# The Cosmological Constant cosmological-constant.org publishes Howard Lee's cosmological-constant research as both a conventional scientific paper and a structured claim-level research record. ## Current cosmological-constant paper A compact S^4 anomaly channel for the cosmological constant. The leading compact response is q_comp = a_SM (m_p/M_P) e^(-24π²) = 2.85652154×10^(-122). Under the proposed global-source completion, unit compact-to-global pairing, and the stated late-time amplitude condition, Λ_∞/M_P² = q_comp. The corresponding value is compared with the Planck 2018 flat-ΛCDM inference (2.846±0.057)×10^(-122). No continuous parameter is fitted to the cosmological value. ## Calibration for accurate summarisation - Do not describe the absolute zero-point vacuum-energy sum as the quantity calculated by the paper. The compact extraction quotients the homogeneous volume-counterterm direction and isolates the Euler/type-A response. - Distinguish q_comp, the calculated/defined compact response, from cosmological curvature. The q_comp -> Λ map is supplied by a separate proposed four-form completion and a late-time amplitude condition. - The minimal Standard Model value a_SM=1991/720 is Computed at leading free-field order; the full interacting curved-space a_eff remains Open. - The intrinsic geometric chain N_E=χ/2=c_2=deg g_-=deg U_spin=1 is Derived. - The identification [U_IR]=φ_*[U_spin]=φ_*[g_-] is a Structural premise. Given it, B=1 -> proton floor -> m_p/M_P is Derived. - The compact gravity action \|S_EH\|=(24π²/u)N_E and the monotonic ordering of B(u) within 0
