Title: The Symmetric Layered Model (SLM): A Mechanical Foundation for Unified Physics Author: Dennis Zetting Publication Date: February 14, 2026 (6: 52pm EST) License: Creative Commons Attribution 4. 0 International (CC BY 4. 0) Abstract / Description: This manuscript establishes the fundamental priority for the Symmetric Layered Model (SLM), a dual-layered manifold theory that replaces probabilistic field abstractions with a structural mechanical metric. Key Intellectual Priority Claims: Mass-Resonance Identity: The explicit derivation of the electron rest mass (0. 511 MeV) as the fundamental ground-state eigenfrequency of an inter-sector vacuum tether. The Stueckelberg Portal Scale: The identification of the 145 MeV energy scale as the stabilizing mechanical stiffness () of the vacuum manifold and the primary mediator of the Muon g-2 anomaly. Phase-Cancellation Mechanism: The resolution of the Cosmological Constant problem (10^120 error) via structural destructive interference between antipodal Z₂ symmetric sectors. Metric Gravity (G 1/T): The definition of the Gravitational Constant as the emergent inverse modulus of universal vacuum tension. Predictive Milestones: Specific, falsifiable predictions for the Belle II 145 MeV dark photon peak, the COSI boxy 511 keV morphology, and the X17 (17 MeV) first-harmonic vibration.
