Research Trajectory
Scope
This page documents the progression of my research program and provides contextual dissemination metrics. It is intended as supporting material for editors, reviewers, and funding panels.
Research Progression
Foundational Framework
The foundational framework underlying this work is Integrated Spiral Topological String Theory (ISTST), which introduces spiral compactification with torsion and monodromy. This framework establishes a geometric mechanism for spectral quantization and serves as the basis for subsequent empirical and mathematical investigations.
Foundational paperEmpirical Engagement
Subsequent work applies the framework to testable condensed matter systems, deriving geometric corrections to quantum Hall quantization in graphene-based systems.
Latest paperCurrent Direction
Consciousness and Fundamental Physics
Exploration of the relationship between consciousness and fundamental physical structures, investigating whether conscious experience may be connected to geometric and topological features of spacetime. This work examines potential bridges between subjective experience and objective physical description, drawing on insights from the spiral compactification framework.
Yang–Mills Mass Gap Problem
Long-horizon program addressing the Yang–Mills existence and mass gap problem, reformulated to meet Clay Mathematics Institute standards of mathematical rigor.

Notes on Methodology
- Zenodo metrics represent archival access to complete research artifacts.
- Academia.edu metrics represent discovery, visibility, and aggregate paper engagement.
- Metrics are reported separately to avoid double-counting readers across platforms.
