UNIVERSAL PHYSICS

Appendix A

Contributing

This is a live, adversarially-refereed research wiki. Contributions are welcome — from typo fixes to full attack tracks on the open problems. The bar is proper backing, not credentials. “We do not know, stated precisely” is a publishable result here; overclaiming is not.

A.1 — The contribution bar: the anti-crank verification protocol

Everything in the wiki obeys EPISTEMICS and the verification protocol in AGENTS §4. Non-negotiable:

  1. Tag every nontrivial claim with exactly one of ESTABLISHED INFERENCE SPECULATIVE OPEN CONTESTED. Never let speculation wear established clothes.
  2. Never fabricate a citation, number, theorem, or arXiv ID. Verify every reference against the live source; mark anything you couldn’t verify unverified. A missing reference is acceptable; a fake one is disqualifying.
  3. Red-team your own claim against the relevant no-go theorems (Weinberg–Witten, Coleman–Mandula/HLS, Haag, Bell/PBR/Kochen–Specker, Reeh–Schlieder, the singularity theorems, unitarity/causality bounds) — and against the wiki’s own closures (the dS cardinality no-go; HYP-CKV-VACUITY; the OP-48c conditional no-go). Do not re-derive what is already closed.
  4. A candidate framework that “explains everything and predicts nothing” fails by construction.
  5. Enrich pages in place. Stable IDs (OP-n, GC-n, Hn, A-n, named HYP-*) are permanent; new items take the next free ID. Log every change in the changelog. Cross-link.

A.2 — Where help is most valuable: the open levers

The analytical program is saturated; the verdict moves only on new input (see Conclusion §5 and the watchlist):

  • THE VERDICT-FLIPPERDerive the indefinite pairing (Krein η / a canonical (n,n) operator class) from (algebra, state) modular data — no symmetry, η-form, foliation, twist, indefinite-pairing axiom, or signature-valued template installed by hand. This is the compressed OP-46 target; any serious sketch reopens the capstone.
  • OP-44The order-GN² proof obligation (quadratic boost linearization-instability constraints) — the one named decidable analytical step.
  • OP-49 RESIDUALThe stated SVD-entropy hemisphere computation.
  • OP-50The closed-universe Hilbert-space dispute (is dim Hclosed = 1 per α-sector?) — theorems on any branch; watch the ARSSV / Hong Liu / Engelhardt–Gesteau counter-positions.
  • WATCHLISTNew bounds or results in any channel — DESI/Euclid w(z), GQuEST, CQ-gravity squeezes, collapse bounds, GW nulls, BMV progress — with citations.
  • LINTBroken links, stale numbers, tag inconsistencies, unverified references you can resolve to a DOI.

A.3 — Process & PR conventions

  1. Fork HKTITAN/universal-physics → branch → PR against main.
  2. PRs that add or change claims must include: epistemic tags, verified citations (no fabricated references — ever), the CHANGELOG entry, and (for new frameworks/hypotheses) the §4 referee self-report — no-gos checked, severity self-assessment.
  3. PRs are reviewed against the protocol above. Contributors are credited in CHANGELOG entries and git history.
