Physics Claim Status
This route explains what the current checked-in snapshots allow readers to say, what they do not allow, and which stronger physics claims remain blocked or gated.
The Æther Flow Project is a two-part research program about foundational physics and the governed, human-accountable AI research system used to organize and test that work. Its physics track asks whether ordinary general relativity can be interpreted, and eventually derived, from a deeper Æther or Æther-Flow foundation; exact GR remains the observable-scale benchmark, while the first-principles derivation is still open.
This Claim Status page turns a checked-in source snapshot, not a live upstream query, into four plain-language categories: what the record supports saying, what it does not support, what is blocked, and what remains open or protected by a human gate. These categories help readers see why a proposed mathematical object, a completed workflow step, or a passing software check may record progress without proving a physical theory or promoting a scientific claim. If the snapshot becomes stale, the page remains orientation only, so source records and human gates continue to govern stronger conclusions.
Static diagram
Read claim status as a controlled lifecycle.
The claim-gates diagram keeps allowed language, blocked overreads, frozen results, open burdens, and human-gated states separated from one another.
Claim status
Claimed, not claimed, blocked, and open states stay distinct.
The matrix summarizes the public reading contract. It deliberately places blocked claims beside status and progress language.
| State | Snapshot basis | Public boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Claimed within scope | The website may say a checked-in snapshot exists, exact-GR is the current observable-scale benchmark, and scoped source-extension/precondition evidence is recorded where the source snapshot says so. | This does not create source-law adoption, a completed derivation, benchmark promotion, or proof authority. |
| Not claimed | The current snapshot preserves no source-law adoption, no MetricData(E) adoption, no g_eff scope expansion, no matter-coupling derivation, no Einstein equations, and no completed derivation. | A website route, validator PASS, handoff, or generated graph cannot strengthen those negatives. |
| Blocked | The blocked-claim list includes probability law sample stationary law or phase as a canonical deterministic point, effective GR dynamics as substrate selector dynamics, structural equivariance as physical gauge, ontology measure dynamics or source-law adoption, general EqSrc or downstream GR discharge, scientific-ledger change, P3-T05 as already executed, benchmark promotion Gate Chair verdict publication completed derivation or global no-go. | Blocked items stay blocked until upstream source authority and required gates record a narrower result. |
| Open / gated | Matter-coupling adoption, Einstein-equation recovery, benchmark promotion, and Gate Chair closure remain protected downstream states. | The page can identify the gate. It cannot issue the gate decision. |
Boundary records
Allowed language remains narrower than gate-required language.
The checked-in claim-boundary snapshot exposes allowed explanation, forbidden overread, and gate-required changes as separate columns.
| Record | Allowed summary | Forbidden summary | Gate required |
|---|---|---|---|
| Current task boundary | v18 P11-T05 recommendation coverage audit completed; V18-R01 through V18-R10 have final covered status; no project-improvement bridge is required from P11-T05 | coverage audit as physics proof; coverage count as Distance-to-GR promotion; v18 plan completion as completed derivation; general EqSrc discharge | canonical ontology edit protected adoption benchmark closure external outreach ledger status change source-law adoption matter-coupling derivation Einstein-equation derivation or completed-derivation authority |
| Latest handoff boundary | optional local validation invocation tracing; canonical gate ID recording; scope and tree hash recording | trace absence as PASS evidence; trace output as authority; validator output retention; deduplication activation | P1-T04 PASS; P1-T05 activation; P2 orchestration authority; canonical ontology edit |
Language examples
Copy must remain bounded to the evidence class.
These examples come from the claim-boundary snapshot. They are useful because they show how quickly control evidence can be overread.
| Example class | Title | Body |
|---|---|---|
| Allowed explanation | Describe the bounded action | v18 P11-T05 recommendation coverage audit completed |
| Forbidden promotion | Do not strengthen it into adoption | coverage audit as physics proof; coverage count as Distance-to-GR promotion; v18 plan completion as completed derivation; general EqSrc discharge |
| Gate required | Protected changes remain gated | canonical ontology edit protected adoption benchmark closure external outreach ledger status change source-law adoption matter-coupling derivation Einstein-equation derivation or completed-derivation authority |
Freshness and source basis
Readers can see what snapshot this page reflects.
The route displays freshness and source-basis metadata so dated snapshot behavior is visible rather than implied.
| Field | Value | How to read it |
|---|---|---|
| Snapshot refresh date | 2026-07-21 | checked-in snapshot freshness is visible |
| Source commit | c6aa66b9a741... | The commit is source-basis metadata for this checked-in snapshot, not live source authority. |
| Latest handoff | handoff-0795 | The handoff id identifies source-side control context. It is not permanent website truth. |
| Current status | v21_p3_t04_finite_probability_dynamics_theorems_and_scoped_obstruction_completed_p3_t05_selected_no_adoption_or_distance_delta | Operational state must be read beside the blocked claims and gate requirements. |
Source basis
The page organizes evidence without becoming evidence.
Source rows constrain the page. They do not transfer scientific authority to the website route.
| Source area | Used here for | Authority boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Claim-boundary registry snapshot | Allowed, forbidden, and gate-required language examples. | Registry orientation constrains public copy; it does not certify a physics result. |
| Current physics state snapshot | Blocked-claim list, latest source-state metadata, and downstream burden context. | The JSON file is checked-in website data and does not refresh during normal builds. |
| Distance-to-GR ledger | Status vocabulary for open, blocked, accepted-with-scope, and human-gated rows. | Ledger status is not a progress percentage or proof of downstream recovery. |
