Microscopic completion of the QCD vacuum-energy program: sequestering, dimensional transmutation, and the prediction of Newton's constant

EN: A sequestering-based microscopic completion closes the program by relating Newton’s constant to the QCD vacuum block and hidden-sector dynamics This manuscript is part of a series of 17 papers (A–S). For a compact self-contained guide to the full program, including epistemic levels, falsification roadmap, and all DOIs, see the program summary: https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.19218767 Abstract The series of companion manuscripts in this program connects QCD vacuum correlations to the observed dark-energy scale, but leaves Newton's constant as an external input. We show that the strongest microscopic candidate currently known for closing this last step is a sequestering/4-form completion. The logic factorizes…
