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.

Current foundationsPaper overview and reading guideManuscript PDF available

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

R00 is the guide to the suite. It answers a reader’s first questions: in what order to read the papers, how the three PDT layers divide the work, and which additional premises enter when a physical model is built.

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.

Explanation

How to use the suite

Read R01 to R03 for the structural core: comparisons, phase, retained history and last-survivor selection. R04 to R06 examine quantum probability, exclusion instruments and composite systems. R07 to R11 construct spatial, clock, matter, gravitational and cosmological models under stated premises. R12 asks what a common physical model requires, and R13 records the audit trail.
Reading order is expository. It is not a claim that every premise used in a later paper is derived in the one before it. For example, operational composition assumptions discussed in R06 can be inputs to the quantum package examined in R04.

Physical interpretation and scope

What connects this to physics

R00 makes no physical claim of its own. Its role is to keep publication availability, mathematical scope, journal review and experimental evidence visible as separate facts.
