Transparent audit
The Theory of Persistence submits itself to an explicit internal audit. This page makes public the inventory of structural choices, external audits and applied corrections.
The 10 structural commitments (C1–C10)
Each discrete choice in the derivation chain is closed by an independent classical mathematical argument. All ten sit at THM. None is a continuous parameter; none can be tuned to improve a fit.
SCU calibration as Buckingham π convention
1 SCU ≡ 1 MeV. Dissolved as a unit convention; cf. App. P §C1.
N(p) = (p+1)^(p+1) − 1 universal
Domain [p+1] via ZFC + L0 max-entropy; simplified plain-Set + ZFC additivity proof.
n_up = 9/8 via 2-loop Fisher on T³
T³ Fisher amplitude derived; cf. ch10 thm:n_up_fisher_T3.
NNLO coefficient 5/18 = p₂/(2p₁²)
Pontryagin + Wick + T6 cyclic-phase loop closure.
Fisher–Koide NLO 1/21
1/21 = Haar(Z/3Z) × Haar(Z/7Z); f₅ excluded NNLO via T6.
Berry holonomy 3π
Limit N_gen × π justified by self-consistency.
Linear γ₃ in the spiral resummation
Promoted to THM 2026-04-26; App. P §C7 pp. 681-683.
24 quark exponents
Catalogue closed by combinatorial enumeration.
Higgs portal δ = m_H²/M²
Inverse hierarchy excluded; cf. App. P §C9.
Super-echo {11,13,17,19,23}
Hadronic cutoff p = 23 derived.
Peer-review status
Preprint — not peer-reviewed. The author welcomes critical scrutiny and independent verification. The canonical registry has 56 companion Python script entries, 2,522/2,523 passing checks, and 1 known failure independent of recent additions; the public scripts and reports remain reproducible.
