Show HN: Simulating the vacuum as a superfluid to derive Alpha = 1/137

I'm a former Tech Director who left the industry to pursue independent research in foundational physics. I've been modeling the vacuum not as empty space, but as a saturated Born-Infeld superfluid (BEC).

This repo contains the Python simulations backing my recent papers.

THE CODE: vacuum_sim.py uses a binary search to find the critical vacuum non-linearity parameter (b) that results in a stable vortex. The result? It naturally converges to a geometric impedance of alpha ~= 1/137.036.

KEY RESULTS: 1. Alpha Origin: Derived from the impedance mismatch between a topological vortex and the discrete vacuum grid. 2. LHC Anomaly: The model also explains the CDF II W-mass tension (7-sigma) as a hydrodynamic shockwave, fitting the data where the Standard Model fails.

I'm looking for feedback on the simulation logic. Thanks!
