The Cosmochrony Research Programme — Roadmap and Paper Inventory

This repository contains the source of the programme synthesis paper The Cosmochrony Research Programme: A Structural Roadmap and Paper Inventory.

It is the central registry of the whole Cosmochrony corpus: it inventories every paper, documents the dependency graph between them, and tracks their status. It is the reference to consult first to understand how the pieces fit together.

What This Paper Is

The Cosmochrony programme develops a pre-geometric framework in which physical structure — spacetime, quantum mechanics, gauge symmetry, and Standard Model observables — arises from a single primitive: the local structure of admissible non-injective transitions between observable states. The corpus comprises 109 papers across three theory branches:

• Branch I — Foundation track: four axioms suffice to derive the Heisenberg group $\mathrm{Heis}_3(\mathbb{Z}/q)$ and its Weil representation as theorems, with no background substrate or relaxation mechanism.
• Branch II — O-series (spectral admissibility): derives and numerically validates the transfer chain $c_{\mathrm{BI}} \to \delta_{\mathrm{pair}} \to \beta^* \approx 0.126$ connecting the Born–Infeld saturation constant to the charged-lepton mass hierarchy.
• Branch III — Q-series and companion papers: derives quantum mechanics, spacetime geometry, gauge structure, and further observables from the Branch I axioms and Branch II spectral data.

Role in the Repository

• Paper inventory: the authoritative list of all papers and their status.
• Dependency graph: maintained here and exported as an interactive HTML visualisation, which is copied to the website for publication at https://cosmochrony.org.
• Coherence: updated whenever a new result is obtained or a new paper is created, so the programme stays traceable.
• Video workflow: VIDEO-WORKFLOW.md is the source of truth for scientific video production and publication; videos.json is the canonical video inventory.
