🌌 First-Principles Cosmological Constant Derivation with Enhanced Uncertainty Quantification

Research-stage framework for predicting the vacuum energy density (cosmological constant Λ) from first principles using the unified Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG) framework. This implementation provides comprehensive uncertainty quantification with Bayesian parameter estimation, achieving high Monte Carlo sampling efficiency and strong cross-scale consistency across 61 orders of magnitude. All results are subject to model assumptions, parameter choices, and ongoing validation.

This repository presents a research-stage implementation for first-principles cosmological constant prediction. All results are provisional, model-dependent, and subject to revision as methods and data improve. Key limitations and validation notes:

• Uncertainty Quantification (UQ): Comprehensive UQ is implemented and documented in docs/technical-documentation.md and docs/UQ_FRAMEWORK_IMPLEMENTATION.md. All predictions include confidence intervals and parameter sensitivity analysis.
• Model Assumptions: Results depend on the unified LQG framework, polymer quantization, and validated parameter choices. See technical docs for details.
• Validation: Cross-scale consistency and convergence are tested, but independent experimental validation is not yet available. See UQ docs for performance metrics and limitations.
• Reproducibility: All code and UQ methods are open source. See technical docs for API and reproducibility guidance.
• Not production-certified: This framework is not certified for operational or engineering use. All claims are subject to further peer review and validation.
