not explained
the long list
What this theory does not explain.
Quantum mechanics — assumed wholesale (Hilbert space, Born rule, ħ, Lindblad structure): the theory runs on QM and explains nothing about it. Space — the lattice, its dimension and topology are postulated. Time — the evolution parameter is assumed. Matter — no fermions, no spin, no Standard Model, no particle masses, no generations, no weak or strong force; "consumption" is a placeholder. Relativity — no dynamics is built: no waves, no g₀ᵢ, no quadrupole radiation, no Lorentz invariance; the tensor junction that must supply them is a formal skeleton with a four-digit target, not a construction. Every actual number — no physical units anywhere; the theory has locks between observables, not values. Its own axioms — motivated, not derived.
wounds
carried openly
The open wounds.
the second-order cosmological-constant problem
Λ's sign closes (the bill is positive); its scale does not: face-value, the ξ² bill needs suppression by up to 10⁸⁹ relative to the substrate scale. The Gaussian zero kills the 120-order leading problem; the residual is the theory's sharpest unexplained number.
the units bridge
One conversion factor (cdrag, toy value 0.02 at unit read-rate) stands between every class-[C] bracket and a physical number. Unbuilt.
the mass-scale half of the hierarchy
Q explains why gravity's rate is slow; why λ·m is tiny in substrate units — the mass-scale half — is untouched.
debts
priced
The debts with posted prices.
Three exact numbers the missing sectors owe: Δβ = +0.5000 ± 0.0001 (the tensor junction — derive it as Bianchi's theorem or the theory tunes, which its own rules score as death); 3.604 (the matter sector's charge normalization, S∞/α⁻¹); d ln μ/d ln α = 0 (any future drift detection). The holes have prices; arithmetic will collect.
calibration
What the words mean here.
The claims live on a gradient, strongest to weakest: theorems (proven, machine-verified) → measurements (exact numerics in harmonic toys of 12–200 sites; transfer to nature is a hypothesis) → readings ("this sector is electromagnetism") — interpretations, the least-tested layer, historically the fastest-dying → bets (dated, with kill conditions; settled record 0 for, 1 against). "Pre-registered" here means gates written before code by the same agent in the same context — a real discipline that caught real errors, but not the epistemic firewall the word implies externally. Nothing on this site has been externally reviewed.
provenance
Who did this, and how.
One human (who prefers to remain unnamed) and one AI (Claude, Anthropic), over an intensive research program whose final arc — the audited vacuum — emerged from the public dissection of its own failed predecessors. Adversarial review was performed by the AI operating referee personas (one constructive, one hostile); this is a declared methodological device, not independent peer review — though its findings materially amended the theory (one discarded term 685× the kept one; one settled forecast). The manuscript: the two theorems and the constructive result, 7 pages.
archive
How this was found — the full history.
This site presents the theory; it does not tell the story. The story — two years, ninety-four numbered experiments, twenty-eight of our own ideas buried by pre-registered gates (including the theory this program was named after), two referee reports, one contradictory analysis of our own case, and every superseded page — is preserved unedited: the graveyard · the account (the narrative front page this one replaced) · the full archive · the equation ledger · the constants ledger · the original forecast ledger · the state report. The graveyard is not decoration: it is the only reason to believe the pages that survived.
