An Empirically Driven Running Neutrino Mass in Quantum Harmonia: A Unified Resolution to the Lab-Sky Tension with Multi-Scale Implications
An Empirically Driven Running Neutrino Mass in Quantum Harmonia: A Unified Resolution to the Lab-Sky Tension with Multi-Scale Implications
paperThe paper presents a resolution of the laboratory–cosmology neutrino mass tension using the Quantum Harmonia (QH) framework, introducing empirically driven scale-dependent mass running; a Bayesian MCMC fit simultaneously matches KATRIN (m_beta ≈ 0.250 eV) and Planck+DESI (Σm_ν ≈ 0.053 eV) and finds a scaling exponent β = 1.023 (+0.069/−0.051), significantly deviating from the naive β = 0.5 and yielding falsifiable predictions for upcoming experiments.

Quantum Harmonia in Biological Systems: Unifying Consciousness and Magnetoreception
Quantum Harmonia in Biological Systems: Unifying Consciousness and Magnetoreception
paperThis paper extends the Quantum Harmonia (QH) framework, augmented by Unified Temporal Gravity (UTG), to quantum biology, proposing Lindblad-shielded microtubule entanglement and cryptochrome radical-pair coherence as mechanisms underlying 40‑Hz cortical oscillations and avian magnetoreception. Analytic Lindblad modelling, neural-network quantum-state simulations, and a Bayesian stack of eight biological datasets predict microtubule coherence of 0.1–1 ms and cryptochrome lifetimes of 1–10 μs (aggregate Z = 4.8σ), arguing a sub‑unity scale-coupling exponent δ ≈ 0.4615 substantially attenuates decoherence.

Dual-Constraint Toroidal Black Hole Model: A Unified Framework for Vibrational Resonances
Dual-Constraint Toroidal Black Hole Model: A Unified Framework for Vibrational Resonances
paperWe present a unified toroidal-cavity model for black hole vibrational resonances that simultaneously satisfies observational constraints from intermediate-mass black holes and gravitational-wave ringdown events. Through dual-constraint optimization of QNM-inspired parameters, our model achieves excellent agreement across six orders of magnitude in mass, reproducing IMBH compatibility factors within ±33% and exactly matching the 510 Hz fundamental overtone of GW150914.

Resolving the S₈ Tension through Quantum Harmonic Effective Field Theory: A Two-Stage Transition Framework
Resolving the S₈ Tension through Quantum Harmonic Effective Field Theory: A Two-Stage Transition Framework
paperWe present a novel resolution to the S₈ tension using Quantum Harmonic Effective Field (QHEF) theory with a two-stage quantum-to-classical transition mechanism. Our framework features an early-time coherence phase (z > 6000) with strong quantum effects, followed by a late-time classical regime. Using Bayesian analysis of Planck CMB, BAO, growth factor, and black hole shadow data, we demonstrate excellent agreement with observations while resolving the S₈ tension through scale-dependent modifications to the effective Newton constant.
