Frontier Ledger: UHM vs the Field
A mature theory must compete where others already predict. UHM's structural prohibitions (T-296 no second doublet [H]; T-297 no gauge , stratified by T-329 — none in the doublet sector [C at (Cl)], none at any energy [H]; the FE-uniqueness without leptoquarks — [H] in the axis picture, [C at (Cl)] through T-326; ) are not silence — at every live frontier they commit UHM to a definite prediction, usually the boldest one on the table. Where T-297 or the FE-uniqueness carries a row, the prediction is the stake of a hypothesis, not a consequence of a theorem (it was presented as a theorem until 2026-09-25): exact Standard-Model emptiness where competitors expect signals, and definite positive signals elsewhere (O-sector relic, axion, proton decay, Majorana ). Each row is falsifiable; several have already been graded by experiment.
| # | Frontier | Competitors predict | UHM predicts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Muon | SUSY/2HDM//leptoquark contributions explain the (g−2) anomaly | Zero BSM contribution [H ← T-297, FE-uniqueness; T-296] (read "[T ← T-296,297]" until 2026-09-25): experiment must converge to the full lattice SM value | Lattice HVP (BMW-class) already drifts toward SM ✓ open |
| 2 | LFV: , , | Many BSM: rates near current bounds | Neutrino-loop floor only (): MEG-II, Mu3e, Mu2e see nothing [H ← no new bosons (T-297, FE-uniqueness) or scalars (T-296)] | open (any signal falsifies) |
| 3 | Lepton universality | Leptoquark/ models predicted deviations | Exact universality [H ← FE without X,Y; T-297] (read [T] until 2026-09-25) | LHCb 2022 returned to SM ✓ post-factum pass |
| 4 | Electron EDM | SUSY/2HDM: –cm | EDM desert: no new CP phases without a second doublet ⇒ SM [T-consequence + [C] phase-completeness] | ACME/JILA bound — desert holds ✓ open |
| 5 | Ranges from forbidden (Dirac) to large | Allowed, Majorana (see-saw, derived GeV) with normal hierarchy ⇒ in the meV band: null for LEGEND/nEXO, signal for the generation after [C] | open; exact = ready-input computation (task) | |
| 6 | Proton decay | Minimal SU(5): yr (partly dead) | yr [C]: Hyper-K sees nothing; megaton class needed | open ✓ consistent with SK bound |
| 7 | WIMP direct detection | WIMPs at XENON/LZ sensitivity | Permanent null: DM = O-sector Wimpzilla GeV + axion neV (candidates) | nulls keep arriving ✓ open |
| 8 | Higgs self-coupling | SM exact; BSM: various | – [C] — invisible to HL-LHC, resolvable at FCC | open |
| 9 | Neutrino hierarchy | Both orderings on the market | Normal (from spectral ratio) | JUNO will grade this within years |
| 10 | Light sterile neutrinos | LSND/MiniBooNE-class hints | None exist [T ← ]: anomalies must dissolve | MicroBooNE already deflating ✓ open |
| 11 | Dilepton resonances (,) | GUT/string spectra | Permanent null at any energy [H] (T-297; a gauged near the seesaw scale would put a beyond any collider, so nulls do not test it). Stratified by T-329: no in the doublet sector [C at (Cl)]; none within collider reach if breaks at the seesaw scale | LHC nulls ✓ open |
| 12 | Charged Higgs | 2HDM/MSSM: within HL-LHC reach | Does not exist [H ← T-296] (read [T-296] as a theorem until 2026-09-25) | open (discovery falsifies UHM at ) |
The ledger's content is not exhausted by "falsifiable in principle". Set against the reach of funded and planned experiments, the twelve rows sort into three groups — and only the last is decidable soon.
| Prediction | Reach of the relevant experiment | Verdict on timing |
|---|---|---|
| yr | Hyper-K reaches yr | 2–3 orders beyond reach; needs a megaton class not yet planned |
| in the meV band (normal ordering) | LEGEND-1000 / nEXO reach – meV | below reach: the next generation sees the same "emptiness" |
| GeV; -relic at GeV | no direct probe at these scales | not directly testable |
| neV ( GeV) | GUT-scale axion searches | plausibly reachable in the 2030s |
| Normal neutrino mass ordering | JUNO, DUNE | decidable within years — one honest bit |
| Rows 1–4, 10–12 (prohibitions) | LHC / MEG-II / Mu3e / Mu2e / LZ … | any positive signal falsifies; null results merely keep the block alive |
Read together with the prohibition rows, the honest summary is: the theory forbids essentially everything that could be seen in the next fifteen years, predicts positively what cannot be seen in them, and stakes one decidable bit (the neutrino ordering). This is a real, but narrow, exposure — and it is the strongest reason to treat the physics sector as a research programme rather than a confirmed derivation.
Reading the ledger. Rows 1–4 and 10–12 are prohibition-driven: they follow from the same three structural results — of which T-297 and the FE-uniqueness are hypotheses [H] since 2026-09-25 — so one confirmed BSM discovery in any of them breaks the whole block — UHM is maximally exposed, which is what falsifiability means. Rows 5–9 are positive UHM numbers with named experiments. Post-factum passes (row 3; the deflation trends in 1 and 10) are graded honestly: predictions written after the data count only as consistency, never as discovery.
