Towards a Theory of Everything
One Field Theory
Electromagnetism Is All You Need.
Photon is fiction. Electron is knot.
What Is One Field Theory?
One Field Theory is a research programme in fundamental physics. It comprises nine papers proposing that the apparent complexity of fundamental physics emerges from a single electromagnetic field — the polarisable vacuum itself.
OFT aims to be a complete replacement for the Standard Model of particle physics and General Relativity — a Theory of Everything in the truest sense.
The series proceeds from four physical givens: three dimensions of space and one dimension of time exist and are not equivalent; causation propagates at finite speed; the vacuum is polarisable; and matter exists with specific, reproducible, measured properties.
The foundational paper introduces Clean Physics, establishing physical rigour as a counterpart to mathematical rigour. The papers that follow develop the physical account, keeping distinct what has been demonstrated under stated assumptions, what is proposed as a mechanism, and what remains to be calculated.
Work in progress — published live. One Field Theory is an active research programme, developed and released in the open. Papers are revised and re-released (with updated Zenodo DOIs) as the work advances, so you're reading it as it happens — expect ongoing changes and additions.

The Papers
The work is organised into a main curriculum and three supplementary tracks. Start wherever fits how you like to read.
Main Curriculum
The Nine-Paper Core
The theory itself, built as a curriculum — quantum mechanics, special and general relativity, particle physics, cosmology, and chemistry, each paper building on the last.
Read the curriculum →Foundational
Motivation & Method
Why the programme exists and the discipline it holds itself to — the clues that point to OFT, the method of clean physics, a catalogue of legacy pathologies, and a reading guide.
Browse foundational →Reference
The Formal Machinery
Developing the mathematical bridge from established physics to OFT, alongside a framework for auditing Bell-test experiments.
Browse reference →Companion
For the General Reader
A standalone tour of the Standard Model and its discontents — serious science under the jokes. The Higgs-Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Read the companion →Problem Scorecard
Tracking how OFT addresses the open problems of modern physics.
Status describes the type of resolution claimed; maturity describes how far the supporting work has progressed. The papers distinguish results demonstrated under stated assumptions, proposed mechanisms, and calculations still to be completed.
