About the work
Excerpt/Description:
"We establish a correspondence between iterated geometric similarity composition and the structural content of the Einstein field equations. A discrete similarity operator defined by the Thales right-triangle construction yields, in its continuous limit, conformal metric rescaling. Three properties of the construction — scaling invariance, chain closure, and second-order locality — produce equivalent constraints to Lovelock's uniqueness theorem, identifying the Einstein tensor G_μν + Λg_μν as the unique similarity-invariant curvature tensor. The binary partition a + b = 1 emerges directly from the operator structure of the Einstein equation: the exact decomposition into linear and nonlinear parts defines a conserved two-channel system with a = C/(1+C), b = 1/(1+C), where C is the Schwarzschild compactness, with no free parameters. The Thales altitude decomposition identifies cubic order as the first level at which a self-consistency condition constrains the partition, yielding the compactness threshold C_crit = 0.4656 as the unique positive root of C³ + 2C² + C − 1 = 0. This threshold coincides with the compactness of the most massive observed neutron stars and the known onset of post-Newtonian degradation. The prediction is falsifiable through neutron star observations, numerical relativity convergence studies, and gravitational wave spectroscopy. No modification of general relativity is proposed. The contribution is a structural re-reading that identifies why the field equations take their specific form from the perspective of self-similar geometric composition
