The Theory of Persistence

Epistemic audit

Result status

This page is a guardrail. A result may be exact, proved, derived under a bridge, numerically validated, predictive, or still conditional. These statuses must not be mixed.

PT’s strength comes from the complete chain: an exact identity is not by itself a physical law, and numerical validation does not turn a derivation into a theorem.
IDENTITY

Exact identity

Algebraic or informational equality, independent of a physical bridge.

THM

Theorem

Result proved within the mathematical framework of the monograph.

BRIDGE

Bridge

Structural hypothesis or identification linking arithmetic and physics.

DER

Derivation

Consequence computed under the announced bridges and definitions.

VAL

Validation

Numerical or structural comparison with external data.

PRED

Prediction

Falsifiable window still open to measurement or reproduction.

The table below is a reading map, not a status promotion: it indicates where each family of results can be checked.

Central rule: statuses protect the theory from itself. They prevent a bridge hypothesis from being presented as a mathematical identity, or a numerical validation as an independent proof.
