R-Series: Reference and Classification
The R-series provides reference frameworks, classifications, and synthesis documents derived from empirical and formal results.
These papers organize and classify research findings into coherent reference frameworks for ongoing and future work. They help navigate the theory and understand relationships between papers.
What the R-Series Establishes
The R-series provides:
- Capability-based classification frameworks
- Named axiom bundles for substrate capabilities
- Synthesis documents explaining cross-cutting themes
- Reference specifications for predictions and testing
- Navigation aids for understanding paper relationships
Papers
R-CCC — Continuum Capability Classification
Capability-based classification framework
Establishes a capability-based classification framework for understanding what different substrate configurations can support. Provides a systematic way to classify continuum behaviors.
Status: Draft
R-DCC — Derived Capability Classes
Named axiom bundles for assumptions
Defines named axiom bundles (Derived Capability Classes) that capture common substrate capability patterns. Makes it easier to reference collections of axioms that frequently appear together.
For example, DCC-QM defines the capability envelope required for quantum mechanical structure to emerge.
Status: Draft
R-W — Tolerance as a Structural Primitive
Role of W across phenomena
Synthesizes the role of tolerance window W across different phenomena. Shows how W acts as a structural primitive that connects substrate mechanics to emergent physics.
Status: Draft
R-PRED-DM1 — Prediction Interface for P-DM1
Reference specification for testing
Provides the reference specification for testing the P-DM1 dark matter prediction. Defines exactly what needs to be measured and how to compare with observations.
Status: Draft
Who Should Read This Series?
This series is for you if:
- You want to understand how different papers relate to each other
- You need reference frameworks for navigating the theory
- You want to understand substrate capability classifications
- You are preparing to test predictions and need reference specifications
This series is not:
- Introducing new mechanisms (see M-series for that)
- Making predictions (see P-series for that)
- Providing foundations (see F-series and A-series for that)
