Abstract and Introduction
As a consequence of binary mechanics (BM) fundamentals [1], a motion law states that objects tend to move in the direction of higher vacuum energy density [2]. As background, topics discussed include particles as compositions of multiple quanta, the mechanism of particle movement as a flux of individual quanta [3], the most likely motion direction and the equivalence of the gravitational field within a solid object and a quanta density gradient in its perfect vacuum component [4]. Predictions from this model have been confirmed by experimental results of Alex L Dmitriev et al, reporting weight decease with a (1) heated brass rod, (2) heating a piezo ceramic pile, (3) laser injection in optical fibers and (4) in gyros proportional to spin frequency and with horizontal more than vertical spin axis. The role of temperature in gravity-like effects has now been studied in two broad categories: distant objects not in direct contact and the special case of a weighed object resting on a scale.

Abstract and Introduction
Some consequences of defining the fine structure constant α as the probability of an electromagnetic interaction with a charged particle are explored using the Binary Mechanics Lab Simulator (BMLS) v2.8. An alpha α composite variable was introduced: (S + V) / M0, where S and V are scalar (electrostatic) and vector (magnetic) event counts respectively and M0 is the number of M-type quanta (1-state bits with charge attribute) prior to application of time-development bit operations and eligible to be "source quanta" in the S and V bit operations [1]. In brief, this α definition is simply the observed probability that a M quanta is accelerated by an electrostatic (S) or magnetic (V) potential. The α variable was not constant, but varied as a function of quanta density in the simulated volume (Fig. 1), suggesting that α may have appeared to be constant if previous measurements were conducted at a quanta density of approximately 0.237 of maximum possible density. Proton-electron mass ratio was also found to occur at about the same quanta density suggesting that this density range may approximate laboratory conditions close to "standard temperature and pressure".

Abstract and Introduction
The proton (hadron) bit cycle was rendered in a 3D animation illustrating features of the binary mechanics (BM) model of space [1] [2] and proton structure, discovered in 2011 [3] [4] and used in the first-ever derivation of Planck's constant from first principles of quantum theory in 2018 [5].

Abstract and Introduction
Inertial Propulsion may be described as conversion of angular momentum to linear momentum thus violating Newton’s mechanics in which these momentum types are separately conserved [1]. For example, Eric Laithwaite [2] and others have demonstrated translation motion of a gyro only when spinning called “precession”, as well as apparent levitation. Unlike Newton’s mechanics, the time-development laws of binary mechanics (BM) [3] [4] do not specifically require separate conservation of angular and linear momentum. However, energy (1-state bits called quanta) is conserved in BM. In fact, the BM time-development laws produce quanta motion alternating routinely between circular motion and translation and are the mechanism of inertial propulsion.

Abstract
Physics literature presents equations in which a measured physical constant is expressed as one or more other measured physical constants. These expressions (1) show dependencies among so-called "fundamental" constants which are in fact unexplained observations and (2) are not derivations from first principles. That is, a true derivation from first principles cannot use any unexplained data as one or more "input" parameters. Adding to previous reports [1] [2], a procedure to derive light speed with unidirectional measurements is described based only on the first principles of binary mechanics including the time-development laws [3] and a physical interpretation of binary mechanical space [4].
Introduction
With first principles describing electron geometry, zero electron electric dipole moment was derived in 2011 [5] and confirmed by two different labs [6]. With the discovery of the proton (hadron) bit cycle in 2011 [7], the non-spherical proton shape was described, confirmed by proton scattering data [8].
Using the classical definition of total angular momentum, intrinsic electron spin and hence, Planck's constant, were derived in 2015 [9]. In 2018, Planck's constant and both electron and proton intrinsic spin where derived using a different method by summation of the angular momentum of each quanta motion in the electron and proton bit cycles [10]. Fractional and elementary charge derivation was based on analysis of the time-development scalar (electrostatic) bit operation [11] and paved the way to derive intrinsic electron magnetic moment based solely on first principles, the elementary charge derivation and the classical definition of magnetic dipole moment [12].
These first-ever derivations of previously unexplained constants required full quantization of energy, space and time, namely the units of measurement in physics (Fig. 1). A primary constant value for each unit of measurement could be assigned that was consistent with the full set of derivations -- mass M as energy expressed in kg, length L in meters and time T in seconds [13]. These three values may complete the list of primary constants, if fine-structure constant α in Fig. 1 can also be successfully derived from first principles [Keene, in preparation].
Eight papers and research reports in 2020 further cemented the clear lead of JBinMech as the premier journal for milestone advances in particle and theoretical physics.
Light speed has been an unexplained observation wrongly characterized as a "fundamental physical constant" [1]. Hence, "Light speed derivation" [2] and previous reports deriving light speed for the first time from first principles, using three different measurement methods, may represent a remarkable, even stunning, development in this story that merits careful examination. "Binary mechanics postulates" [3] summarized these first principles based on quantization of space, time and energy, dubbed full quantization, in 17 simple equations without any reference to, or use of, unexplained measurements (c, h, e, me, etc), traditionally called fundamental constants, as input parameters.
"Fine structure constant derivation" [4] provided a credible, possible definition of the α value based only on binary mechanics postulates.
Binary mechanics postulates do not require that linear and angular momentum are separately conserved, as Newton's work is commonly presented. While macroscopic observations generally support the idea of separate conservation of linear and angular momentum, the inertial propulsion phenomenon in gyroscope behavior raised questions about this popular assumption. "Inertial propulsion mechanism" [5] documented how quanta (1-state bit loci) may routinely exchange linear and angular momentum components at the quanta microscopic level.
Boeing uses "inertial propulsion gyroscopes" to "levitate" low altitude satellites which would otherwise fall to earth prematurely, but can't explain it. "Motion law: gravitation edition" [6] used the motion law of binary mechanics to describe the fundamental mechanism for weight reduction produced by gyroscopes with horizontal rotors, citing experimental results.
"Proton structure 3D animation" [7] presented a 3D animation of proton structure and discussed key features determining observed proton behavior and why QCD (quantum chromodynamics) became obsolete due to use of legitimate, but inapplicable, math tools.
Finally, an editorial, "Physicists had a chance and they blew it" [8], described how the physics community missed a major opportunity. Instead, BML crossed the finish line and won the greatest race in physics in over 100 years. However, the good news is the abundance of additional opportunities -- more constants to derive from first principles, more detailed examination and replication of many pilot studies in JBinMech, more fundamental questions to address with further research, problems in all specialties in physics. Many new races to win.

Abstract and Introduction
Assertions that perfect vacuum and almost all of the volume of a single atom are "empty space" are questionable. In a replication of a previous simulation experiment [1] with additional analysis, perfect vacuum was defined as total energy density minus electron and nucleon particle density. Examining the entire range of non-zero energy quanta (1-state bit) densities, only about 12 percent or less of the quanta were associated with particles, indicating that perfect vacuum was composed of about 88 percent or more of quanta in the final state after cooling (Figs. 1 and 2). Threshold energy density for baryogenesis (nucleon formation) was 0.07 of maximum. In higher energy density initial states in the plasma and lepton-quark soup ranges, "explosive" centrifugal momentum leaves much lower particle and vacuum energy densities after cooling, which may be relevant to expanding universe questions.

Brief History of Quantum Theory
Abstract and Introduction
Quanta absorption by electron spots represents "quanta capture" by the electron bit cycle as described previously [1] [2]. In electron spots with E = 1 or E = 2, where E is number quanta (0 to 6), quanta absorption and emission events exhibit homeostatic properties which act to regulate or limit spot energy content. These effects are consistent with accepted models that absorption yields an excited electron state and emission represents return to a ground state. The present analysis aims to clarify the physical mechanisms in these processes.

Abstract and Introduction
Analysis of energy quanta distributions among spatial objects called spots [1] [2] revealed two quantum-level phenomena relevant to gravitation: dispersion and concentration of energy quanta (Fig. 1). First, in a lower energy density range, spots with multiple energy quanta dispersed, or lost, energy which was distributed to spots with initial lower, even zero, energy content. Second, at higher energy density, spots concentrated energy more than expected by random distribution. In brief, quantum analysis of spatial distribution of energy (and/or mass) identified two mechanisms which disperse or concentrate energy probably relevant to gravitational phenomena. A third mechanism was the effect of surface temperature on gravitation reported previously [3] [4] [5] [6]. The present results further integrate gravitation and space-time-energy quantization in binary mechanics and support a multi-factor treatment of gravity-related phenomena.

Abstract and Introduction
Binary mechanics (BM) predicts the exact composition of protons and neutrons with maximum energy content but zero motion at zero degrees Kelvin. In this configuration, sequential loci in the proton and electron bit cycles are filled with alternating 0- and 1-state bits (Figs. 2 and 4) because zero motion requires absence of adjacent energy quanta pairs in the cycle sequence. Bit function analysis of particle composition after cooling to zero Kelvin completely confirms this hypothesis (Fig. 3). Results further illustrate how bit function analysis methodology may continue to support the leading position of Binary Mechanics Lab (BML) in advanced particle physics research.
