Geometric Origin of the Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment in the Zhang Effective Metric

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2) has been measured with unprecedented precision by Fermilab, but the Standard Model (SM) prediction remains subject to theoretical debate between data-driven and lattice QCD approaches. In this paper, we demonstrate that the rotational-order geometric unification framework provides a geometric contribution that can account for the historical tension under the data-driven SM baseline. Using the Zhang Effective Metric, we show that zero-point fluctuations of the internal S³ orientation field generate an effective geometric loop correction to the muon's magnetic moment. For a characteristic correlation length r_c ~ 10⁻¹⁸ m (comparable to the electroweak length scale), the predicted deviation Δa_μ accounts for the historical 2.5×10⁻⁹ tension under the data-driven SM baseline, while providing a falsifiable prediction for the lattice QCD baseline. This geometric explanation unifies flavor anomalies with the framework's cosmological and gravitational scales, requiring no new fundamental particles.

Abstract

The anomalous magnetic moment of the muon (g-2) has been measured with unprecedented precision by Fermilab, but the Standard Model (SM) prediction remains subject to theoretical debate between data-driven and lattice QCD approaches. In this paper, we demonstrate that the rotational-order geometric unification framework provides a geometric contribution that can account for the historical tension under the data-driven SM baseline. Using the Zhang Effective Metric, we show that zero-point fluctuations of the internal S³ orientation field generate an effective geometric loop correction to the muon's magnetic moment. For a characteristic correlation length r_c ~ 10⁻¹⁸ m (comparable to the electroweak length scale), the predicted deviation Δa_μ accounts for the historical 2.5×10⁻⁹ tension under the data-driven SM baseline, while providing a falsifiable prediction for the lattice QCD baseline. This geometric explanation unifies flavor anomalies with the framework's cosmological and gravitational scales, requiring no new fundamental particles.
