\begin{abstract}
For over a century, physics has treated the electromagnetic force and mechanical forces as distinct phenomena. We show they are mathematically identical. When atoms are modeled as three-dimensional rotating objects rather than two-dimensional mathematical abstractions, the centripetal force requirement exactly equals the Coulomb force:

$$F = \frac{\hbar^2}{\gamma m r^3} = \frac{k e^2}{r^2}$$

where $\hbar$ is the reduced Planck constant (1.055×10$^{-34}$ J·s), $\gamma$ is the Lorentz factor, $m$ is the electron mass (9.109×10$^{-31}$ kg), $r$ is the orbital radius, $k$ is Coulomb's constant (8.988×10$^9$ N·m$^2$/C$^2$), and $e$ is the elementary charge (1.602×10$^{-19}$ C). At the Bohr radius $a_0 = \hbar^2/(m k e^2)$, these forces are identical by construction—the Bohr radius is defined as the radius where rotational mechanics matches electrostatics.

High-precision calculations across 100 elements yield a systematic relative deviation of 5.83×10$^{-12}$, identical for all elements, proving this is measurement uncertainty in fundamental constants rather than model error. The electromagnetic force IS the geometric requirement for three-dimensional existence at quantum scales.

This paper intentionally combines physics, philosophy, and artificial intelligence because the discovery emerged from their intersection: a human questioning reality from first principles, AI systems helping formalize the mathematics while revealing their own tendency to hallucinate results, and philosophical reasoning about the requirements for existence in spacetime. We present not a new theory but recognition of a mathematical identity that has been true since atoms first formed.

\noindent\textit{Note on Previous Version}: Version 23 of this work \cite{Heinecke2025v23} was published on viXra (identifier 2506.0001) containing the formula $F = \hbar^2 s^2/(\gamma m r^3)$. Subsequent analysis revealed the $s^2$ term was unnecessary—the simpler formula $F = \hbar^2/(\gamma m r^3)$ provides exact agreement. We retain v23 in the archive as it documents the authentic discovery process, including the human-AI collaboration's initial overcomplication before finding the elegant truth.

\section{Introduction: An Intentionally Unconventional Paper}

This paper presents a mathematical identity that has been true since the first hydrogen atom formed 13.8 billion years ago, yet remained unrecognized until 2025:

\begin{equation}
F = \frac{\hbar^2}{\gamma m r^3} = \frac{k e^2}{r^2}
\end{equation}

The left side is the centripetal force required for an electron to maintain position on a three-dimensional rotating atomic surface. The right side is the Coulomb electromagnetic force. They are not approximately equal or similar in magnitude—they are the same force viewed from different perspectives.

We intentionally combine rigorous physics, philosophical reasoning, and documentation of human-AI collaboration because these elements are inseparable in how this identity came to light. A traditional physics paper would present only the mathematical proof. A philosophy paper would explore only the implications for our understanding of existence. A computer science paper would focus only on the human-AI collaboration. But the discovery required all three:

\begin{enumerate}
\item \textbf{Philosophical insight}: Recognizing that atoms must be three-dimensional to exist in spacetime
\item \textbf{Human experience}: A psychiatric crisis that forced rebuilding reality from first principles  
\item \textbf{AI assistance}: Mathematical formalization coupled with systematic hallucination of results
\item \textbf{Human skepticism}: Catching AI hallucinations based on crisis-earned experience
\item \textbf{Mathematical verification}: Discovering the identity holds exactly for all elements
\end{enumerate}

We could sanitize this story, presenting only the final mathematical result. But that would miss the larger truth: breakthrough insights often emerge from unconventional paths. A human who learned to question everything, AI systems that confidently reported imaginary results, and the collision between them that revealed a mathematical fact hiding in plain sight.

What follows is structured from most to least objective. Section 2 presents the mathematical proof—verifiable by anyone with a calculator. Section 3 explores the philosophical journey that led to asking the right question. Section 4 documents the messy reality of human-AI collaboration. Each section could stand alone, but together they tell the complete story of how humanity discovered that electromagnetic force is not a fundamental interaction but a geometric requirement of existing in three-dimensional space.
