Evolutionary Attractors of Fundamental Constants: A Dynamical Explanation of the Fine‑Tuning of the Universe

Abstract

This article offers a dynamical explanation of the fine‑tuning problem of fundamental constants within the Infinite‑Dimensional Multiverse Model (IDM). The author argues that the values of the fine‑structure constant α, proton mass mₚ, cosmological constant Λ, and other constants are neither random nor "fine‑tuned," but rather represent evolutionary attractors – stable states of a dynamical system toward which our Universe is driven by an infinite number of weak interactions with neighbouring universes. The paper introduces the concept of a space of fundamental constants, where each universe is a point. The net influence of all neighbouring worlds creates an effective potential whose minimum determines the equilibrium values of the constants. This mechanism explains why constants have their values, allows small variations, and yields testable predictions for cosmological observations. As an additional hypothesis, the article considers the possibility of unintentional influence of pre‑atomic life (PAL) on the position of attractors. Just as cyanobacteria changed Earth's atmosphere, PAL in neighbouring universes – or even inside our own – could, through its life activity, modify fundamental fields and shift the equilibrium values of constants. This does not invalidate the core physical model but complements it with a biological dimension. The article presents four core testable predictions (constant variations, Λ dynamics, CMB anomalies, correlations) and additional ones for the PAL hypothesis. The model moves fine‑tuning from the realm of "miracle" to physics and serves as a foundation for navigational maps of the multiverse.
