# Changelog - Spin-Tether Paper
|
||
|
||
All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.
|
||
|
||
## [v23] - 2025-06-01 - "Atoms are Balls"
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
- **Complete paradigm shift**: Renamed to "Atoms are Balls: Why Three-Dimensional Rotation Explains Atomic Binding from Hydrogen to Gold"
|
||
- **Multi-atom verification**: Extended analysis from just hydrogen to H, He, C, Fe, Au
|
||
- **Core message clarity**: Emphasized 2D vs 3D atomic conceptualization as the key insight
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- `verify_atoms_are_balls.py` - Proves concept works across periodic table
|
||
- Table showing 99%+ agreement for 5 different atoms
|
||
- Clearer connection to quantum gravity implications
|
||
- Executive summary document
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
- Repositioned work as discovery rather than theory
|
||
- Made "zero free parameters" achievement prominent
|
||
- Clarified that electromagnetic force = quantum gravity at atomic scale
|
||
|
||
## [v22] - 2025-05-27 - "Computational Honesty"
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- Systematic analysis of 8 open stellar clusters
|
||
- Galaxy rotation curve analysis showing framework failures
|
||
- Scale-dependent σ(r,M,ρ) function with three factors
|
||
- Unified Force-Energy world formula: E² = (pc)² + (mc²)² + E_spin + E_tether + E_bind
|
||
- Critical assessment section acknowledging limitations
|
||
- Computational validation plots and quantitative tables
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
- Modified σ from constant to σ(r,M,ρ) with mass and density dependence
|
||
- Updated abstract to be honest about failures from the start
|
||
- Reframed as "exploring connections" not "unified theory"
|
||
|
||
### Fixed
|
||
- Acknowledged galaxy rotation curves fail (σ exceeds limits by 36-200×)
|
||
- Stated clearly: "cannot replace dark matter"
|
||
- Made limitations explicit throughout
|
||
|
||
## [v21] - 2025-05-20 - "Modular Structure"
|
||
|
||
### Changed
|
||
- Split monolithic document into modular .tex files
|
||
- Organized into: header, theory, examples, observations
|
||
- Created main_document.tex that includes all sections
|
||
|
||
### Added
|
||
- README explaining file structure
|
||
- Bibliography as separate .bib file
|
||
- Compilation instructions
|
||
|
||
## [v10-v20] - 2025-04-01 to 2025-05-15 - "Development Phase"
|
||
|
||
### Evolution
|
||
- v10: First attempt at unified framework
|
||
- v12: Added solar system examples
|
||
- v15: Included S2 star analysis
|
||
- v18: Added cluster analysis
|
||
- v20: Recognized galaxy rotation failures
|
||
|
||
## [v01-v09] - 2025-01-15 to 2025-03-30 - "Initial Explorations"
|
||
|
||
### The Journey
|
||
- v01: Dog walk inspiration - "what if forces are like leashes?"
|
||
- v03: First mathematical formulation F = ℏ²s²/(γmr³)
|
||
- v05: Realized it reproduces hydrogen Coulomb force exactly
|
||
- v07: Extended to planetary orbits successfully
|
||
- v09: Started questioning 2D vs 3D atomic models
|
||
|
||
## [v00] - 2025-01-14 - "The Walk"
|
||
|
||
### Created
|
||
- Initial insight during morning dog walk
|
||
- Noticed similarity between dog on leash and electron around nucleus
|
||
- First sketch of unified binding force concept
|
||

|
||
|
||
## Collaborators
|
||
|
||
- **Andre Heinecke**: Original concept and primary author
|
||
- **Caseway's Fast and Furious Bilbo**: Canine inspiration

|
||
|
||
## Philosophy
|
||
|
||
This changelog preserves not just what changed, but HOW we arrived at these insights. The path from a dog walk to quantum gravity is as important as the destination. |
