Research programmes
Ongoing research
Two empirical programmes currently public. One cascade.
If PT is right, the cascade {3, 5, 7} and the q⁺/q⁻ bifurcation should not be confined to the Standard Model. Two research programmes, presented here, test this transposition in two empirical domains: biology (biopolymers) and colour perception (colour spaces). Other programmes are ongoing internally and will be released later.
Common status : these programmes are still exploratory. Their results are measured, chained, verifiable — but they do not replace PT’s deductive core (43 Standard Model observables, 28 Tier-1 predictions). This page is a portal to each, with code, limits, and ambitions of its own.
Two public transpositions

Biology
Life sciences PT_PROTEIN, PT_RNA Private code · LaTeX draft in progress 3/3 biopolymers · A_m = 1 [THM] · cos_therm 90 ppmq⁺/q⁻ bifurcation verified across 3 biopolymers (DNA, RNA, proteins), Ramachandran torus reconstructed from modular projections, protein allostery tested against 1000 permutations.
Key results
- ✓ Ramachandran torus 20/20 amino acids from modular projections
- ✓ RNA scale-up 94 → 300 nt stable, Vienna peak L = 4
- ✓ Allostery: shuffle test 6/6 PASS, p = 0/1000
- ✓ cos_therm agrees within 90 ppm of DSSR-strict measurement

SieveColorSpace
Colour perception SieveColorSpace Public code · MIT · GitHub Igrekess L-M weight: 0.385 (PT) vs 0.373 (118 subjects) · 3.2 %Colour space derived from the sieve. Three opponent channels (L-M, S-LM, achromatic) forced by active primes {3, 5, 7}, γ_p weights derived without fitting, Pythagorean metric via CRT. Answers the limits of Lab/Oklab/ICtCp.
Key results
- ✓ Three opponent channels forced by {3, 5, 7}, not by fit
- ✓ L-M weight derived exactly from γ_3 / Σγ_p
- ✓ Pythagorean metric via CRT — no ad-hoc coefficients
- ✓ Compatible with Lab, ICtCp, Oklab — industrial applications HDR, print, AI

Why these domains
Two independent tests of the same cascade
A theory that succeeds within its origin domain risks saying nothing elsewhere. PT lends itself to a natural test: is its cascade {3, 5, 7} generic, or particle-physics-specific?
Two deliberately very different domains let us check this without contamination:
- Biology — combines discrete combinatorics (4 RNA bases, 20 amino acids) and continuous dynamics (folding). If q⁺/q⁻ shows up in biopolymers, it’s a strong signature.
- Colour perception — PT prediction (3 opponent channels weighted by γ_p) competes directly with existing spaces (Lab, Oklab) whose coefficients are fitted.
If both converge with the PT prediction, the transposition is not coincidence. If one fails, that's a serious signal. The transparency of statuses (private / public, empirical / theoretical) is essential here.
Honesty
What this research is NOT
✗ Not the PT core
The PT core is the 43 Standard Model observables derived from s = 1/2 (cf. Observables). These programmes are in addition — they replace nothing.
✗ Not [THM] theorems
The PT-cascade transposition to biology / colour is not yet a theorem. These are empirically validated analogies, not rigorous derivations.
✗ Not all published
SieveColorSpace has public code; PT_PROTEIN / PT_RNA are in draft / private repo. Code access can be granted under collaboration agreement.
✗ Not proof of PT
If these programmes confirm PT, that's a cumulative argument in its favour. If they fail, that signals the cascade does not transpose — not that the PT core is wrong.
