Frontier Ledger: UHM vs the Field

Why this page

A mature theory must compete where others already predict. UHM's structural prohibitions (T-296 no second doublet [H]; T-297 no gauge Z′Z', 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; Ngen=3N_{gen}=3) 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 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta). Each row is falsifiable; several have already been graded by experiment.

Experimental reach: what any of this can decide, and when

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.

Normal neutrino mass orderingJUNO, DUNEdecidable 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.
