CMB-S4 Science Case, Reference Design, and Project Plan

The (3+3) research programme posits that spacetime is six-dimensional with signature (+,+,+,-,-,-) — three spatial dimensions and three time-like dimensions — and that the third time-like dimension t_3 is compactified as a discrete two-sphere S^2 with 2^152 Planck-area cells. From this geometric starting point, together with the t_2 precession dynamics driven by the tribonacci constant, the programme derives 25+ observationally distinct phenomena without free parameters, spanning the Standard Model (fine structure constant at 7 ppb, proton-to-electron mass ratio at 0.008%, three fermion generations, strong CP, CP phases), quantum foundations (Born rule, Schrodinger equation, complex-valuedness,…
