observed particle properties. However, even in such cases, the project will still produce:

• A formally defined framework for matter emergence

• Computational tools for modeling scalar-layer dynamics

• Constraints that refine or rule out specific theoretical assumptions

This ensures that meaningful scientific output is produced regardless of outcome.

How much money have you raised in the last 12 months, and from where?

To date, $0 has been raised from external sources. The entire research of GCT Part I were entirely self-funded. This current proposal for Part II is the first request for external capital to scale the theory.
