Quantum gravity and the transformation of a neutron star or the merger of two neutron stars into a black hole are important topics in cosmology. According to the Schwarzschild radius relationship, a black hole arises when two times of the gravitational binding energy of the gravitational system, GBE, equal the annihilation energy of its total mass. From a quantum perspective, the integer number of neutrons defines the GBE and mass in the merger of binary pure neutron stars transforming to a black hole. Therefore, one can scale all gravitational binding energy relationships by using neutron mass, energy, distance, time, or frequency equivalents. We define  of the neutron as the binding energy, 1.4188 × 10⁻⁴⁹ J, of a virtual system of two neutrons separated by the neutron Compton wavelength. The  divided by a neutron’s rest mass energy represents a fundamental, dimensionless proportionality constant, 9.4252 × 10⁻⁴⁰, . The square root of , α_G, which we introduce here as a coupling constant, is identical in concept to the fine structure constant found in electromagnetic physics, but for gravity. Both α_G and  inter-relate the neutron, proton, electron, Bohr radius, speed of light, Planck’s constant, GBE of the electron in hydrogen, and Planck time. This paper demonstrates a direct conceptual and computational rationale of why the neutron and its negative beta decay quantum products accurately can represent a quantum gravitational natural unit system.
