Evidence of the big fix
Open accessAbstract
We give an evidence of the Big Fix. The theory of wormholes and multiverse suggests that the parameters of the Standard Model are fixed in such a way that the total entropy at the late stage of the universe is maximized, which we call the maximum entropy principle. In this paper, we discuss how it can be confirmed by the experimental data, and we show that it is indeed true for the Higgs vacuum expectation value v h. We assume that the baryon number is produced by the sphaleron process, and that the current quark masses, the gauge couplings and the Higgs self-coupling are fixed when we vary v h. It turns out that the existence of the atomic nuclei plays a crucial role to maximize the entropy. This is reminiscent of the anthropic principle, however it is required by the fundamental law in our case.

In the Lorentzian approach of Kawai and Okada and Hamada et al., the density matrix ρ describing our large universe peaks at vanishing cosmological constant, as in Coleman's mechanism, albeit with a much milder power-law dependence.
“Under these assumptions, it is argued that the density matrix ρ peaks at vanishing cosmological constant, as in Coleman's mechanism, albeit with a much milder power-law dependence.”

Reinterpretations of Coleman's mechanism have recently been explored in the context of the cosmological constant and other fine tuning problems of the Standard Model.
“Nevertheless, reinterpretations of Coleman's mechanism have recently been explored in the context of the cosmological constant and other fine tuning problems of the Standard Model (Kawai andOkada, 2011, 2012;Hamada et al., 2014Hamada et al., , 2015)).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
