r_p = 4·ƛ_p·(1 - α/(4π))
Red flags:
Why "4" times the reduced Compton wavelength? The number 4 appears twice (in 4·ƛ and 4π), suggesting it was chosen to make things work out.
"Tetrahedral structural limit" is asserted without derivation. Why tetrahedra? A tetrahedron is 3D—why would the proton radius (a measured charge distribution extent) involve tetrahedral geometry?
"Spherical field projection loss" of α/(4π) has no physical mechanism. How does a "projection loss" yield this specific fraction?
The fit is suspiciously good (3 ppm) for a formula with at least two free choices (the coefficient 4, and the form of the correction).
4. Muon Anomaly
a_μ = (α/(2π)) + (α²/12) + (α³/5)
This mimics QED perturbation theory—but incorrectly:
The actual QED expansion is:
a_μ = (α/2π) + C₂(α/π)² + C₃(α/π)³ + ...
Where C₂ ≈ 0.765857... and C₃ involves thousands of Feynman diagrams calculated over decades.
The author's version:
First term: α/(2π) (this is the Schwinger term, known since 1948)
Second term: α²/12 — This should be ~0.765857(α/π)² ≈ 4.1×10⁻⁶, but α²/12 ≈ 4.44×10⁻⁶. Wrong coefficient.
Third term: α³/5 ≈ 4.25×10⁻⁸ — The actual third-order contribution is much more complex.
