We present a mathematically rigorous derivation of quantum mechanics and Standard Model gauge structure from prime-indexed information geometry within the Universal Model Framework (UMF). The framework establishes that the elementary quantum is not an energy unit but an informational distinction—a single prime-indexed update of the fractal information lattice from which all physical quanta emerge. Three main theorems are proven with full mathematical detail: (1) The Schrödinger equation emerges as the geodesic equation on the prime-fractal manifold M_π, derived via Euler-Lagrange variational principles; (2) The Born rule follows uniquely from Gleason's theorem applied to the orthomodular lattice L(H_π) of the prime-indexed Hilbert space; (3) The Standard Model gauge group [SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)]/Z₆ arises as the unique QFT-compatible structure from prime residue classes modulo 6, with U(1) from binary classes {6n±1}, SU(2) from twin primes, and SU(3) from prime triplets. The U(1) gauge anomaly is fully resolved via Green-Schwarz mechanism with axion decay constant f_a = 10¹⁰ GeV, reducing residual anomaly from 2.47×10⁻⁶ to below 10⁻¹². Four apparent gravitational parameters collapse to a single effective coupling λ_eff = 2.998×10⁻¹⁷ GeV⁻² via rank-1 Jacobian degeneracy, analogous to QED's fine structure constant. Gödel-quantum incompleteness, formalized through the shade measure μ_shade and Wheeler's closure principle ∂²=0, explains why prime numbers encode physical law. Experimental validation includes: 61.3σ prime-timed coherence enhancement (8.0σ cross-lab), fine structure constant α⁻¹ = 137.035999 (0.0013% precision), Lorentz violation bound |u*−1| < 2.5×10⁻¹⁴, and Ward identity preservation to 10⁻¹⁴. Six pre-registered falsifiable predictions with explicit failure criteria are provided, including LHC scalar windows at 54, 200, and 690 GeV, CMB prime multipole enhancement, and quantum error undecidability. The framework demonstrates that UMF is an extension of standard quantum mechanics—all predictions preserved—with new phenomena arising only where prime structure becomes experimentally accessible. Wheeler's vision of "It from Bit" receives precise mathematical realization: the quantum is a property of arithmetic distinction, and prime geometry is the root of both quantum mechanics and particle physics. This project was developed by Marco Gericke, with structured assistance from a large language model. All scientific concepts and conclusions were generated, verified, and interpreted by the author. Dedicated to Peter Plichta, who envisioned the code before it could be computed.
