QDL Physics Institute
The QDL Physics Institute is an independent research program based in Huntley, Illinois, USA. Its purpose is to develop, formalize, and experimentally test the Quantized Dimensional Ledger (QDL) as a unified dimensional-closure and model-admissibility framework. In this formulation, QDL functions as a prediction-filter and validation layer that constrains admissible terms, couplings, operators, and measurement relations prior to phenomenological fitting, anchored on a conserved Quantized Dimensional Cell (QDC) in a 3L + 2F basis.
Mission & research themes
Framework-first physics: from admissibility to testable structure.
The Institute’s mission is to:
- Establish QDL as a rigorous, mathematically coherent dimensional-closure and admissibility framework.
- Provide a framework-first validation layer that precedes phenomenology, data fitting, or numerical modeling.
- Embed the Standard Model, gravitation, EFT/SMEFT structure, and metrology into a common 3L + 2F ledger that closes onto a conserved QDC.
- Design and disseminate falsifiable experimental tests of QDL predictions across torsion balances, NV centers, cavity resonators, and metamaterials.
- Make derivations, ledger tables, and protocols publicly accessible and auditable via open repositories.
- Dimensional analysis and ledger geometry in a length–frequency basis, including the 3L + 2F Quantized Dimensional Cell and its geometric interpretations.
- Prediction-filter methods constraining EFT, gravity, constants, and precision metrology prior to model fitting.
- Technical rigor via ledger-constrained renormalization, operator pruning, and discrete RG structure.
- Real-world applications in metrology, engineering models, and measurement-pipeline auditing.
- Precision tabletop experiments as direct tests of QDL scaling laws and coherence criteria.
- Educational materials for teaching dimensional analysis using a length–frequency ledger and QDL methods.

Collaboration interests
Who the Institute is hoping to engage with, and how.
The Institute welcomes constructive engagement from:
- Journal editors and referees in gravitation, mathematical physics, EFT/SMEFT, and metrology, interested in dimensional-closure and prediction-filter approaches.
- Theorists working on effective field theories, SMEFT, scalar–tensor gravity, dimensional regularization, renormalization, or the ontology of physical constants.
- Researchers exploring structural constraints that precede phenomenological modeling, including alternative dimensional bases and closure conditions.
Collaboration is especially encouraged with:
- Experimental groups working on torsion balances, NV centers, cavity resonators, or metamaterials who are interested in testing QDL-specific scaling predictions.
- Metrology and standards laboratories seeking structured dimensional audits of constants, units, and measurement chains.
- Engineering and applied-physics groups interested in pre-verification methods for model and measurement integrity.
- Educators looking to incorporate length–frequency dimensional analysis and QDL-style ledger methods into curricula or laboratory courses.
