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.
