QDL–SO10–1 Series Overview
The QDL–SO10–1 series applies QDL structural admissibility to an SO(10)-compatible grand-unification benchmark. The sequence proceeds from benchmark definition through low-energy phenomenology, stress testing, executable gauge closure, scalar-threshold closure, operator-level proton-decay exposure, flavor/leptogenesis hardening, and integrated capstone synthesis.
The series is not presented as a final theory of nature. It is an executable, falsifiable benchmark program designed to make QDL-based grand-unification claims auditable and reproducible.
Recommended reading order: start with the capstone Paper #9 for the integrated map, then Papers #5–#8 for the executable hardening details, and finally Papers #1–#3 for the original benchmark, phenomenology, and stress-test sequence.
Paper #1
Benchmark definition
Defines the initial QDL–SO10–1 SO(10)-compatible benchmark, including the symmetry-breaking chain, scales, thresholds, and first proton-decay exposure estimates.
Paper #2
Low-energy phenomenology
Extracts the low-energy phenomenological consequences of the benchmark, emphasizing indirect signatures, neutrino observables, proton decay, and the absence of broad light charged or colored remnants.
Paper #3
Robustness audit
Classifies the benchmark into robust, conditional, and revision-forcing features, with explicit comparison to alternative GUT containers and failure modes.
Paper #4
Historical perspective
The QDL Grand-Unification Benchmark in Historical Perspective
Situates the initial QDL–SO10–1 trilogy against SU(5), Pati–Salam, SO(10), supersymmetric GUTs, E6, string/F-theory constructions, and modern nonminimal scans. This perspective is now superseded by the integrated Paper #9 capstone.
Paper #5
v0.2 gauge closure
Revises the benchmark through executable gauge-running closure, exposing the original residual and establishing the hardened coupling target.
Paper #6
v0.3 scalar thresholds
Converts calibrated threshold closure into block-level scalar-derived threshold closure using a reduced scalar-threshold basis.
Paper #7
v0.4 proton-decay exposure
Replaces scaling-level proton-decay exposure with operator-level benchmark lifetimes, Wilson coefficients, hadronic inputs, and channel-level exposure bands.
Paper #8
v0.5 flavor/leptogenesis
Tests a reduced SO(10)-compatible flavor texture, neutrino closure, leptogenesis viability, and proton-decay flavor feedback.
Paper #9
Integrated capstone
Integrates the full sequence into a single executable closure capstone, presenting QDL–SO10–1 as a benchmark-level GUT program rather than a final theory claim.
