Why We Are Sponsoring This Research

The Selection-Stitch Model offers a unified, topological explanation for Dark Energy, Cosmic Inflation, and the Hubble Tension without invoking new exotic particles. It derives the mass of Dark Matter via volumetric displacement and predicts a distinct gravitational signature for Black Hole decay. However, extraordinary claims require rigorous verification.

IDrive® is establishing the SSM Research Fund to provide the resources necessary for:

High-fidelity lattice simulations

to verify the 13/12 porosity boost.

Observational analysis

of existing JWST and DESI data for SSM signatures.

Theoretical stress-testing

of the polycrystalline vacuum hypothesis.

Our Goal

To confirm or falsify the geometric mechanisms proposed in the SSM.

Eligibility

Who can apply for the 2026 cycle.

Institutions Physics and Cosmology departments at accredited universities.
Researchers Principal Investigators (PIs), Post-doctoral fellows, and Graduate research groups.

Resources Provided

Support available to selected teams.

Financial Grants Unrestricted funding for research time, equipment, and publication costs.
Compute Credits Access to storage and cloud compute resources for heavy simulation workloads.

Key Predictions

Expansion
The 13/12 Boost

As the universe evolved from a solid "Shielded" phase ($N=12$) to a porous "Mesh" phase ($N=13$), expansion accelerated by 8.3%. This matches the gap between Early and Late universe measurements.

Topology
Dark Matter Mass

Dark Matter is identified as a $4_1$ topological knot (Figure-Eight) with a derived mass of 0.88 GeV.

Mechanics
Dynamic Dark Energy

Acceleration is driven by a "Repair Mechanism" ($V \propto S^{1.5}$) healing cosmic voids, not a cosmological constant.

Author's Note (Raghu Kulkarni)

How to Explore the Selection-Stitch Model (SSM)

The papers hosted here present a novel geometric framework for fundamental physics, deriving mass, gravity, and particle identity from the properties of a discrete vacuum lattice.

The Best Way to Engage with This Research:

While these documents are rigorous, the most effective way to deeply understand the SSM and its implications is to interact with the data directly. We encourage you to use modern AI tools to act as your personal research assistant.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1

Download the Research Papers

Download the full suite of PDF documents available on this site. These cover the derivations for the entire particle spectrum, the proton-electron mass ratio, and the nature of Dark Matter.

2

Upload to Your Favorite LLM

Platforms like Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude, or xAI Grok are excellent at synthesizing complex theoretical physics. Upload the PDFs directly to the chat interface.

Ask Critical Questions

Don't just read—test the model. Copy and paste prompts like these to see how the SSM compares to established science:

Compare the SSM's geometric derivation of the Muon mass against the Standard Model's empirical measurements. How accurate is the prediction?
Does the SSM's prediction for Dark Matter mass align with recent astronomical constraints or WIMP search results?
Explain the derivation of the Proton-Electron mass ratio using the topological concepts described in the papers. Is the math consistent?
How does the SSM resolve the 'Hierarchy Problem' compared to standard theories like supersymmetry?
By using an LLM, you can fact-check the derivations, explore the geometric logic step-by-step, and see exactly where this new framework aligns with or challenges established physics.

Ready to test the geometry of the universe?

Submit your research proposal. We are looking for rigor, curiosity, and the willingness to ask fundamental questions.

The Selection-Stitch Model is an open-source theoretical framework. All simulation code and derivations are available for public scrutiny.
