Frontier Ledger: UHM vs the Field
A mature theory must compete where others already predict. UHM's structural prohibitions (T-296 no second doublet, T-297 no gauge , , FE-uniqueness without leptoquarks) are not silence — at every live frontier they force a definite prediction, usually the boldest one on the table: 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 [T ← T-296,297]: 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 [T ← no new bosons/scalars] | open (any signal falsifies) |
| 3 | Lepton universality | Leptoquark/ models predicted deviations | Exact universality [T ← FE without X,Y; T-297] | 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 [T-297] | LHC nulls ✓ open |
| 12 | Charged Higgs | 2HDM/MSSM: within HL-LHC reach | Does not exist [T-296] | open (discovery falsifies UHM at ) |
Reading the ledger. Rows 1–4 and 10–12 are prohibition-driven: they follow from the same three structural theorems, 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.
