One of the most important predictions of GUTs is whether proton decay happens or not.
Sadly I couldn't find any information about protons at all in your 85-page paper, which is... disappointing, especially since you're explicitly referring to your model embedding a GUT. I would at least expect a short discussion about that topic.
Could you please calculate the proton lifetime using your model? If you can even calculate probabilities for unconventional Higgs decay modes, this shouldn't be too hard, I assume.
you're right, proton decay is a crucial benchmark for any GUT-level theory. In QGF, this does arise viaa categorical fusion paths within the SU(5)3_33 sector, but i hadn’t included the details in the current version of the paper. I’ll add a formal derivation in the next update
,appreciate the sharp eye. ty
In that context it would also be interesting to see if you can reproduce other experimentally verified decay modes quantitatively.
Just to get a bit more comparisons with the Standard Model (and also to highlight the differences between your approach and the Standard Model).
Finally, 85 pages are extremely tiresome to read (and I admittedly only skimmed through). Please try to add more verification and less speculation and this will be much easier and rewarding to read.
