Quantum Spiral Theory: The Tetra-versal Mandala (v0.3.1, archival working draft and numerical audit)
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: This archival working draft preserves Manuel Sanzcaballero’s Quantum Spiral Theory, also described as the tetra-versal mandala and, in the associated review work, the Manuel Manifold Spiral (MMS). It presents his handwritten source sheet, rotating-object analogy, Archimedean energy diagram, assigned particle levels, exponential statistical weights, energon interpretation and four-branch construction. Michael VanBeuzekom formalized the source statements, performed numerical checks and prepared the technical editing and independent audit. The manuscript also contains his proposed reference-photon revision: the mark at θ = π is treated as an energy reference rather than a universal minimum photon energy. This removes the specified conflict with ordinary low-energy photons while retaining the original spiral and calibration. It does not establish the remaining physical interpretations. The original electron and proton assignments fail the precision comparison; their ratio discrepancy is independent of the overall energy scale. The basic-Higgs identification, physical units and dynamics, dark-sector interpretation, and physical status of the four branches remain unresolved. The dark-energy percentage comparison is explicitly conditional on the specified Planck 2018 flat-ΛCDM benchmark. This is a preservation and review record, not a claim of experimental confirmation, a replacement for the Standard Model, or a completed physical theory. The proposed photon revision is not represented as Manuel Sanzcaballero’s adopted position. The original formulation is dated 2007 by its originator; this deposit does not independently authenticate that historical date. Publication status: this archival working draft is deposited by Michael VanBeuzekom with authorization to publish on behalf of Manuel Sanzcaballero. Public release does not imply that Manuel has adopted the proposed reference-photon revision. AI assistance with transcription, calculation checks and typesetting is disclosed in the manuscript; AI systems are not authors.
