| contents | <p>Working document v6.0. A framework in which spacetime begins as a unified field under the conformal group SO(2,4). Symmetry breaking to the Poincaré group ISO(1,3) releases the dilatation mode as the free expansion component driving inflation. Progressive suppression by Standard Model massive fields produces the observed cosmological constant with no free parameters beyond the 3+1 DOF split. A prediction for the electroweak mass scale M_EW = v/2 = 123 GeV is derived, from which the Higgs mass (125.1 GeV with top loop correction), W mass, Z mass, and sin²(theta_W) follow. A universal perturbation scale epsilon ~ 0.018 is identified. A convergence observation is recorded with an independent causal set framework (10.5281/zenodo.18988808) — no formal connection claimed. Developed in dialogue with Claude (Anthropic).</p> |
