A research field for auditing the conditions under which physical descriptions are applicable.
Prephysics is not an alternative physics and not a speculative ontology. It is the systematic analysis of the conditions that must be satisfied before a physical description can legitimately be applied.
Core distinction: formal admissibility is not the same as physical applicability. A model can be mathematically coherent while still lacking a licensed interface to a specific physical regime.
The programme uses explicit diagnostic criteria to evaluate whether a claim has sufficient target anchoring, ordering structure, robustness, non-arbitrary alternatives, carrier/support structure, and connectivity to neighboring descriptions.
