R00 · Suite guide
Foundational suite and review guide
The guide to the suite, its reading order, the three PDT layers and the additional premises used in physical models.
This page is a reading guide written for the website. It is not the manuscript and does not reproduce its proofs. The manuscript PDF is linked below; authors, version and release date will be shown once verified. “Current foundations” does not by itself mean peer reviewed or experimentally confirmed.
Purpose
What the guide is for
Mathematical starting point
Where the suite begins
- No mathematical results are assumed. R00 introduces the vocabulary used across the suite: structural foundations, physical models and realised physical history.
- It identifies A6 as the additional realisation commitment, stated in R01.
Main results
What the guide sets out
- Sets the reading order R01 to R13.
- Separates structural results, physical modelling premises and the requirement of a common realised history.
- Records that a conditional theorem holds whenever its stated assumptions hold, without showing that those assumptions describe nature.
