GDU posits that space-time is not an empty stage, but a Temporal Substrate—a continuous geometric plane. Everything in existence is a topological distortion of this substrate.
Unlike standard models where forces split "spontaneously," GDU defines the split as a Programmed Cascade. As the universe cools, the Unified Force follows the Feigenbaum constant (δ ≈ 4.669), bifurcating in a deterministic sequence into the Strong, Weak, and Electromagnetic forces.
GDU suggests that the universe is Self-Similar. In a fractal geometry, the math of the "very small" must mirror the math of the "very large." This scale-invariance explains why quantum entanglement exists—it is the result of points remaining connected at a sub-Planckian level on the Temporal Substrate.
The GDU demonstrates that an atom is not "different" from a galaxy; it is simply the same geometric pattern occurring at a higher resolution of the substrate. This resolves the Hierarchy Problem: Gravity isn't weak; it is simply the low-frequency tail of the fractal.
Scenario: If the universe is fractal, we should be able to derive cosmic data from subatomic constants.
The Experiment: Take the mass of a single Hydrogen atom and multiply it by the fractal scaling factor derived from the bifurcation map's attractor (the point where chaos becomes order). In GDU, this result should mathematically predict the orbital velocity of a typical galaxy without the need for "added" dark matter mass.
Implication: This proves that Dark Matter is not a "particle" to be found, but a Geometric Shadow—the non-integer remainder of the fractal geometry of space-time itself.
Dark Matter is the 16th fermion in our SO(10) model—the Right-Handed Neutrino. It exists as a geometric knot that does not vibrate on the electromagnetic frequency of the Temporal Substrate. Furthermore, while the Planck Length is a human measurement limit, the geometry is a Continuum, allowing for infinite resolution below our threshold of observation.
The GDU theory marks the transition from probabilistic physics to Geometric Determinism. By understanding the Programmed Chaos of our origin, we can predict that while our current window of stability is long-lasting, the nature of chaos allows for future bifurcations. We are the observers of a beautifully knotted, self-similar manifold.
