Fine-Structure Constant as a Cross-Ratio: A Geometric Reframing of α
The fine-structure constant alpha is reframed as the cross-ratio of two measurable electron length scales (classical radius / Compton wavelength). Version 1.0 adds the adelically extended cross-ratio on Bruhat-Tits buildings, explicit falsifiability conditions, and synthesis with the QNFO adelic physics program (July 2026).

Abstract
The fine-structure constant alpha is reframed as the cross-ratio of two measurable electron length scales (classical radius / Compton wavelength). Version 1.0 adds the adelically extended cross-ratio on Bruhat-Tits buildings, explicit falsifiability conditions, and synthesis with the QNFO adelic physics program (July 2026).
