A Reader Guide for the QGD / MPDT Framework: Quantum-Geometry Dynamics and Minimal Physically Derivable Theories

This Reader Guide provides a structured entry point to the Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) programme and its metatheoretic framework, Minimally Physically Derivable Theories (MPDT). Developed between 2024 and 2026, the programme consists of one comprehensive book and thirty-one papers, all derived from two minimal physical axioms: Axiom 1 (Discrete Space): Space is constituted by finite, discrete preons(−) — it is not a background in which things exist. Axiom 2 (Kinetic Matter): Matter is constituted by preons(+) carrying intrinsic momentum ĉ as a primitive property. From these axioms, the programme derives a wide range of results across physics, cosmology, quantum foundations, and the philosophy of mathematics, including: the three-dimensionality of space, the arrow of time as categorical irreversibility, a realist account of Bell correlations via instantaneous gravitational effects, dissolution of the black hole information paradox, superconductivity as forbidden momentum exchange, a physical constructivist proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, and Physically Derivable Set Theory (PDST) as a replacement for ZFC. The guide is organized into five thematic tracks (Foundations, Space/Matter/Law, Quantum Mechanics Reconsidered, Cosmology & Empirical Contact, and Mathematics/Logic), each with paper summaries, reading guidance, key terms, and cross-references. It also includes a minimal reading path of seven core documents, a glossary of QGD/MPDT terminology, and a complete DOI list. This document is intended for philosophers of physics, cosmologists, foundational physicists, and philosophers of mathematics interested in minimal axiomatic approaches, discrete ontology, and physical constructivism.

Abstract

This Reader Guide provides a structured entry point to the Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) programme and its metatheoretic framework, Minimally Physically Derivable Theories (MPDT). Developed between 2024 and 2026, the programme consists of one comprehensive book and thirty-one papers, all derived from two minimal physical axioms: Axiom 1 (Discrete Space): Space is constituted by finite, discrete preons(−) — it is not a background in which things exist. Axiom 2 (Kinetic Matter): Matter is constituted by preons(+) carrying intrinsic momentum ĉ as a primitive property. From these axioms, the programme derives a wide range of results across physics, cosmology, quantum foundations, and the philosophy of mathematics, including: the three-dimensionality of space, the arrow of time as categorical irreversibility, a realist account of Bell correlations via instantaneous gravitational effects, dissolution of the black hole information paradox, superconductivity as forbidden momentum exchange, a physical constructivist proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, and Physically Derivable Set Theory (PDST) as a replacement for ZFC. The guide is organized into five thematic tracks (Foundations, Space/Matter/Law, Quantum Mechanics Reconsidered, Cosmology & Empirical Contact, and Mathematics/Logic), each with paper summaries, reading guidance, key terms, and cross-references. It also includes a minimal reading path of seven core documents, a glossary of QGD/MPDT terminology, and a complete DOI list. This document is intended for philosophers of physics, cosmologists, foundational physicists, and philosophers of mathematics interested in minimal axiomatic approaches, discrete ontology, and physical constructivism.
