I would like to share a compact deterministic arithmetic program that produces four numerical values lying within the CODATA 2022 one-standard-uncertainty windows for:

• the inverse fine-structure constant
• the proton/electron mass ratio
• the muon/electron mass ratio
• the tau/electron mass ratio

The code was motivated by a broader physical framework, but the point of this post is not to argue for that framework.

The narrower question is this:

Can this compact computational object be explained as ordinary numerical fitting, and if so, where is the fitted information stored?

The program contains:

• no empirical target constants as inputs
• no decimal fit coefficients
• no continuous optimization loop
• no output-specific adjustable parameters

In addition, the three mass-ratio outputs share the same denominator ladder.

Wolfram Language code:

```wolfram

    u = 1;
    r = 3;
    A = r*(r - u);
    B = 2;
    n = A + B - u;
    rel = A + B + r;
    ph = n + B;
    h = (rel + u) + n;
    nVal = r + rel + ph + h;
    cVal = 2*nVal;
    atten = 1 - A/n^2;
    Phi = nVal*r + rel + r/cVal + (rel - ph)/cVal^2 + (18/(n*Pi))*atten/cVal^3 + (4*Pi)*atten/cVal^4;
    d1 = r + ph + u;
    d2 = h*(nVal - (r + u));
    d3 = d1*d2;
    d4 = d2*(nVal - (r + u))*A*(rel - r);
    Psi1 = cVal*(h + r) - (ph + r) + (rel - ph)/d1 - u/d2 + (rel - ph)/d3 - u/d4;
    Psi2 = h*rel - r + (rel - u)/d1 - u/d2 + (r + u)/d3 + (h - r - u)/d4;
    Psi3 = nVal*(cVal - u) - ph + (rel - ph)/d1 - (rel - ph)/d2 + (r + u)/d3 - (r*h)/d4;

NumberForm[N[{Phi, Psi1, Psi2, Psi3}, 15], 15]

Output:

{137.035999165800, 1836.15267343627, 206.768283284455, 3477.15145895483}

For comparison, the CODATA 2022 reference values are approximately:

alpha^-1          = 137.035999177(21)

proton/electron   = 1836.152673426(32)

muon/electron     = 206.7682827(46)

tau/electron      = 3477.23(23)

All four outputs lie within the corresponding one-standard-uncertainty windows.

Under a conservative unit-range normalization, the four simultaneous window hits roughly correspond to ~66 bits of target-window information.

So my question is simple:

If this is ordinary numerical fitting, what is the information channel?

For completeness, I include a short note containing the description-length analysis:
