### Sample Git Commit Messages

#### Initial v23 commit:
```bash
git commit -m "feat: v23 - Atoms are Balls paradigm shift

- New title emphasizing 3D vs 2D atomic conceptualization
- Extended analysis from H to Au proving universal pattern
- Added verify_atoms_are_balls.py showing 99%+ agreement
- Repositioned as quantum gravity discovery
- Zero free parameters across periodic table

The core insight: atoms are 3D spinning balls, not 2D circles,
and this reveals electromagnetic force as quantum gravity."
```

#### For organizing files:
```bash
git commit -m "refactor: organize repository structure

- Move current version to current/ directory
- Archive previous versions in archive/
- Separate scripts, figures, and data
- Add comprehensive documentation
- Prepare for public release at git.esus.name"
```

### Version Control Best Practices

1. **Tag releases:**
   ```bash
   git tag -a v23 -m "Version 23: Atoms are Balls"
   ```

2. **Branch for major changes:**
   ```bash
   git checkout -b feature/molecular-extension
   ```

3. **Keep development history:**
   - Archive each major version
   - Document key insights and breakthroughs
   - Preserve AI collaboration artifacts

### Repository Description

**Spin-Tether Paper: Atoms are Balls**

A novel framework showing that atoms are 3D spinning spheres (balls), not 2D mathematical abstractions. This simple reconceptualization reveals electromagnetic force as quantum gravity at the atomic scale. From a dog walk to unified forces - the journey of an accidental discovery.

Key result: Coulomb force emerges from 3D rotation with 99%+ accuracy across the periodic table (H to Au) using zero free parameters.

### Collaboration Notes

This repository preserves the development history including extensive AI collaboration with ChatGPT-4 and Claude Opus 4, showing how human intuition combined with AI formalization can lead to new scientific insights.
