Unprecedented Achievement
Alignment Framework derives ALL fundamental constants from first principles - the first theory in physics to achieve this:
All Fundamental Constants Derived from First Principles
The Alignment Framework derives 26 Standard Model parameters plus additional physical constants from just two fundamental parameters ($\hbar$ and $c$), achieving unprecedented unification. Below is the complete set of derived constants with their observed values:

Derivation Mechanism
Constants emerge from three mechanisms:
- Alignment-Criticality: λ(Λ*) = βλ(Λ*) = 0 at unification scale
- Dimensional Analysis: Energy scales α = 4λv²Λ²
- RG Evolution: Running from Λ* to low energy
$$\alpha = \frac{mc^2}{\delta_0^2}$$
