This project documents the collaborative development of the Methane Metauniverse (MMU) — a geometric, tetrahedral model of matter and space formulated through an extended dialogue between a human researcher and the generative AI system ChatGPT. The MMU framework interprets quantum and gravitational phenomena as oscillatory and torsional processes within an elastic tetrahedral lattice, where the internal coordinates (w1–w4) represent orthogonal components of spatial vibration and projection. Over multiple iterations, theoretical derivations, LaTeX manuscripts, and numerical simulations were produced to explore atomic spectra, spin interactions, and field dynamics within this geometric space. The project also serves as a case study in AI-assisted theoretical physics, demonstrating how generative models can support hypothesis formation, mathematical refinement, and the writing of scientific publications. All included preprints are openly available on OSF, representing successive stages of the model’s evolution and the emerging methodology of human–AI co-research.
