Reader rule
A ladder is not a progress meter
The route separates objects and obligations. It does not calculate a percentage, issue a verdict, or promote downstream GR claims.
Physics deep dive / PG-009
Metric Response Ladder
The metric-response ladder names separate source-side objects and downstream obligations: Resp_lc, M_src, MetricData(E), scoped g_eff, matter coupling, Einstein equations, and benchmark promotion. The central rule is conservative: a row can be accepted under scoped source authority while later GR claims remain blocked.
Reading rule
Each object has its own burden and authority boundary.
The ladder matters because the object names are close enough to sound like progress through a proof. They are not interchangeable. The safe reading preserves scope, gate status, and blocked downstream promotion.
Scope rule
Scoped source-extension status stays scoped
Accepted row status for a source-side object does not become MetricData(E), universal matter coupling, Einstein equations, or benchmark promotion.
Gate rule
Accepted evidence is not adopted coupling
The recovery bridge is accepted only as scoped source-extension evidence/precondition. No coupling law, matter-coupling derivation, or matter-coupling adoption is established here.
Boundary rule
Hard phrases remain explicit
The page preserves no MetricData(E) adoption, no g_eff scope change, no matter-coupling derivation, and no downstream GR promotion.
Snapshot metadata
What source state this route reflects.
This page imports committed website snapshots generated from upstream source at commit c7369577a7e5f96c3f4c4c6c6982e723cd3cc751. It does not read the source repository during normal Astro builds.
Plain glossary
Read the object names before the technical layer.
These terms are useful only if their boundaries remain visible. The page therefore starts with the ordinary-language status of each object.
01
Resp_lc
A response-localization lane. In the checked-in snapshot it has accepted source-extension continuation data, but it is not a metric or matter-coupling result.
02
M_src
A scoped source-side manifold object. The current row is accepted under source-only scope, not as a completed GR derivation.
03
MetricData(E)
A stronger metric-data object that would require separate source adoption. Current state preserves no MetricData(E) adoption.
04
scoped g_eff
A source-extension effective-metric object under declared source-side scope. Current state preserves no g_eff scope change.
05
matter coupling
A universal same-metric matter behavior burden. Current state preserves no coupling-law adoption and no matter-coupling derivation.
Public comprehension diagram
The diagram is a reader aid, not source authority.
The static diagram shows separate ladder objects and blocked overreads. It is not a proof, Gate Chair verdict, or downstream GR promotion.
Specialist ladder
Object status stays narrower than derivation status.
The cards below name the current row status, evidence path, and blocked promotions. They are intentionally explicit because shorthand is the main failure mode for this topic.
Accepted row
Resp_lc
Xi_X^R adopted only as admissible source-extension data for Resp_lc continuation through S_X^+; old S_X selector obstruction remains valid and downstream M_src g_eff matter coupling Einstein equations benchmark and completed-derivation claims remain blocked
- Burden: resp_lc
- Status: accepted
- Evidence: research_control/tasks/RT-20260614-060/artifacts/101_RESP_LC_SOURCE_EXTENSION_HUMAN_GATE_ADOPTION_DECISION.tex
Accepted row
M_src
Updated by RT-20260614-134 Phase 9 Gate Chair review to record scoped M_src adoption while g_eff matter coupling Einstein equations benchmark promotion and completed derivation remain blocked
- Burden: m_src
- Status: accepted
- Evidence: research_control/tasks/RT-20260614-134/artifacts/165_M_SRC_GSC_INTEGRATED_SOURCE_ONLY_ADOPTION_THEOREM_GATE_CHAIR_REVIEW.tex
Not adopted
MetricData(E)
The current boundary summary and matter-coupling row preserve no MetricData(E) adoption. The website cannot promote this object from explanatory prose.
- Status phrase: no MetricData(E) adoption
- Evidence: handoff-0321
- Boundary: stronger metric data remains a separate obligation.
Scoped row
scoped g_eff
The checked-in row records accepted scoped source-extension g_eff status. The page therefore treats g_eff as source-side scoped status, not unqualified physical metric derivation.
- Burden: g_eff
- Status: accepted
- Boundary phrase: no g_eff scope change
Scoped evidence
matter coupling
Gate Chair accepted ParamFiniteLocalWitness_v1(E) BridgeSlot_n(E) and NoTargetImport_n only as scoped source-extension parameterized-witness evidence/precondition while no source-law adoption no coupling-law adoption no matter-coupling derivation no stress-energy semantics no stress-energy tensor no matter action no detector semantics no MetricData(E) adoption no g_eff scope change no Einstein equations no benchmark promotion and no completed derivation occurred.
- Burden: matter_coupling
- Status: accepted
- Boundary phrases: no coupling-law adoption; no matter-coupling derivation
Downstream
Einstein equations
no Einstein-equation derivation supplied
- Burden: einstein_equations
- Status: not started
- Boundary phrase: no Einstein equations
Blocked
benchmark promotion
benchmark promotion remains blocked
- Burden: benchmark_promotion
- Status: blocked by missing primitive
- Boundary phrases: no benchmark promotion; no completed derivation
Hard boundaries
What the ladder does not authorize.
Current state preserves no MetricData(E) adoption, no g_eff scope change, no coupling-law adoption, no matter-coupling derivation, no stress-energy semantics, no Einstein equations, no benchmark promotion, no downstream GR promotion, and no completed derivation.
Metric data
no MetricData(E) adoption
The current state does not adopt the stronger metric-data object. Public copy must not imply it has crossed a source-authority gate.
Effective metric
no g_eff scope change
The page may describe scoped g_eff source-extension status, but it must not expand that into unqualified physical metric derivation.
Matter
no coupling-law adoption
The recovery-bridge candidate is accepted only as scoped source-extension evidence/precondition, not as an adopted matter-coupling law.
Matter
no matter-coupling derivation
Universal same-metric matter behavior remains a protected downstream burden.
Semantics
no stress-energy semantics
The source-side bridge does not import stress-energy semantics by public explanation or diagram.
Downstream GR
no Einstein equations
The equation burden remains downstream and is not supplied by the current ladder state.
Promotion
no benchmark promotion
Exact-GR benchmark promotion remains blocked by missing upstream burdens and protected authority.
Closure
no completed derivation
The ladder is a status explanation, not a claim that GR has been derived from AEther-flow.
Specialist source layer
The source records name the active gate and blocked promotions.
Technical readers should compare ledger rows, current-state summary, and claim-boundary records before interpreting any object name as a completed derivation step.
Ledger
Distance-to-GR rows
The route imports checked-in row status from the Distance-to-GR snapshot rather than reading live upstream state during build.
Boundary registry
Forbidden overreads
The claim-boundary snapshot contains source-pinned language patterns for blocked and gate-required wording.
Current state
Active handoff frame
P8-T02 ran the required final validation suite and prepared the checkpoint transaction for v11 recommendations 1 through 7. No physics claims were promoted.
Gate discipline
Future human review only
Run one bounded P8-T03 final continuation handoff packet for local research agents.
Safe and unsafe readings
The permitted summary is narrower than the tempting one.
This topic is high-risk because the notation can make an upstream row sound like downstream GR promotion. The explicit contrast prevents that overread.
Safe summary
Scoped object status does not promote downstream claims.
The metric-response ladder names current source-side object status while preserving no MetricData(E) adoption, no g_eff scope change, no matter-coupling derivation, no Einstein equations, no benchmark promotion, and no completed derivation.
Unsafe summary
Object names must not be read as completed GR derivation.
It would be unsafe to infer that Resp_lc, M_src, or scoped g_eff status unlocks MetricData(E), matter coupling, Einstein equations, benchmark promotion, or completed GR derivation.
Reader path
Use adjacent pages before treating the ladder as decisive.
Primary reading stays inside the website. Provenance links remain available in source-authority sections for direct inspection.
