Vacuum Energy Derivation from the Quantum Entanglement Spacetime Theory (QuEST)
Authors/Creators
Description
This work presents a complete, self-contained derivation of the universe’s vacuum energy within the Quantum Entanglement Spacetime Theory (QuEST). The result is obtained entirely from QuEST’s internal rules: a local recoupling construction on a minimal patch, a strict normalization step, and an exact unitary completion, with no external data, fitting, or tuning. From this pipeline a finite fixed point emerges that sets the expansion scale and determines the vacuum energy, yielding concrete numerical outputs.
