Theory of Cosmic Collapse (TOCC): A Matter-Centric Alternative to Spacetime Expansion

The Theory of Cosmic Collapse (TOCC) proposes that matter contracts geometrically over time at rate S ≈ 4H₀, with space remaining constant. From this single premise, the framework derives radioactive decay formulas (tested on ~950 isotopes across 24+ orders of magnitude, with R² = 0.89 for alpha decay), characteristic energies equal to exact combinations of the fine-structure constant α and atomic constants, a neutrino mass prediction of ~0.20 eV/c², and a mechanical explanation for gravity that resolves the hierarchy problem. Updated from v1 with expanded isotope validation (~950 cases, up from 249), first-principles derivations of Q exponents, performance figures, and RMS statistics by decay mode. Comprehensive isotope data tables and visualizations included.
