Quantum Traction Theory sticks its neck out with two crisp, checkable falsifiers:


The Two Deal-Breakers

Falsifier A — The “lightest” neutrino isn’t light:
If future experiments find

(clearly and robustly), the simplest QTT neutrino pattern fails.

Falsifier B — The splitting ratio is off:
If the measured ratio of mass-squared gaps ever settles away from this number,

QTT’s minimal neutrino sector is falsified.

Why this is a the deal?

Most theories gives a lot of room to maneuver: extra knobs, hidden assumptions, “inconclusive” outcomes. Here, the target is a single clean number—a constant that comes from Artian Geometry and Axiom 1 of Quantum Traction Theory (π and a half-angle), not from fitting data. If nature doesn’t land on it, we pack up this part of the story.

What the symbols mean (30 seconds)

  • m1: the mass of the lightest neutrino state.
  • The boxed number 4\pi^2\cos^2(\pi/8): a prediction from Quantum Traction’s “two-clock” Artian geometry.

Where the evidence stands today

  • Current global fits (all oscillation experiments combined) put the ratio near 33–34.
  • The boxed prediction is 33.697.
  • That’s within current error bars—i.e., the prediction is alive and well right now.
  • As measurements tighten, we’ll either see the number converge (good for QTT) or drift away (game over for this minimal version).

How we’ll know (the experiments to watch)

  • JUNO (reactor neutrinos): ultra-precise \Delta m^2_{21}.
  • DUNE / Hyper-K (accelerator + atmospheric): nails \Delta m^2_{31} and the mass ordering.
  • KATRIN / Project-8 (beta decay) & cosmology: squeeze the absolute masses, pushing on m_1.

Why make falsifiers this sharp?

Because progress loves risk. A theory that can be wrong is a theory that can teach us something—either by passing a hard test or by showing us exactly where to look next.

Quick FAQ

Isn’t 33.697 just numerology?
No. It comes from a specific, one-step geometric projection in the theory (a half-angle from the “two-clock” map). There’s no fit parameter you can slide to make it work.

What if the data end up at 33.0 instead?
Then this minimal neutrino sector of QTT is falsified. Full stop.

Does this say anything about dark matter or cosmology?
For sure, this is the dip of the ice-burg. 😉


Shareable snippet

Two ways to kill it:
m_1\neq 0 or \dfrac{\Delta m^2_{31}}{\Delta m^2_{21}}\neq 4\pi^2\cos^2(\pi/8)=33.697.
No knobs. No excuses. Just data.

Coming next

That little “= ?” you may have seen in our other posts is not decoration. It points to a deeper unification we haven’t revealed yet. We’ll discuss “emergent Standard Model” in the next version of the book.
