Scale-Free N=1 SYM, Emergent Matter, and Induced Gravity
This preprint develops a 4D scale-free N=1 SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills framework in which massive matter states emerge dynamically and gravitational response is generated from the same quantum sector.We identify a key obstruction to predicting an absolute Planck mass from SYM alone: the Einstein-Hilbert counterterm remains independent. We therefore define a counterterm-insensitive stress-response observable, formulate a dimensionless matter-gravity ratio, derive its expected large-N scaling, and state the precise conjectures, falsifiers, lattice tests, and UV conditions required for a predictive theory.The paper is a priority-setting research note and roadmap, not a claim that quantum gravity or the Planck scale has already been fully derived.
