The OFT Curriculum
Nine papers developing One Field Theory from first principles — from electromagnetic foundations to a full synthesis.
Physical vs Mathematical Rigour
PublishedOFT Alpha is the foundational paper of One Field Theory — a nine-paper series proposing that the apparent complexity of fundamental physics emerges from a single field — the polarisable electromagneti…
The Wave Sector
PublishedThe double-slit experiment presents a fundamental tension: electromagnetic radiation propagates as coherent waves, yet produces discrete, localised, particle-like detection events. This paper proposes…
Special Relativity and Inertial Mass
PublishedEinstein postulated that the speed of light is constant and derived the consequences — time dilation, length contraction, Lorentz invariance. This is mathematically correct but ontologically backwards…
Gravity as Vacuum Refraction
PublishedEinstein's General Relativity treats gravity as the curvature of spacetime. This is mathematically elegant but ontologically mysterious. This paper shows that "spacetime curvature" is a mathematical f…
Monopolons I: The Electron
PublishedThis paper resolves the "point particle" crisis of the Standard Model by identifying the electron as a finite toroidal soliton — the Electric Monopolon — formed from self-confined electromagnetic flux…
Monopolons II: The Proton and Hadrons
PublishedThis paper investigates the magnetic sector of matter — hadrons, quarks, and the strong force — within the OFT framework. Quarks are not separate particles but inseparable structural features of one c…
Cosmology
DraftModern cosmology rests on two mysterious entities: dark matter (84% of matter) and dark energy (68% of the universe). Both are invisible, undetected directly, and invoked solely to explain observation…
Physical Chemistry
DraftQuantum mechanics treats atomic structure through Schrödinger's wave equation — a formalism that produces correct energy levels and orbitals but offers no physical mechanism. This paper derives atomic…
Synthesis and the Bell Inequalities
DraftPhysics has fragmented into incompatible domains: quantum mechanics for the small, general relativity for the large, chemistry for the molecular, cosmology for the vast. This paper presents the comple…
Supplementary Papers
Technical extensions to the curriculum — formal mathematics, experimental audits, and in-depth analyses outside the main nine-paper series.
Stop Calculating and Think
PublishedBefore the formalism: a guided tour of the anomalies and questions the orthodoxy taught us to ignore. Across the wave sector, special relativity, gravity, the electron and proton, cosmology, and physi…
The Method of Clean Physics
PublishedThe reference statement of the Method of Clean Physics — a discipline by which all of physics ought to be judged, the One Field Theory series held to it no less than anything else. It states each rule…
A Catalogue of Legacy Physics Pathologies
PublishedA diagnostic index, not an argument. Each entry names a place where legacy physics substitutes a label, a postulate, or a mathematical artefact for a physical mechanism — the single recurring failure …
How to Become a GREAT Theoretical Physicist
PublishedA reading guide, not an argument. Theoretical training has two orthogonal axes: mastering the existing map — honouring 't Hooft's celebrated curriculum, with a fast on-ramp through the canon — and lea…
The Mathematics of OFT
PublishedFor every piece of legacy mathematical physics there exists an isomorphic OFT formalism that preserves all predictions while grounding every symbol in physical mechanism. The mathematics is never lost…
Bell/CHSH Strategy & Giustina Audit
PublishedA reusable framework for auditing Bell-test experiments from OFT's perspective. Part A provides a general strategy applicable to any Bell/CHSH experiment. Part B applies that strategy to the Giustina …
