Single-author arXiv preprint claims all physics laws derive from integer ring axioms and rational values only

A lone preprint proposes deriving all fundamental laws from an algebraic axiom on integers and rational quantities. It predicts eight new particles and forbids monopoles, yet supplies no experimental match or peer review. Extraordinary claims here rest on untested methodology whose primary limitation is lack of independent reproduction.

The author, affiliated with the Russian Academy of Sciences, presents a matrix-algebraic method that assumes all physical quantities take rational values. From this single axiom set he derives two-index and four-index tensor equations claimed to reproduce Maxwell, Yang-Mills and gravitational dynamics in 3+1 dimensions as spin-1 and spin-2 fields, plus spin-3/2 and spin-1/2 fields in 2+1 dimensions. Eight new particles are predicted: four charge-less right-handed fermions, one spin-3/2 fermion and three massive spin-1 bosons.

No independent verification or peer-reviewed replication exists. The 1998 thesis origin and 2018 journal citation predate the 2026 arXiv upload; the work remains outside mainstream citation networks. Standard model derivations require experimental constants and renormalization procedures absent from the rational-value postulate.

If correct, the framework would falsify Dirac quantization of electric charge and eliminate magnetic monopoles, yet no quantitative match to measured particle masses or coupling constants is supplied. A strengthened test would require the derived masses and decay widths to match LHC or precision electroweak data within stated uncertainties.

Next steps include external groups coding the matrix axioms into symbolic software to check uniqueness and numerical consistency with known spectra.

⚡ Prediction

Zahedi: No magnetic monopole will be observed at any facility with sensitivity below 10^-16 monopoles per proton by 2030.
