Universal Action. Spectral Derivation of Mass.

Authors: Jonatan P. Camargo;

Universal Action. Spectral Derivation of Mass.

Abstract

This work constitutes the direct continuation of the variational program initiated in, The Action As Fundamental Structure, Dynamic Compatibility, deepened in, Structural Consequences of the Principle of Universal Action, Global Phase, Action Constant and Stability, and formally structured in, Stationary Action, Variational Architecture, The Emergence of Geometry and Spectral Matter, in which accumulative action is assumed as a fundamental dynamic structure. Starting from the principle of dynamic compatibility of action, the global consistency of variational phases which implies the universality of the action constant, and the variational architecture that leads to the emergence of structural operators in discrete causal networks, it is demonstrated that variational stability naturally implies the definition of a structural operator associated with admissible graphs, \[ K=D-A, \] where $A$ is the adjacency matrix and $D$ the degree matrix. The analysis of small structural fluctuations leads to a spectral problem whose eigenvalues determine stationary structural frequencies. The variational identification between action and phase provides the energy relation $E=\hbar\omega$, while the relativistic relation $E=mc^2$ leads to the spectral expression for masses \[ \boxed{ m_n=\frac{\hbar}{c^2}\sqrt{\lambda_n},} \] in which $\lambda_n$ are the eigenvalues of the structural operator associated with graphs belonging to the class defined by the Principle of Geometric Spectral Stability. Appendix A establishes the explicit mathematical roadmap for the numerical realization of the formalism, including the combinatorial definition of the admissible class of graphs, spectral coherence, and the estimation of the structural scale necessary to support the observed mass hierarchy. Appendix B presents the first explicit numerical realization of the program: for an admissible graph with $N=55\,987$ nodes, an eigenvalue is obtained whose spectral value leads to the mass of the muon with a relative deviation on the order of $10^{-5}$, without using experimental masses as input data beyond the fixing of a single absolute scale. The derivation does not introduce fundamental masses as independent parameters, does not assume specific spectral forms, and does not use experimental ratios in the construction of the operator. The mass spectrum is determined exclusively by the spectral structure of the structural operator associated with admissible graphs. The complete quantitative determination of the leptonic and baryonic hierarchies is therefore reduced to solving the spectral problem in higher-dimensional discrete networks, defining a clearly specified mathematical and computational program as the natural continuation of this series of works.
