The Origin of Matter

Abstract

Every atom in every reader of this page is a leftover. For each billion quark–antiquark pairs the early universe made and unmade, one quark survived; that residue is all the matter there is. This study asks where the residue came from, and answers with a chain that has no adjustable number in it.

The answer is geometric. In GG-Theory the sixth dimension is a compact phase circle and the fifth an open scale interval. Loops close only on the circle, so every physical phase — the whole content of CP violation — is a record of going around it, and the circle admits only a five-fold set of phases. CP violation exists because the flavor alphabet built on that set is chiral, and no choice was available to make it otherwise. The same argument says why the strong and electromagnetic forces do not violate CP: their circuit closes with nothing left over.

The quark sector cannot pay for us — it falls ten to twelve orders of magnitude short — so what remains is the neutrino route, where the two Majorana phases turn out to be fixed parities rather than dials. The heavy neutrinos sit at 3.85 TeV, set by a ledger integer chosen for reasons that have nothing to do with baryogenesis.

The chain lands at η_B = 7.34×10⁻¹0 against a measured (6.12 ± 0.04)×10⁻¹0: a +20% central deviation with nothing fitted, at a declared band of ×3^±1. The full flavored Boltzmann integration, which assumes least, lands at 2.8^+2.0_-1.2×10⁻¹0 — consistent at 1.3σ, with a factor-2.2 deficit charged to standard transport effects. That deficit is the number to watch. The same rule that permits this history forbids proton decay outright, and both halves are killable: by DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande on the leptonic phase, by tonne-scale double beta decay, and by a proton decay that must never be seen.
