Known Criticisms

16 flagship criticisms have full write-ups below — original argument, response, evidence, and status. These are the highest-severity items from a complete manuscript audit that logged 80 proof gaps in total; the remaining items (narrower or duplicative of these) are in the audit’s own PROOF_GAP_LOG.md and the 423-row claim ledger.

1. openmathematical·Pre-Physical Selection & Emergent Reality
   Existence of W* is unproven
2. openmathematical·Pre-Physical Selection & Emergent Reality
   Ontological actualization is a silent, additional postulate
3. openmathematical·Gravity as a Temporally Closed Dynamical Phase
   "Theorem S.1" (Emergent Relativity) has no proof text
4. resolvedmathematical·Born Rule from Stability & Measure Geometry
   False tensor-product-composition mechanism for p=2 (resolved)
5. openmathematical·Born Rule from Stability & Measure Geometry
   "Does not presuppose non-contextuality" is false
6. resolvedmathematical·Unified Principle: Quantum Gravity & Structural Stability
   Gleason dim≥3 hypothesis omitted (resolved)
7. openmathematical·Unified Principle: Quantum Gravity & Structural Stability
   The qubit case (dim ℋ = 2) is never addressed
8. openmathematical·Unified Principle: Quantum Gravity & Structural Stability
   M(r) ~ r³ "uniqueness" claim is an overstatement
9. openmathematical·Unified Principle: Quantum Gravity & Structural Stability
   No mathematical bridge between the quantum-side and gravity-side stability criteria
10. openphysical·Pre-Physical Selection & Emergent Reality
    Quantum-to-classical limit lacks the spatial coupling needed for diffusion

12. openexperimental·Pre-Physical Selection & Emergent Reality
    SPARC galaxy rotation-curve data is absent
13. openexperimental·Pre-Physical Selection & Emergent Reality
    Ringdown check validates a pipeline, not a real detection
