Prephysics Research Programme

Applicability Diagnostics

A constitutive architecture, a diagnostic protocol and cross-domain applications.

Guiding question

When is a physical description licensed?

The programme separates what a theory says from the prior question of the conditions under which it may be applied to a concrete situation.

Architecture of Applicability Diagnostics
The programme’s complete architecture.

Instrument

A compact architecture with explicit audit paths

L1 · Conditions of applicability

What must hold for the theory to be applied to the situation.

L2 · Theoretical content

What the theory asserts within its formal framework.

L3 · Empirical application

What measurement and data actually license in the concrete inference.

A1–A6

Target, interface, domain, empirical basis, carrier structure and constraints.

PASS / OPEN / LoA

Satisfied, unresolved or outside the licensed domain.

S1–S7

Recurring failure signatures tested across cases.

Applications

Eight research lines

Quantum interpretations

Applicability testing of interpretive frameworks.

AI discovery

Licensing machine-found physical claims.

Origin strategies

Constraints on explanations of cosmological origins.

Finality

Self-applicability of comprehensive theory claims.

Standard cosmology

Regime and licensing questions in GR+ΛCDM.

Quantum foundations

No-go theorems, observation and test architecture.

Evidence theory

Discriminative capacity, contrasts and auxiliaries.

History of cosmology

FLRW as a historically changing idealisation.

Open research basis

The published programme basis is DOI-linked and available through Zenodo. Journal processes are not publicly documented during anonymous review.
