Abstract

We introduce Scale Factorized-Quantum Field Theory (SF-QFT), a framework performing path-integral factorization of ultraviolet and infrared momentum modes at a physical scale QQ^* before perturbative expansion through Effective Dynamical Renormalization (EDR) with Principle of Observable Effective Matching (POEM) constraints. This yields completely scale and scheme invariant observables. Because the two-loop β\beta-function is universal, aeff(Q)a_{\mathrm{eff}}(Q) evolves with scheme-independent equations, with higher-order β\beta-coefficients absorbed into Wilson coefficients. For the inclusive ratio Re+eR_{e^{+}e^{-}}, SF-QFT gives RSFQFT(31.6GeV)=1.05262±0.0005R^{\mathrm{SF-QFT}}(31.6\,\mathrm{GeV}) = 1.05262 \pm 0.0005, in excellent agreement with experiment (1.0527±0.0051.0527 \pm 0.005) while requiring calculations orders of magnitude simpler than conventional four-loop MS\overline{\mathrm{MS}} approaches. SF-QFT generates universal algebraic recursion relations producing all higher-order contributions without additional Feynman diagrams. For QED, the formalism yields scheme-independent predictions for the electron anomalous magnetic moment with aetheory=0.00115965218061(76)a_e^{\text{theory}} = 0.001\,159\,652\,180\,61(76), differing from experiment by only 0.15σ0.15\sigma. The framework enables self-consistent extraction of αeff1(me)=137.036005301\alpha_{\text{eff}}^{-1}(m_e) = 137.036005301. SF-QFT represents a paradigm shift, replacing pursuit of ever-higher loop orders with a unified framework eliminating renormalization ambiguities through systematic EDR and POEM implementation.
