Prephysics Research Programme
The programme’s open research basis.
This page distinguishes research papers from other public research records. All fourteen papers below are publicly available preprints; none is presented here as a peer-reviewed publication. Journal status, where relevant, is kept separate from this public register. A separate preregistration block follows the paper register; the Zenodo Community also contains book, guide and methodology records, so its total record count is higher. For the preregistration, the dated Version DOI of the scientific execution anchor is primary; the Concept DOI additionally opens the complete and current version series, including later clerical clarifications.
Rebases P1 as a goal-relative functional account: four admitted functions form a partial dependency structure and support explicit two-component projection warrants for A1–A6; the former seven-level linear emergence path is no longer used as evidential basis.
Claim-relative roles, nine routes, transition profiles, and the Bridge Burden / Discharge / Debt architecture.
A token-level verdict protocol for physical claims. It freezes a versioned claim, adjudicates token satisfaction, filters applicability-relevant deficits, and records a time-indexed PASS / OPEN / Loss of Applicability verdict.
A verdict protocol for AI-based physical discovery claims.
Applicability diagnostics for interpretations of quantum mechanics.
The initial-conditions regress and the limits of presuppositionless explanation.
A constraint map across cosmological origin strategies.
Self-applicability and the diagnostic limits of final-theory claims.
Introduces the Functional Incompleteness Argument (FIA): complete, auditable claim-level applicability diagnosis requires recoverable requirement, transition-warrant and token-satisfaction information, none recoverable from the other two. P1 → P2 → P3 is one concrete realisation; the separate fourteen-case study calibrates S1–S7.
A regime-sensitive audit of the standard cosmological model.
Tracks the highest claim-resolution licensed by a documented cosmological analysis, distinguishing evidential strength from attributional resolution.
Identifies a low-redshift observer-vertex compatibility obstruction when the standard dressed timescape distance and expansion-rate observables are used together in a general-spacetime diagnostic.
Why fundamental physics requires a licensing discipline.
A modal-audit case study comparing body-level warrant, citable-surface scope, revision history and a frozen ADS–INSPIRE reception corpus.
Publicly deposited protocols that fix analysis decisions before execution. They are listed separately from the fourteen research papers above.
Scientific execution anchor: v0.4, deposited 16 September 2026. This version carries TA-02 and leaves the scientific test architecture unchanged relative to TA-01. A later v0.5 clerical/provenance clarification is part of the series and leaves the scientific design unchanged; the Concept DOI opens the complete and current version series. The core design record was deposited as v0.2 on 12 September. The normative TA-01 amendment is v1.1: its internal change record is dated 13 September and it was publicly deposited with v0.3 on 15 September. As of 16 September, no source-baseline or controlled-switch numerical evidence run had been executed; execution remains pending.
