\subsection*{Disclosure of the use of artificial intelligence}

In the production of this manuscript ---in its derivations, its writing, the
verification of its internal consistency, the composition of its LaTeX edition and
the confrontation of its results with the literature--- general-purpose artificial
intelligence systems were used as an assistance tool. This
use is disclosed openly, in compliance with the good practices of
transparency that the scientific community increasingly adopts for
AI-assisted work.

The use of these tools does not displace authorial responsibility. The
conception of the framework, the formulation of its axioms and of its Lagrangian, the
decisions about which lines to follow and which to discard, the criteria of
epistemic rigor applied to each result ---the classification between the derived, the
deduced, the calibrated and the hypothetical--- and the final responsibility for the
content rest entirely on the human author. The AI systems acted as an
instrument under human direction, supervision and review; every assertion of
this document has been submitted to the judgment of the author, and the errors that
remain are his.

\subsection*{A new reality in the production of knowledge}

The context in which this work was possible marks a new reality in the way knowledge is produced. For the
first time, the integral knowledge accumulated by humanity ---physics,
mathematics, scientific methodology, the history of ideas and of their
errors--- is grouped and accessible under the administration of artificial
intelligence systems capable of retrieving it, relating it and putting it at
the disposal of whoever interrogates it. That capacity, however, does not produce science
by itself alone.

What gives scientific value to the result is not the tool, but its governance.
The AI administers a corpus; the human being contributes what no administration of
information provides by itself: the \emph{idea} that organizes the question, the
\emph{initiative} that sustains a research program over time,
and the \emph{scientific rigor} that distinguishes a derivation from a coincidence, a
legitimate mechanism from a fabricated one, a falsifiable prediction from an empty
assertion. The fertile combination is not ``the AI does science'', but ``the integral
knowledge of humanity, administered by the AI, directed, administered and
supervised by human beings with ideas, initiative and scientific rigor''.

This manuscript is a product of that combination. Its ontology, its axioms, its
predictions and the epistemic discipline with which its scope and its
open threads are declared are human decisions; the speed, the breadth of consultation and the
technical assistance that made them viable come from the tool. To declare
this does not diminish the work: it situates it with precision in the historical moment that
made it possible.

\subsection*{Acknowledgments}

The author thanks those who, throughout the history of physics, built
the corpus of knowledge to which this program is indebted; the
scientific community whose rigorous scrutiny is the very condition of the value of a
proposal such as this; and those who, through their critical review ---present or
future---, contribute to refuting, correcting or consolidating the results here
set out. All rigorous criticism is welcome: it is, ultimately, what
turns a proposal into science.
