Tetrahedral Rotation Theory (TRT)

“When light is confined, time begins.” – Frode Nystad

What if nature is a tetrahedron?

What if the laws of physics trace back to a single, perfect shape? Tetrahedral Rotation Theory (TRT) explores a parameter‑free geometric framework where elementary particles arise as resonant standing waves in a discrete tetrahedral lattice. From the fixed angles and A₄ symmetry of a regular tetrahedron, TRT derives crisp, testable numbers—such as the fine‑structure constant, lepton and quark mass ratios, and the Zitterbewegung amplitude—without adjustable parameters. Spin, charge, and even the three particle generations emerge from rotation geometry itself. Discover how far a simple shape can go when it becomes a predictive engine for fundamental physics.

Who am I?

Frode Nystad is an independent Norwegian researcher. Over the past several years, he has single-handedly developed Tetrahedral Rotation Theory (TRT).

Working without institutional support or external funding, Frode has built the entire theory from first principles — with fully open-source derivations, reproducible calculations, and numerical simulations.

He is driven by a deep conviction that nature’s laws are simple, elegant, and geometric — and that true science should be accessible to everyone.
