Transparent audit

This page gathers the structural choices, internal checks, external audits and applied corrections. It acts as a critical reading register for the site and the monograph.

Each C1–C10 commitment is presented as a discrete choice with its epistemic status. Since the B4 requalification of 14 August 2026, the official counter C1–C12 stands at 5 [THM] + 6 [DER]/[COND] + 1 [VAL]. The goal is to separate what is proved, derived, validated, predicted or still open.

Open preprint: the site keeps the solid points and the points still to verify visible.

Structural commitments C1–C10

Each discrete choice in the derivation chain is closed by an explicit argument and carries its own epistemic status. Since the B4 requalification of 14 August 2026, the official counter runs over C1–C12 and stands at 5 THM + 6 DER/COND + 1 VAL. Of the ten commitments listed below, five are THM and five are DER/COND; C11 (VAL) and C12 (DER/COND) are not detailed on this page. None is a continuous parameter; none can be tuned to improve a fit.

C1 THM

SCU calibration as Buckingham π convention

1 SCU ≡ 1 MeV. Dissolved as a unit convention; cf. App. P §C1.

C2 THM

N(p) = (p+1)^(p+1) − 1 universal

Domain [p+1] via ZFC + L0 max-entropy; simplified plain-Set + ZFC additivity proof.

C3 DER/COND

n_up = 9/8 via 2-loop Fisher on T³

T³ Fisher amplitude derived; cf. ch10 thm:n_up_fisher_T3.

C4 DER/COND

NNLO coefficient 5/18 = p₂/(2p₁²)

Exact once its incidence topology and its role assignment are fixed; conditional status (B4 requalification, 14 August 2026).

C5 DER/COND

Fisher–Koide NLO 1/21

1/21 = Haar(Z/3Z) × Haar(Z/7Z); f₅ excluded NNLO via T6.

C6 DER/COND

Berry holonomy 3π

Limit N_gen × π justified by self-consistency.

C7 THM

Linear γ₃ in the spiral resummation

Promoted to THM 2026-04-26; App. P §C7 pp. 681-683.

C8 DER/COND

24 quark exponents

Catalogue closed by combinatorial enumeration.

C9 THM

Higgs portal δ = m_H²/M²

Inverse hierarchy excluded; cf. App. P §C9.

C10 THM

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Preprint — not peer-reviewed.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.
