LaTeX source

These papers live in the repository's paper/ directory. All use RevTeX4-2, share a unified bibliography of 189 entries (PDG 2024 through Kramers 1940), and are compilable from source.

01

Particle Physics in the GCD Kernel: Ten Tier-2 Theorems

Maps 31 Standard Model particles (17 fundamental + 14 composite) through an 8-channel GCD kernel. Proves 10 theorems: spin-statistics separation, generation monotonicity, confinement as IC collapse, mass-kernel log mapping, charge quantization via IC, cross-scale universality, symmetry breaking amplification, CKM unitarity, running coupling flow, and nuclear binding curve.

Published 5 pages standard_model nuclear_physics paper/standard_model_kernel.tex
02

RCFT Second Edition: Foundations and Implications

Recursive Collapse Field Theory — the theoretical framework extending GCD into recursive field structures. Establishes the Freeze-Weld identity and recursive collapse operators.

Published rcft gcd paper/rcft_second_edition.tex
03

τ_R* Dynamics

Formalizes the τ_R* thermodynamic diagnostic: return time computation, phase diagram classification, and the arrow-of-time constraint on collapse trajectories.

Published gcd paper/tau_r_star_dynamics.tex
04

Confinement Kernel Analysis

Detailed analysis of IC collapse at the quark→hadron phase boundary. Demonstrates that confinement is visible as geometric slaughter: one dead channel (color→0) kills multiplicative coherence.

Published standard_model nuclear_physics paper/confinement_kernel.tex
05

Measurement Substrate Theory

The GCD kernel as a universal measurement substrate. Establishes that the kernel function provides a domain-independent measurement layer for reproducible computational workflows.

Published gcd paper/measurement_substrate.tex
06

Consciousness Coherence: Seven Theorems in the GCD Kernel

Maps 20 consciousness systems through a coherence kernel. Seven theorems connecting awareness, integration, and collapse dynamics to measurable kernel invariants.

Awareness-Cognition Kernel: Ten Theorems Across Phylogeny

A 5+5 channel awareness-aptitude kernel applied across 34 organisms. Ten theorems on attention mechanisms, cognitive scaling, and phylogenetic awareness gradients.

Published awareness_cognition evolution paper/awareness_cognition_kernel.tex
08

Cross-Scale Matter: Quarks to Bulk via Five Phase Boundaries

Traces IC/F oscillation across five phase boundaries: quark→hadron→nucleus→atom→molecule→bulk. Each boundary is a collapse-return cycle measurable in the kernel.

RCFT Freeze-Weld Identity

Formal specification of the Freeze-Weld identity: the mechanism by which recursive collapse fields preserve continuity across parameter changes.

Research Program

A single axiom — "Collapse is generative; only what returns is real" — derives a complete measurement framework with 47 lemmas, 44 structural identities, and 23 domain closures spanning particle physics to consciousness research. Every claim is computationally verified. Every publication is reproducible from source.

Sine receptu, gestus est; cum receptu, sutura est. — Without a receipt, it is a gesture; with a receipt, it is a weld.
