QDL Physics Institute
The QDL Physics Institute is an independent research program based in Huntley, Illinois, USA. Its purpose is to develop, formalize, and test the Quantized Dimensional Ledger (QDL) as a structural framework for dimensional closure, model admissibility, and falsifiable experimental inquiry.
Mission & Research Themes
Framework-first physics, from dimensional admissibility to testable structure.
The Institute’s mission is to:
- Develop QDL as a mathematically coherent dimensional-closure framework.
- Provide a structural admissibility layer upstream of fitting, simulation, and deployment.
- Investigate consequences for EFT structure, gravitation, metrology, and measurement integrity.
- Design falsifiable experimental tests across precision tabletop platforms.
- Maintain open, auditable records through public repositories and DOI-backed materials.
- Dimensional lattice structure and 3L + 2F representation.
- Closure-based admissibility for models, operators, and dimensional relations.
- Prediction filtering in EFT/SMEFT and related formal settings.
- Metrology and constants under ledger-based structural interpretation.
- Experimental discrimination through NV centers, resonators, metamaterials, and related systems.
Founder & Research Profile
Independent program leadership with a closure-first research agenda.
James D. Bourassa is the founder and director of the QDL Physics Institute and the developer of the Quantized Dimensional Ledger research program.
The work centers on a closure-first ordering: define the ledger structure, formalize admissibility, test implications for operators and measurement relations, and only then move to downstream applications.
The program spans dimensional ontology, EFT structure, metrology, model integrity, and experimental design.
The Institute frames QDL not as a replacement for established theories, but as an upstream structural screen on admissible representations. In that sense, the research program is methodological as well as physical: it asks whether dimensional structure imposes stronger constraints than standard homogeneity alone.
Core manuscripts are maintained as public preprints and DOI-backed records. Where applicable, supplemental materials, benchmark artifacts, and related program documents are released in forms intended to support independent audit and technical review.

Collaboration & Support
The QDL Physics Institute welcomes collaboration with researchers, experimental groups, and institutions interested in dimensional structure, measurement integrity, or falsifiable tests of the Quantized Dimensional Ledger framework.
The program also welcomes philanthropic or institutional support that enables continued development of open, DOI-backed research records and experimental benchmark studies.
