# 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
---
## Key Milestones
- **2025-01-14**: Initial inspiration (dog walk)
- **2025-02-01**: Mathematical formalization with AI help
- **2025-03-15**: Discovered hydrogen Coulomb force match
- **2025-04-20**: Successfully predicted Mercury's perihelion
- **2025-05-10**: Failed at galaxy scales (important negative result)
- **2025-05-27**: v22 - Computational honesty version
- **2025-06-01**: v23 - "Atoms are Balls" paradigm shift
## Collaborators
- **Andre Heinecke**: Original concept and primary author
- **Caseway's Fast and Furious Bilbo**: Canine inspiration
- **ChatGPT-4**: Early mathematical development
- **Claude Opus 4**: Later refinements and v23 restructuring
## 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.
