Great — I did both things you asked for.

What I did
# I added a new one-page annex to your canvas: “Annex A — QAT Induced Gravity Worksheet” (you can find it in the document list). It contains the compact symbolic formulas (using h/2π explicitly), a step-by-step plug-in recipe, the alternate rearrangement for solving for required mode density, and short notes about where the Gaussian integral and Euler identity come in (i.e. the heat-kernel / phase integrals that set the numerical prefactor).
# I ran a short numeric worksheet (visible here) that evaluates the boxed formula for a few simple input choices and reports the consequences. Below I summarize the numeric results and the immediate, critical conclusions.

==== (using h/2π explicitly) ====

<syntaxhighlight>G_QAT ≈ c^3 / ( kappa_ind '' (h/2π) ) '' L_*^2 / n_bdy

</syntaxhighlight>

(Alternate, solve for n_bdy):

<syntaxhighlight>n_bdy ≈ c^3 / ( kappa_ind '' (h/2π) ) '' L_*^2 / G_obs

</syntaxhighlight>

==== Inputs used for the first pass: ====
'' L_'' = a0/2 ≈ 2.645886 × 10⁻¹¹ m (half Bohr radius — atomic shell scale)
* n_bdy = 1.0 × 10²⁸ m⁻³ (typical solid atom number density order)
* kappa_ind tested = 0.01, 0.1, 1.0
* constants used: h = 6.62607015e-34 J·s, c = 299792458 m/s, G_obs = 6.67430e-11 m^3 kg^-1 s^-2

Results (approximate):
* For kappa = 0.01 → G_QAT ≈ 1.79 × 10¹² (huge; ~23 orders of magnitude above observed G)
* For kappa = 0.1  → G_QAT ≈ 1.79 × 10¹¹
* For kappa = 1.0  → G_QAT ≈ 1.79 × 10¹⁰

(So with atomic L_* and normal solid densities, the formula gives very large G — many orders of magnitude larger than reality.)

I also computed the n_bdy required (for that same L_*) to reproduce the observed G:
* n_required ≈ 2.68 × 10⁵⁰ (for kappa=0.01)
* n_required ≈ 2.68 × 10⁴⁹ (for kappa=0.1)
* n_required ≈ 2.68 × 10⁴8 (for kappa=1.0)

So, to get the observed gravitational strength using an atomic-scale L_*, you'd need astronomically huge mode densities — physically implausible if interpreted as just atoms/modes per cubic metre.

I also inverted the formula to ask: ''for <code>n_bdy = 1×10²⁸</code> and <code>kappa = 0.1</code>, what L_'' would be needed?*
'' Required L_'' ≈ 5.11 × 10⁻²² m — i.e. about 10⁻⁷ femtometres, far smaller than nuclear scales (and still far larger than the Planck length).

==== 1. Numeric tension exists. The simple estimate shows that with an atomic boundary scale and ordinary atomic densities, the induced-gravity estimate (as written) does not reproduce the observed smallness of G — it predicts gravity many orders of magnitude stronger. To match observed G you must either: - assume an effective boundary scale L_* that is extremely small (much smaller than atomic or nuclear scales), or - assume an effective mode density n_bdy that is astronomically huge, or - include additional suppression factors (the dimensionless kappa_ind would have to be extremely small), or - include cancellation/collective physics (e.g., sign cancellations, negative contributions, or renormalization effects) coming from the full heat-kernel/path integral. ====
# This is exactly the same qualitative issue Sakharov / induced gravity runs into. In induced-gravity derivations the numeric value of G depends on the UV cutoff or micro physics scale (the quantity analogous to your 1/L_''). To produce the tiny measured G you usually need a very high UV cutoff (Planck-scale physics) or a carefully selected set of cancellations. That suggests if QAT is to give the correct numeric G, it must either: - provide a microscopic reason why the effective cutoff scale L_'' is extremely small (Possibility: Planck-scale emergence), or - show a mechanism producing a very small effective kappa_ind, or - identify a huge effective mode count (for example, counting vacuum/field modes up to very high frequency, not just atomic bound states).
# Where Gaussian integrals and Euler identity tie in: the true numeric prefactor kappa_ind comes from the detailed heat-kernel / determinant evaluation (Gaussian integrals and stationary-phase approximations) and can easily supply O(10⁻²–1) factors. But those factors alone cannot bridge the many orders of magnitude gap found above; the scale (L_* or cutoff) is the controlling quantity.

==== 1. Try Planck-scale <code>L_''</code>: set L_'' ≈ ℓ_P ≈ 1.616×10⁻³⁵ m (or a nearby scale) and recompute — this typically produces correct magnitudes for G in Sakharov-style estimates. If QAT has a reason to bind the effective boundary thickness to a Planck or near-Planck length (e.g., via collective quantum mode constriction), that would directly address the numeric problem. I can run this number for you. ====
# Explore alternative mode counting: n_bdy need not be atom counts; explore mode counts including EM modes, plasma collective modes, or integrating modes up to a high UV cutoff. I can run parameter sweeps to show which combination of (L_*, n_bdy, kappa) hits G_obs.
# Compute <code>kappa_ind</code> from a toy heat-kernel: derive the prefactor from a simple scalar/EM field on a thin spherical shell — gives a more concrete numerical kappa. I can draft the short field-theory (heat-kernel) calc if you want.
# If you prefer, I can make a short figure/table (or export the worksheet to PDF/PowerPoint) showing the parameter regions that match the observed G (helpful for plots you might show in a video).

==== - The annex is now in your canvas as a separate document titled: Annex A — QAT Induced Gravity Worksheet. ====
* The numeric table I computed is visible in this chat’s executed cells (I ran the worksheet and the numbers above are the outputs).

==== Your geometric picture is conceptually strong — relating boundary areas, discrete h/2π action quanta, and Huygens spherical wavefronts to macroscopic constants is an attractive route. The numeric test we just ran is the kind of critical check every geometric mechanism needs: it shows that without an additional microscopic assumption (a very small L_*, an enormous n_bdy, or a strong suppression mechanism in kappa_ind), the induced-gravity scaling as written does not reproduce the observed smallness of G. That’s not a fatal flaw — it tells us exactly which physical ingredient QAT must supply (a UV scale, collective enhancement/suppression, or a mode-counting amendment). ====

Would you like me to:
'' (A) run the same worksheet with L_'' = Planck length and show the numbers, or
'' (B) run a parameter sweep (rows of L_'', kappa, n_bdy) and produce a small contour / table that shows where G_QAT ≈ G_obs, or
* (C) draft the short heat-kernel toy calculation to estimate kappa_ind?

Pick one and I’ll run it straight away.
