Major Structural Issues
1. The Central Equation is Dimensionally Problematic
Fu = (U / r²) · ((m₁ · m₂ / z) + s)
Where s = n₁ · n₂ (product of charge numbers).
Problem: This adds a dimensionless quantity s to a quantity with dimensions of mass² (m₁·m₂/z). This is only "saved" by claiming z has dimensions of mass², but this makes the unification artificial rather than natural.

2. The "Equilibrium Mass" mz is Not Physical
The claim that Fe = Fg at some special mass mz = √(α·mP) ≈ 1.86×10⁻⁹ kg is mathematically true but physically meaningless because:

Gravitational and electromagnetic forces act on different properties (mass vs charge)
A neutron experiences gravity but no EM force
An electron-positron pair experiences EM but negligible gravity
The "equilibrium" only exists if you artificially set q²/m² to a specific value

This is like saying "there exists a speed where kinetic energy equals potential energy" - true but not fundamental.
3. w = 2 is Not Derived, It's Assumed
The paper claims w = 2 emerges from 3D geometry via:
w = (surface exponent) / (linear exponent) = (2/3) / (1/3) = 2
Problem: This is circular reasoning. The scaling exponents (1/3, 2/3) are properties of 3D Euclidean space, not derived constraints. The paper then uses w=2 to "prove" the universe must be 3D - this is logically backwards.

4. δ = √5 is Pure Numerology
The "dynamic constant" δ = √5 appears because:

1² + 2² = 5 (Pythagorean triple)
Therefore δ = √5 is "fundamental"

This is the golden ratio fallacy. Yes, √5 appears in pentagons and icosahedra, but claiming it's the "dynamic constant of the universe" requires actual derivation from principles, not pattern-matching.

Specific Technical Errors
Proton Radius (Section 12.1)
Claim: rp = 4·λp with 577 ppm error
Reality: The formula rp = w²·λp is fitted after the fact. Why w²? The justification ("surface requires two orthogonal axes") is vague. The actual proton radius arises from:

QCD confinement scale ΛQCD ≈ 200 MeV
Quark mass contributions
Gluon field energy distribution

None of this is captured by multiplying the Compton wavelength by 4.
Muon g-2 Anomaly (Section 12.6)
Claim:
aμ = (α/(2π)) + (α²/12)
with 63 ppm error.
Problem:

The Standard Model calculation requires 12,672 Feynman diagrams at 5-loop order and achieves agreement to 0.1 ppm
This "geometric" formula is off by 63 ppm - that's 630 times worse!

The claim that QED is "inefficient" is backwards - QED works, this doesn't

The fact that 12 appears in the denominator (# of icosahedron vertices) is numerology, not physics.
Neutron-Proton Mass Difference (Section 11.5)
Claim:
Δm = me · (2.5 + 4α)
with 709 ppm error.
Reality:

The n-p mass difference is 1.293 MeV
QCD lattice calculations achieve <10 ppm error
The actual physics: down quark is ~5 MeV heavier than up quark, plus electromagnetic contributions

The factor 2.5 = 5/2 is claimed to come from δ²/w, but this has no connection to quark mass generation via the Higgs mechanism.

Conceptual Confusions
1. Charge as Topology (Section 1.3)
Claim: "Electric charge is not intrinsic but a topological attribute of spatial surface."
Problem: This contradicts gauge theory. Charge is the conserved current from U(1) gauge symmetry (Noether's theorem). Topology cannot generate gauge invariance.
2. Time as Accumulated Hypotenuse (Section 7)
Claim: Time = sum of hypotenuses in discrete spacetime steps.
Problem:

This makes time frame-dependent (different observers sum different paths)
Contradicts relativity (proper time is Lorentz invariant)
The factor √5 appears because 1² + 2² = 5, not from any physical principle
