State the primitives
Begin with an explicit base set and trace derived quantities back to it. In QLM, that starting point is reduced action, Planck length, and Planck time.
About Quantum-Q
Independent inquiry.
Documented foundations.
Quantum-Q LLC is the research home of the Quantum Lattice Model, an independent theoretical framework developed by Quinton R. D. Tharp.
The research program
A systematic approach
to foundational questions.
QLM organizes its research around reduced action, proper-time phase flow, and Planck-scale transport.
The work develops these ideas across a connected paper series covering foundations, density saturation, Lorentz kinematics, gravitational routing, and quantum wave dynamics. Companion papers address focused identities and closure structures.
Quantum-Q serves as the public archive and development hub. The mission is to develop the framework transparently and systematically, with stated primitives, clear notation, and explicit distinctions between the core framework and work under investigation.

Development principles
Clarity at every step.
A research argument is easier to assess when its starting points, derivations, and limits are visible.
Check the dimensions
Keep units and dimensional consistency visible throughout a derivation. Express Planck-sector quantities in the primitive lattice set wherever possible.
Make the dynamics explicit
Develop deterministic phase-action dynamics with stated update rules and causal transport bounds, so each step can be examined in context.
Keep notation consistent
Define symbols and distinguish their roles across foundations, kinematics, routing, and wave dynamics. Use the shared reference as an entry point.
Document the work publicly
Provide full papers alongside summaries, core identities, and revision information so readers can follow the argument beyond an overview.
Distinguish research status
Separate foundational results, compatible extensions, focused identity notes, and exploratory work. Make their relationship to the framework clear.
Research structure
Make the status
of the work clear.
The core paper series
QLM IāV form the main reading sequence, moving from the reduced-action foundations through the density, kinematic, routing, and dynamical sectors. Each paper retains its own status label in the archive.
Focused notes and extensions
The Planck energy identity note isolates a specific derivation. The temporal-spatial closure paper develops a focused extension. Other research directions, including electromagnetic routing and boundary transport, remain exploratory unless integrated into the framework.
The aim is to document what has been derived within the framework, what is consistent with its current foundations, and what needs further development.
