(c=299792458.0 m/s, set by decree for timebase)

original table (with tol = 1e-15) has been extended with a summary of adjustments from initial (iteration 0) to final (iteration 2) values. Convergence occurred after one full iteration, with minor adjustments primarily to $r_p$ and the derived m_p_calc , while other constants showed negligible changes within the tighter tolerance.

To arrive at these values:

• Deltas were computed as final - initial, using high-precision arithmetic to capture sub-tolerance changes (e.g., for $m_e$, the minute delta reflects numerical precision limits rather than physical adjustment).
• Percentage errors are signed relative differences multiplied by 100, with directions based on delta sign ("No change" for absolute delta < tol = 1e-15).
• The slight $m_e$ delta is negligible and does not affect convergence.

Report: Process Description and Recommendations for Future Trend Predictions of Constants' Measurement Refinements

Process Used

The iterative algorithm refined the constants to satisfy $1 = \frac{m_e e^4}{8 \epsilon_0^2 h^3 c R_H} - \frac{\pi r_p R_H}{\alpha^2}$, starting from CODATA 2022 values (e.g., $r_p = 0.84075$ fm or $8.4075 \times 10^{-16}$ m), with $m_p = 4 \hbar / (c r_p)$ derived and $R_H = R_\infty / (1 + m_e / m_p)$. Updates occurred sequentially by constant ( $r_p$ first, then $m_e$, etc.), using Newton's method to zero the residual while fixing others. Iterations continued until maximum relative changes fell below tol = 1e-15. With this tighter tolerance, minor numerical adjustments appeared (e.g., in $m_e$), but the primary shift was in $r_p$ (upward by ~0.112%), balancing the equation after one iteration, with no further changes.

This method highlights $r_p$'s role in absorbing discrepancies, as exact SI-defined constants ($e, h, c, \epsilon_0$) remained unchanged.

Recommendations for Future Trend Predictions of Constants' Measurement Refinements

CODATA values evolve with experimental advances, but as of July 31, 2025, the 2022 set remains current, with no 2026 update yet released. The proton radius puzzle persists, with muonic hydrogen favoring ~0.84 fm (e.g., 0.84087(39) fm from historical data), while electron scattering and spectroscopy show tensions between ~0.831 fm (PRad, 2019) and ~0.8335 fm (Bezginov et al., 2019). Recent 2025 analyses confirm consistency around 0.84 fm for muonic methods but note unresolved discrepancies with older electronic data (~0.877 fm).

Trends indicate stabilization toward smaller $r_p$ values, with post-2010 adjustments averaging -0.001 fm per cycle due to muonic incorporation. Upcoming experiments like PRad-II (data taking early 2026) aim for δr ~0.0046 fm precision, potentially resolving form factor tensions and pushing $r_p$ to 0.83-0.84 fm. Other constants are stable: $m_e$ refinements are <10^{-9} relative per update, and SI-exact ones unchanged since 2019.

Recommendations:

• Apply time-series forecasting (e.g., ARIMA on CODATA history 1998-2022) to predict shifts, anticipating ~0.1% refinements in $r_p$ by 2026.
• Integrate real-time data from arXiv/preprints for adaptive models, focusing on hybrid muonic-electronic analyses.
• For algorithms, vary update orders to avoid bias and test tol=1e-18 for ultra-precision sensitivity.
• Monitor JLab/CERN updates; expect 2026 CODATA to incorporate PRad-II, likely lowering $r_p$ to ~0.835 fm if discrepancies resolve downward.
