ZENODO DESCRIPTION

 

FINAL CANONICAL INTERNATIONAL EDITION (VERSION 3.0)

This record presents the Final Canonical International Edition (Version 3.0) of
“The Law of Variable Inertial Mass (LVIM)”, a rigorously formulated, experiment-
anchored effective physical law proposing a minimal and testable coupling
between inertial mass and locally renormalized quantum-vacuum structure.

Version 3.0 fully supersedes all previous releases (V1.0, V2.0) and is designated
as the permanent archival reference for all future scientific citation,
replication, and experimental evaluation.

--------------------------------------------------
SCIENTIFIC SCOPE AND CONTRIBUTION
--------------------------------------------------

LVIM introduces a conservative, Lorentz-invariant, and EFT-consistent extension
of inertial dynamics, schematically expressed as:

m_i(x) = m_0 [ 1 + Σ α_n Φ(x)^n ],   Φ(x) → 0 in homogeneous vacuum

In this framework, inertial mass acquires a small, locally defined dependence on
renormalized vacuum structure, while exactly reproducing standard Newtonian and
relativistic inertia in the appropriate limits.

The framework:
• Preserves Lorentz invariance, CPT symmetry, conservation laws, and the Weak
  Equivalence Principle
• Does not modify gravity or cosmology and remains compatible with General
  Relativity and ΛCDM
• Is formulated strictly as an effective field-theoretic description with an
  explicit domain of validity and cutoff

--------------------------------------------------
EXPERIMENTAL ANCHORING AND FALSIFIABILITY
--------------------------------------------------

LVIM is explicitly falsifiable.

Primary experimental channel:
• Casimir-gradient–induced inertial shift with characteristic d^(-4) scaling

Secondary channels:
• Precision MEMS/NEMS oscillators
• Atom and neutron interferometry

Both positive detections and null results are scientifically meaningful.
Null results yield quantitative upper bounds on coupling parameters.

--------------------------------------------------
DOCUMENT STRUCTURE AND TECHNICAL RIGOR
--------------------------------------------------

• Complete canonical front matter with scope boundaries and non-claims
• Nine structured Parts covering foundations, formal law, dynamics, relativity,
  gravitation limits, experiments, falsification logic, and interpretation
• Seven technical appendices including mathematical derivations, renormalization
  analysis, sensitivity estimates, and reproducibility notes

The presentation is equation-driven, internally consistent, and reviewer-safe.

--------------------------------------------------
POSITIONING AND PURPOSE
--------------------------------------------------

• Addresses the conceptual question of the physical origin of inertia
• Proposes a minimal extension, not an alternative, to established physics
• Makes no technological, propulsion, or energy-extraction claims
• Intended exclusively for fundamental physics research and experimental testing
