The Core Principle

The corpus’s title page describes it as three independently developed theoretical programs, unified by a single philosophical commitment: physical reality is not a brute, postulated given, but the outcome of a selection or closure criterion that excludes structurally pathological alternatives.

Concretely, that means: instead of writing down field equations and asking readers to accept them as fundamental, each program asks which structures — among all the ones that could be written down — are stable, in a precise sense particular to that program. Unstable, trivial, or divergent alternatives are excluded not by fiat but because they fail the stability criterion.

This shared commitment is implemented two different ways, not reconciled into one formalism: the world-selection functional Ξ (Books I and V), and the structural-stability criterion proper (Books II–IV). The books are presented side by side rather than forced together — where they overlap conceptually, the connection is noted, not manufactured.

This site keeps that same honesty forward: a stability argument is not automatically a proof, and this corpus does not treat it as one. Every claim here is labeled by what kind of claim it actually is — see the unification map.
