In Binary Pulse Theory: Fine-Structure Constant across Levels
BPT explains itIn standard physics
About 1/137, the dimensionless strength of electromagnetism; why it has this value is unexplained.
In Binary Pulse Theory
Charge is a bit carried unchanged through every universe, so α follows the harmonic level; it comes out near 1/137 at ours. Read this way it is the fine-tuning constant.
The BPT terms behind it
The Fine-Structure Constant across Levels is how the strength of electromagnetism moves from universe to universe: with charge carried through unchanged, α = e²/(4πε₀ℏ𝒞→) falls as the quantum of action grows, as s⁻², α(⚚) = α♁ × (2f)^(2·(⚚♁ − ⚚)).
Fine Structure Constant Emergence is the book's illustration of the fine structure constant, α ≈ 1/137, as the ratio of the folded pulse function to its folding boundary at recursion level 137; the level 137 is chosen to match it, and the measured 1/137.036 is not produced by the recursion.
One Dial is the book's reading of fine-tuning: the constants physics treats as separate dials are, in Binary Pulse Theory, all set by one number, the harmonic level.
