Q.C. Zhang From Relation to Reality

I work on two connected research series. Complementarity-First asks how much of physics can be rebuilt when a completed relation — rather than an object, a field, or a spacetime point — is taken as the primitive. Twistor Configuration Geometry asks whether the dimensionless constants are structural invariants of a combinatorial geometry on Penrose’s projective twistor space CP³. Complementarity-First supplies the relational foundation beneath TCG, and is the current focus.

Complementarity-First

18 records across two Foundational Releases. Release I (10 records) states the primitive and carries it into quantum foundations and finite/local gravity; Release II (8 records) extends the reconstruction through relational time and electromagnetism, stopping at the QED boundary. The governing rule is anti-flattening: each result records what had to be supplied rather than derived, and countermodels and negative results are kept at equal standing with the constructions. It is not a completed theory of physics.

Twistor Configuration Geometry

42 papers reading the dimensionless constants — α, Λ, α_G, Yukawa couplings, sin²θ_W and others — as chamber invariants, in the same sense that the dimension of a vector space is. The philosophical reading is the Configurable Universe.

Empirical anchor

Nine sub-percent algebraic relations among independently-measured constants, spanning 124 orders of magnitude across six physical sectors — none currently derivable from the Standard Model or general relativity.

Falsifiable prediction

A spin-1 mediated short-range fifth force at α_Y ≈ 1.88×10⁴, λ ≲ 5–10 μm — about 500× from current short-range gravity bounds. The framework also carries one no-go theorem (60σ on-shell weak-angle exclusion) and three structural constraints. See the Predictions ledger.

The corpus

60 records on Zenodo, CC-BY-4.0: 18 in Complementarity-First and 42 in Twistor Configuration Geometry — the latter a 38-paper arc (synthesis, framework architecture, empirical predictions, methodology) plus 4 adjacent workstreams. See the full list.
