GR Derivation Roadmap

The roadmap explains the open first-principles derivation burden: source-side AEther / AEther-flow structure would have to recover observer structure, effective Lorentzian metric behavior, matter coupling, field equations, and benchmark promotion without importing the target GR package by hand.

Visual orientation only: this diagram names the burden ladder but does not discharge a milestone or promote a benchmark.

Open derivation burden

The roadmap names obligations; it does not prove they are solved.

The inspected source materials treat the derivation as an ordered burden chain. Each row needs its own source evidence, audit status, and claim boundary before downstream conclusions can be used.

Ontology

Source primitives

The roadmap begins with source-side substrate data and ontology rules. This is the conceptual starting point, not a completed GR derivation.

Localization

Observer and response burdens

The roadmap separates observer localization from response localization so each witness, obstruction, or source-extension decision can be audited on its own terms.

Manifold

Scoped source-only M_src status

The current ledger records scoped source-only M_src adoption. That does not construct g_eff, matter coupling, equations, or benchmark promotion.

Metric

Effective metric milestone

The inspected sources support naming effective Lorentzian metric generation as a milestone. The current g_eff row remains blocked before a separate metric-construction packet.

Downstream blocks

Metric, matter, equations, and promotion remain separate burdens.

The roadmap is useful precisely because it prevents one controlled packet, validator pass, or ledger row from being treated as the whole derivation.

g_eff

Metric law not supplied here

The roadmap can identify the source-to-metric burden, but this page does not derive an effective metric or adopt MetricData as a physics result.

Matter coupling

Universal coupling remains open

Same-metric matter coupling remains a downstream burden. A reader-facing route cannot infer it from ontology, validators, or roadmap rows.

Equations

Field equations remain open

Einstein-equation recovery requires a source-side dynamics, action, or variation theorem. No such theorem is created by this page.

Promotion

Benchmark promotion is gated

Benchmark promotion remains blocked until upstream burdens are discharged and the required human gate is explicitly satisfied.

Reader path

Use this as a navigation aid, not an evidentiary shortcut.

To evaluate any roadmap row, inspect the upstream source artifact, Distance-to-GR ledger row, claim-boundary record, and any required human-gated decision.

Source authority

What this page can and cannot establish.

This website page can explain the roadmap. It cannot update project physics status, discharge a milestone, construct g_eff, derive matter coupling, derive Einstein equations, promote a benchmark, issue a Gate Chair verdict, or supersede tracked source files.
