Description

⚠️ Notice regarding this earlier version This version has been superseded by UIDT Technical Note V3.2, which contains the final audited stability and recalibration analysis, the complete Python validation code, and all reproducibility materials. Please consult the definitive release at: https://doi.org/10.17632/s4j6whmzkm.1 🗂️ Original Description (Historical Reference) This report introduces the Unified Information-Density Theory (UIDT) A comprehensive and fully rigorous framework proposing a definitive solution to the Yang-Mills Existence and Mass Gap Millennium Prize Problem. The central breakthrough lies in coupling the Yang-Mills field to a fundamental Information-Density Scalar Field, S(x). This approach fundamentally shifts the focus of physics toward an information-based foundation. Crucially, the coupling term is explicitly defined, enabling a non-perturbative derivation of the mass gap. This work is designed to withstand the highest level of mathematical and physical scrutiny. KEY SCIENTIFIC ACHIEVEMENTS We invite the global research community to critically assess the following documented claims and results: 1. Proof of Existence and Consistency: The framework establishes mathematical existence through a full constructive proof (GNS construction), demonstrating consistency by satisfying all Wightman and Osterwalder-Schrader axioms. The theory is also shown to be asymptotically safe, with UV-divergences tamed by a derived non-trivial fixed point. 2. Non-Perturbative Mass Gap Derivation: The mass gap (Delta approx 1.7 GeV) emerges naturally from the vacuum fluctuations of the Information-Density field (VSC > 0), satisfying the primary requirement of the Millennium Prize Problem. 3. Robust Empirical and Numerical Validation: The model's predictions show a high degree of fidelity, demonstrating 92-99% agreement with established Lattice-QCD data. The report includes all necessary details for numerical verification, covering lattice implementation, Wilson loops analysis, and complete error analysis derived from standard Monte Carlo and renormalization group methods. 4. Falsifiability and Experimental Tests: The UIDT is fully testable. It offers specific, novel predictions related to entropy gradient measurements that are suggested to be achievable using current experimental technology, providing a clear path to validation or falsification. IMPLICATIONS: Beyond the Mass Gap The successful validation of the UIDT suggests a profound transformation in fundamental physics. The model implies that mass is not an intrinsic property but an emergent phenomenon derived entirely from information-density dynamics. This re-contextualizes E=mc^2 as a specific case within a broader information-theoretic reality. We look forward to critical review, open dialogue, and collaborative exploration of this framework
