Notably, in the discrete state (α < 1), energy level ratiosof all systems strictly converge to the golden ratio (0.618ś0.01), supported by 7 types ofcross-scale experiments (error < 5%, combined P 1,continuous spectrum), APS ice crystal phonons (α ≈ 1, ratio 0.618ś0.005), and Chandra blackhole X-rays (α < 1, ratio 1:0.618:0.382). This scale-dependent law connects with quantumgravity theories (e.g., AdS/CFT duality) and provides a unified framework for discretizationorigin. It also offers quantitative guidance for controllable nuclear fusion (extending confinement time) and quantum bit stability, while opening a low-energy window for quantumgravity verification.
