-
Paper 0: why three dimensions and a time
What the dimensionality argument actually establishes, which is admissibility rather than optimality, and why the difference matters.
-
Paper 1: novelty as an exact resource theory
Making novelty a monotone rather than a slogan, so that no free operation can manufacture it.
-
Paper 2: the two-level architecture
An observer inside a branch sees conserved information. The substrate manages many branches. Keeping those two levels apart is the hard part.
-
Paper 3: the psi field and where leakage comes from
The boundary permeability field, its instanton suppression, and the physical parent it was missing until recently.
-
Paper 4: gravity as an emergent connection
Plebanski BF theory, a mass gap from the category, and the honest gap between BF and general relativity.
-
Paper 5: the cosmological constant, twice wrong and now partly right
Two retractions, one derived capacity, and one exponent that matches to three parts in a hundred thousand.
-
Paper 6: rotation curves from a very long-range mode
A condensate at 10 to the minus 28 metres cannot explain galaxies. Add a horizon-set collective mode and it can reach them.
-
Paper 7: the anyon Standard Model, and why it was withdrawn
The most seductive idea in the programme: build the Standard Model from four anyons. It did not survive.
-
Paper 8: anomaly cancellation and three generations
Arithmetic that genuinely works, and the part of it that turned out to be standard GUT normalisation wearing a costume.
-
Paper 9: the flavour pipeline
Yukawa couplings from fusion data. Where it fits, where it fails by a factor of two, and the Clebsch factors nobody derived.
-
Paper 9b: neutrinos and a baryon asymmetry I cannot yet derive
A two-parameter fit that predicts the neutrino mass sum, followed by a leptogenesis claim that does not survive substitution.
-
Paper 10: a feature in the primordial spectrum
The claim that a phase is fixed by modular data, why that claim is weak, and the standard mechanism that supplies it instead.
-
Paper 10a: inflation from branch nucleation, withdrawn
A clean idea with no mechanism behind the number it produced. Archived rather than deleted.
-
Paper 10b: model comparison as the honest test
A likelihood pipeline built so that the framework can lose. That is the point of building it.
-
Paper 11: structure growth, withdrawn
Another archived paper, and a note on why archiving beats deleting.
-
Paper 12: the unification paper, and what it is allowed to claim
The synthesis of the whole architecture, now carrying a status label on every single entry.
-
Paper 13: leakage as a transmission problem
Asking the same question as Paper 3 but inside a slab of topological field theory, where the answer is either zero or one.
-
Paper 14: could a lab see this?
Blinded protocols for surface codes and matter-wave decoherence, written before any data exists.
-
Paper 15: holographic noise as a spectral shape
If the substrate has a discreteness scale, it has a noise spectrum. Deriving the shape is the testable part.
-
Paper 16: the competing avenues
An honest map of everyone else working on many worlds, gravity and simulation evidence, with falsification criteria for each.
-
Paper 17: the computational multiverse
The newest paper, and the one that stopped leaning on the topological sector. Seven derivations that hold whatever happens to the rest.
-
The gauge coupling ratios, withdrawn
A no-go that was correct but was written up as a derivation. Archived.
-
Paper 7a: baryogenesis, withdrawn
Baryogenesis built on a Lagrangian that had already been withdrawn. Archived with the rest.
-
The Copenhagen–Everett Bridge
New preprint. Copenhagen and Everett have been treated as competitors for seven decades, with the Born rule as the wedge between them. This argues a conservation law removes the wedge.
