Structural Selection

Interactive Lab

The theory, handed to you as running code

A real Python suite (NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, pandas, Matplotlib) checks the corpus’s own load-bearing quantitative claims by running them as live simulation and comparing against what the books state, with an explicit tolerance on every check — 16 of 17 pass. Every page below states plainly what its simulation does and does not establish.

Regular Black Hole

PASS

The regular metric's mass function keeps curvature invariants finite at r=0 for the tested core-scale parameter, with radial geodesics reaching the core in finite proper time — matching the metric as specified.

Kretschmann Scalar

PASS

The Kretschmann curvature invariant stays finite as r→0 for the regular metric, in contrast to Schwarzschild's r⁻⁶ divergence — confirmed both symbolically (from-scratch Riemann tensor derivation) and numerically.

Geodesic Completeness

PASS

Radial geodesics reach the core (r=0) in finite proper time without encountering a curvature singularity — checked by direct numerical integration of the geodesic equation.

ISCO Shift Scaling

PASS

The innermost stable circular orbit's shift from the Schwarzschild value scales cubically with the core parameter g, matching the predicted exponent (fitted: 3.00024).

Black-Hole Shadow

PASS

Current EHT shadow-diameter measurement precision (~10–17%) implies an upper bound on the core parameter, g ≲ 0.5 GM, given the ray-traced shadow-radius scaling.

Born Rule Convergence

PASS

Empirical outcome frequencies concentrate on the squared-norm (Born) weights as the number of trials N grows, with exponentially suppressed probability of atypical deviation — a large-N typicality argument, verified numerically.

Ξ World-Selection

PASS

In an illustrative toy dynamical system, Ξ-maximization favors a structured, generative, stable trajectory over trivial/frozen, chaotic, or divergent alternatives — the qualitative selection behavior the text describes.

Orbit Emergence

PASS

A damped, inertial two-body reaction–diffusion field system exhibits persistent bound orbital motion rather than monotonic collapse — the actual field PDE from Ch. 7, simulated directly.

Closure History (Gravity On/Off)

PASS

The same initial condition, run at two different damping values γ, ends in opposite fates — a persistent orbit above the closure threshold ("gravity: on") versus decaying below it ("gravity: off") — demonstrating history-dependence, not just instantaneous state.

Emergent Causality

PASS

A localized perturbation produces a detectable response at increasing distance only after a time proportional to that distance — i.e. a finite, horizon-robust maximum signal speed emerges from dissipation and coherence loss, using the manuscript's own operational definition (not a claimed closed-form formula).

Magnetic Memory

PASS

After an ultrafast quench sets the current J≈0, the magnetic field B does not vanish instantaneously — it persists and decays on a finite, kernel-governed memory timescale, matching the fitted decay constant to the kernel's own τ.
