Buckholtz Affiliation: Ronin Institute, Montclair, New Jersey 07043, USA E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Physics theory has yet to settle on specific descriptions for new elementary particles, for dark matter, and for dark energy forces. Our work extrapolates from the known elementary particles. The work suggests well-specified candidate descriptions for new elementary particles, dark matter, and dark energy forces. This part of the work does not depend on theories of motion. This work embraces symmetries that correlate with motion-centric conservation laws. The candidate descriptions seem to explain data that prior physics theory seems not to explain. Some of that data pertains to elementary particles. Our theory suggests relationships between masses of elementary particles. Our theory suggests a relationship between the strengths of electromagnetism and gravity. Some of that data pertains to astrophysics. Our theory seems to explain ratios of dark matter effects to ordinary matter effects. Our theory seems to explain aspects of galaxy formation. Some of that data pertains to cosmology. Our theory suggests bases for inflation and for changes in the rate of expansion of the universe. Generally, our work proposes extensions to theory in three fields. The fields are elementary particles, astrophysics, and cosmology. Our work suggests new elementary particles and seems to explain otherwise unexplained data.

This unit discusses context and scope for the proposed theory. This unit discusses relationships between data, proposed theory, ongoing theory, and mathematics. This unit discusses evolution of proposed theory. This unit provides perspective about this essay. 1.1 Overview This unit discusses highlights about proposed theory. We develop a framework for physics theories. The framework seems to embrace ongoing theories. The framework suggests new physics theory. We use the two-word term proposed theory to denote the new theory. The following items point to topics that proposed theory addresses. Each item notes aspects that underlie the framework or come from proposed theory. • Extensions to harmonic-oscillator mathematics. Minor changes in assumptions lead to states that people might consider to lie below traditional ground states. The resulting math has applications to elementary particle physics. • Mathematics-based modeling pertaining to elementary particles, astrophysics, and cosmology. Ex- tended harmonic-oscillator math provides bases for modeling pertaining to elementary particles, dark matter, dark energy forces, and
