A Readout-Based Structural Analysis of Empirical CMB Temperature Equations: Macro-Micro Correspondence and Action-Level Framework ()
1. Introduction
The symbols used in this paper are summarized in Section 2. In previous studies, we proposed a set of empirical equations relating the cosmic microwave background (CMB) temperature to several physical quantities and evaluated them numerically [1]-[5]. In particular, Equations (1)-(3) summarize characteristic CMB-temperature relations that provide the empirical starting point for the present analysis.
(1)
(2)
(3)
We also introduced an empirical expression for the fine-structure constant [6] and examined its consistency with related quantities [7] [8].
(4)
(5)
Small deviations from the ideal values of 9/2 and π, respectively, were previously considered as a means of reducing the resulting numerical errors [9]-[14]. The coefficient associated with the dimensional factor m2/s was denoted by kL, and by kL0 when expressed explicitly in the meter-kilogram-second-ampere (MKSA) reference system [15] [16]. In the present work, kL0 is treated as a structural readout coefficient associated with the m2/s-type branch, rather than as a new dynamical operator or an independently measured transport coefficient.
(6)
where the subscript “MKSA” denotes the MKSA reference system.
(7)
(8)
Applying the first redefinition to the von Klitzing constant returns these coefficients to the ideal values of 9/2 and π [15], yielding Equation (9) and Equation (10).
(9)
(10)
The parameter
is then obtained from Equation (11).
(11)
This procedure leads to the following relation.
(12)
Using this framework, the CMB temperature derived under the adopted map is 2.7256307 K, in agreement with the observed value of 2.72548 ± 0.00057 K. Previous work focused mainly on numerical consistency and readout adjustments within the MKSA reference system [15] [16]. However, the structural meaning of Equation (12), particularly its relationship to the connection between E = mc2 and E = hν, requires further clarification. Our most recent report [17] examined the structural meaning of these relations in detail.
In the present study, we reconsider these empirical relations from the viewpoint of macro-micro correspondence. The two readout redefinitions are not interpreted as physical changes in fundamental constants, but as changes in their numerical representations. This makes it possible to compare macroscopic reference units with microscopic mass-energy, electromagnetic, and action-related quantities within a single structural framework.
Particular attention is given to the role of
, which connects the minimum-mass energy scale with
. The same framework is then used to derive the CMB temperature under the adopted map and to examine the gravitational constant, including the role of the human-defined 1 kg reference mass. The purpose is to test the numerical and structural consistency of these relations, rather than to propose a new interaction or a complete microscopic theory.
Section 2 summarizes the symbols and basic relations. Section 3 describes the numerical scaling procedure used in the calculation. Section 4 presents the CMB temperature derived under the adopted map, the macro-micro connection relations, and the gravitational-side results. Section 5 discusses their interpretation, limitations, and remaining open questions. Section 6 summarizes the conclusions.

2.2.1. Symbols Obtained after the Redefinition Procedure
In this subsection, symbols carrying the subscript “new” denote quantities expressed under the redefinition scheme adopted in this study. They represent numerically consistent readouts of the corresponding MKSA quantities.
(13)
(14)
(15)
Therefore, the value of Planck’s constant remains unchanged.
(16)
Equation (16) can be rewritten as follows:
(17)
where 4.5unit and πunit are unit-identification coefficients for the (1/(A·m)) and (V·m) readouts. They represent MKSA readout deviations, not new physical constants.
(18)
Equation (18) can likewise be rewritten as follows:

(20)
(21)
(22)
The Compton wavelength, λ, is then given by
(23)
Because Planck’s constant and the speed of light are fixed, the Compton-wavelength relation connects the length readout to the corresponding mass readout. Equations (24)-(26) are therefore retained.

The minimum mass is defined as follows:

3. Methods
The present procedure consists of two readout redefinitions. The first redefinition, the initial Ω-side normalization, produces a coherent shell and provides the numerical representation used to derive
. The second redefinition, implemented through the calibrated table-number rule, completes the branch-resolved numerical placement required for the MKSA-referenced calculation of
. The present procedure is a phenomenological numerical organization under the adopted map; the observed CMB temperature and the reported gravitational constant are used only for comparison and do not enter the calculation chain.
3.1. Definition of a Shell with Local Macroscopic-Microscopic Unit
Correspondence
In this study, a shell
is a coherent numerical-readout set consisting of a macroscopic unit, its corresponding microscopic reference quantity, and the representative number that relates them. The shell-local representatives are
.(60)
.(61)
.(62)
within each shell, the macroscopic unit is set to one and the representative is preserved, so the paired microscopic quantity has the same local readout as in the MKSA shell. By contrast, its readout changes when expressed relative to the macroscopic unit of the MKSA shell.
3.2. Second Redefinition: Table-Number Assignment and
Readout-Transfer Rule
For the numerical calculations in this study, each readout quantity
is assigned a table number
, which is converted into a readout-transfer factor according to

4. Results
4.1. Branch-Resolved Readouts Obtained from the Table-Number Rule
The table-number rule in Equation (63) was applied to the MKSA reference readouts using Jtab = 1.00056105184. Table 3 summarizes the principal transferred values used in the subsequent calculations.
Equation (12) gives
. Table 3 lists the transferred readout after
; dividing that entry by
yields the intermediate display 2.73022088 K, which is not the final comparison value. The signs of the assigned table numbers determine only whether the corresponding factor is multiplied or divided; their structural interpretation is reserved for Section 5. The transferred electromagnetic product is consistent with the transferred action-product center:
within the numerical precision used in the calculation. Table 3 also includes the transferred
readout used in the gravitational-side calculation in Section 4.4.

4.2. Numerical Consistency of the Four Macro-Micro Connection Equations
The branch-resolved readouts were substituted into the four macro-micro connection equations, and the results are summarized in Table 4. The first pair compares coefficient-normalized electromagnetic readouts with minimum-mass coordinates, while the second pair compares coefficient-wrapped electromagnetic readouts with the corresponding mass-energy-
products. All four equations agree within approximately 1.1 × 10−9 in relative terms, confirming numerical consistency without establishing a completed physical mechanism or electromagnetic-mass representative-count equality.

4.3. Preservation of SI and the Composite Readouts
The transferred quantities were also evaluated through the three composite forms of SI used in the present framework. The first form combines UIP with the action-product readout hc2. The second combines the square-pair quantity EIP with the energy-pair quantity EI. The third is the mass-side composite formed from the minimum-mass and electron–proton mass-energy readouts. Table 5 summarizes the calculated results.
The three independently displayed forms agree within the numerical precision of the calculation. Accordingly, the table-number transfer preserves the same dimensionless SI readout across the action-product, energy-pair, and mass-side composite representations.

4.4. Gravitational-Side Calculation from Rp(mp) to G and GN
Using the branch-resolved readouts and the transferred
value listed in Table 3, the proton-side force-ratio readout is obtained. In the present framework, GN is treated as the primary gravitational-side quantity. The macroscopic reference mass 1 kg is a human-defined reference setting used to express the corresponding gravitational readout as G. Accordingly, 1 kg/Mₘᵢₙ is interpreted as a kg-reference mass-ratio representative, not as an Avogadro-type count. From Equation (42),
(64)
The resulting numerical readout is
(65)
The factor
belongs to the mixed-shell
denominator-side projection, not to the zero-allocation quantity
itself. The corresponding gravitational-side readouts are summarized in Table 6. Here, GN = G × 1 kg retains the macroscopic reference mass explicitly, whereas G is the corresponding readout projected onto the human-defined 1 kg reference setting. Table 6 summarizes the gravitational-side readouts, with
shown as an intermediate readout,
as the reverse-transferred MKSA value, and 6.6743 × 10−11 m3·kg−1·s−2 used only for comparison. The detailed interpretation of the mass-ratio display, reference-mass setting, and denominator-side readout is discussed in Section 5.

5. Discussions
The numerical results in Section 4 show that the adopted table-number rule preserves the branch-resolved relations and completes the MKSA-referenced gravitational display. The discussion therefore focuses on seven points: shell-local macro-micro correspondence; the distinct roles of the first and second redefinitions; coefficient allocation and common length-gate routing; electromagnetic reconstruction and the status of the table-number rule; the external MKSA 1 kg reference in the gravitational projection; the interpretation of the 9/4 coefficient; and the remaining interpretive boundary.
5.1. Shell-Local Macro-Micro Correspondence
In each shell, the macroscopic unit is normalized to 1 and the branch-local representative
is preserved, so the paired microscopic reference quantity retains the same shell-local readout. The table-number map does not change this local macro-micro correspondence.
What changes is only the numerical display relative to the corresponding MKSA macroscopic unit. A negative table number means that the MKSA-referenced readout is smaller by the corresponding power of
, whereas a positive table number means that it is larger. These are purely cross-shell display changes, not changes in the physical quantity or in its shell-local readout. The representatives are therefore shell-local macro-micro coordinates, not literal particle counts.
5.2. Roles of the First and Second Redefinitions
The first redefinition produces a coherent normalized shell and provides the numerical representation used to calculate
. This shell is internally consistent, but it does not by itself complete the MKSA-referenced numerical display required for the gravitational-side calculation.
The second redefinition, implemented through the calibrated table-number rule, transfers the coherent shell to the final branch-resolved numerical representation required for the calculation of
.
5.3. From the Coefficient Pair to the Voltage-Current Landings
The shell-local representatives can be used to rewrite the two coefficient branches without removing the macro-micro structure. Under the adopted mapping, the
branch contains the representative allocation
, whereas the
branch contains
. The common mass representative
therefore connects the two branches while cancelling from their product. The common length gate then routes the two coefficient branches into the corresponding voltage- and current-type landing coordinates. This gives the branch-local composite relations
and
These relations show how the coefficient pair, shell-local representatives, and length-time branch participate in one coherent routing structure.
Why the numerical anchors are specifically 4.5 and π remains unexplained. Nevertheless, within the present framework, other anchor values do not reproduce the present calculations of
and
.
5.4. Electromagnetic Reconstruction and the Status of the
Table-Number Rule
Table 2 shows that the voltage, current, resistance, capacitance, inductance, field, action, and dual mass-energy landing branches can be reconstructed from the adopted seed assignments through standard electromagnetic unit relations. If the seed exponents were independently derived, the table-number rule could be interpreted as a compact encoding of the electromagnetic unit structure. In the present framework, however, this reconstruction remains conditional on the adopted seeds. The table-number rule may therefore serve as an operational substitute for repeating the branch-by-branch electromagnetic reconstruction, but it does not replace electromagnetic theory or independently explain the physical origin of the seed exponents. This reconstruction is consistent with the table-number map used in the present calculations of
and
, but this agreement does not constitute a first-principles derivation of that map.
5.5. Gravitational Readout and the MKSA 1 kg Reference
In the gravitational-side calculation,
is treated as the primary readout quantity, whereas
is obtained by projection onto the external MKSA mass reference:
(66)
The factor
is therefore a macroscopic reference placement in the numerical display of
, not an intrinsic component of
. The first redefinition produces a coherent intermediate shell, but the second redefinition is required to complete the MKSA-referenced numerical representation used in this projection. The relation may also be written as
(67)
(68)
here,
is a macro-micro representative associated with the external 1 kg reference. It is not interpreted as a literal particle count.
5.6. Algebraic Role of the 9/4 Coefficient
The proton-side force-ratio relation is
(69)
Using
(70)
This relation becomes
(71)
thus, the factor 9/4, together with the factor 2π in the minimum-mass relation, gives rise to the coefficient 4.5π in the thermal representation of
. In the present representation,
may be interpreted as an activation-energy-like scale in the phenomenological context of thermally activated and nonequilibrium processes [18] [19]. However, no microscopic activation barrier, dissipation mechanism, or gravitational thermodynamic origin is derived in the present work.
5.7. Present Interpretation and Boundary
The present framework clarifies the coherent-shell interpretation, the distinct roles of the two redefinitions, the preservation of shell-local representatives, the coefficient-to-landing routing, the external MKSA 1 kg projection of
, and the algebraic appearance of 4.5π and
. These results establish structural organization and internal numerical consistency under the adopted map, but not a completed microscopic mechanism. The first-principles origins of the table-number base weights, the fifth-root order
, the anchors 4.5 and π, the branch orientation, and the physical necessity of the second redefinition remain unresolved.
6. Conclusion
This study reorganized the empirical CMB-temperature equations within a branch-resolved macro-micro readout framework. The adopted table-number rule preserved the four macro-micro connection equations and the equivalent SI composite displays within the numerical precision of the calculation. After conversion back to the MKSA reference system, the gravitational value is 6.674184325 × 10−11 m3·kg−1·s−2. A shell was interpreted as a coherent numerical-readout set consisting of a macroscopic unit, its corresponding microscopic reference quantity, and their shell-local representative. The first redefinition establishes a coherent normalized shell, whereas the second completes the branch-resolved placement required for the MKSA-referenced gravitational calculation. The coefficient branches are routed through the shell-local representatives and the common length gate to the electron-side voltage and proton-side current landings. Once the seed exponents are specified, the electromagnetic unit and landing sectors can also be reconstructed from standard electromagnetic unit relations. This establishes conditional consistency with the electromagnetic unit structure, but does not independently derive the seed values or the fifth-root calibration topology. On the gravitational side,
is treated as the primary readout, while
is expressed through the external MKSA 1 kg reference. The factor 9/4, together with the 2π factor in the minimum-mass relation, produces 4.5π. In the adopted representation,
has an activation-energy-like form, but no microscopic activation process or dissipation mechanism is derived in the present work. The physical origins of the table-number base weights, the fifth-root order
, the anchors 4.5 and π, the branch orientation, and the necessity of the second redefinition remain unexplained. The present framework therefore provides a coherent structural organization, but not a completed microscopic mechanism.
