Microscopic Calibration of the Thermodynamic Cascade: Computational Evidence of Fractional Scaling in the Quantum Vacuum

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: Standard Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) assumes a perfectly three-dimensional vacuum (D = 3). The Thermodynamic Cascade framework proposes that space operates as an emergent energy cascade characterized by a fractional dimension (D = 2.70285) and a dimensional transition constant (Λ = 0.29715). This paper computationally cross-validates this framework against the Casimir effect, predicting a modified scaling exponent and a measurable excess vacuum force at extreme micro-scales.
