| Core action convention# | Locked | $\displaystyle S\supset-\frac{\tilde\alpha}{2}R(\Box+\beta_{\rm rate}^2)^{-1}_{\rm ret}R,$ $\displaystyle \eta_{\rm act}=-\tilde\alpha\in(0,1)$ | The fixed-background closure uses the distinct amplitude eta_cl. |
| GR limits# | Locked | $\displaystyle \tilde\alpha\to0\;(\eta_{\rm act}\to0)\;{\rm or}\;\beta_{\rm rate}\to\infty;$ $\displaystyle \eta_{\rm cl}\to0\;{\rm or}\;\beta_{\rm IR}\to0$ | Do not state beta_IR -> infinity as the perturbation-sector GR limit. |
| Local screening sign# | Locked | $\displaystyle \Gamma_{\rm eff}\to\infty\Rightarrow\beta_\mu\to0\Rightarrow\mu\to1$ | Dense environments reduce the local Poisson inverse-length scale in the screening ansatz. |
| DESI compressed benchmark# | Numerically supported | $\displaystyle A_g=0.9962\pm0.0437,$ $\displaystyle \Delta\chi^2=-0.0075,$ $\displaystyle \Delta{\rm AIC}=+1.99,$ $\displaystyle \Delta{\rm BIC}=+1.78$ | Allowed, near-GR, not preferred over LambdaCDM. |
| DESI degeneracy# | Locked | $\displaystyle A_g=1-\eta_{\rm cl}S_{\rm DESI}(\beta_{\rm IR})$ | This is a degeneracy product, not a unique measurement of eta_cl or beta_IR. |
| Full-shape nuisance profiling# | Numerically supported | $\displaystyle \begin{array}{c|c}\beta_{\rm ratio}&\eta_{{\rm cl},95}^{\rm FS}\\100&0.2544\\300&0.0680\\1000&0.0316\\3000&0.0212\\10^4&0.0153\end{array}$ | At beta_ratio=30 the physical interval 0<=eta_cl<=1 is unconstrained. The profile reference is chi2_GR,prof=339.560305 and the maximum shallow improvement is 0.0501. |
| DESI DR2 BAO background interface# | Benchmark | $\displaystyle \eta_{\rm act}=0.1,$ $\displaystyle \beta_{\rm rate}/H_0=10^5,$ $\displaystyle \Delta\chi^2_{\rm BAO}=-5.415287$ | Fixed-standard-parameter sparse-grid interface test; do not combine it with the DR1 eta_cl limits. |
| S8 boundary# | Open | $\displaystyle A_g\simeq1\Rightarrow{\rm no\ linear\ }S_8{\rm\ solution\ in\ the\ locked\ closure}$ | Any substantial suppression requires nonlinear PM/N-body validation. |
| C2 action-level scalar closure# | Conditional | $\displaystyle \gamma_{\rm action}^{\rm QS}=\frac{\bar F+2\eta_{\rm act}s}{\bar F+4\eta_{\rm act}s}\neq1$ | General-gauge SymPy route and radiation cross-check passed. Direct integration replaces the rejected averaged-fluid route; start-time insensitivity fails and the Lambda branch is non-unique. Prototype provider passed, production pending; independent tensor-tool confirmation and every likelihood-facing gate remain open. Do not combine (eta_act,beta_rate) with CMG VII (eta_cl,beta_IR). |
| SEM--RAR boundary# | Numerically supported | $\displaystyle g_{\rm obs}=g_b/(1-e^{-\sqrt{g_b/g_\dagger}})$ | Equivalent to exponential RAR; not a completed dark-matter replacement for clusters/CMB/nonlinear structure. |
| C4 reduced dynamic bridge# | Benchmark | $\displaystyle g_\dagger\simeq\frac{\xi_\infty}{e-1}c\,\beta_{\rm rate},$ $\displaystyle \xi_\infty\simeq0.297,$ $\displaystyle \beta_{\rm rate}\simeq H_0$ | Reduced dynamic benchmark, not a microscopic g_dagger derivation: xi_infty is not xi_phys, and the elastic diagnostic reaches only 0.64--0.72 of (2 pi)^2 at N=8192 with a persistent knn/annulus topology offset. |
| C3 screening precursor# | Benchmark | $\displaystyle \beta_\mu(r)\Rightarrow\mu_{\rm eff}(r)$ (1D NFW, Yukawa BVP) | Validates the spherical screened force solver and the sign of the response; microscopic calibration and PM/N-body embedding remain open. |
| Cluster/web residual pilot# | Open | $\displaystyle N_{\rm clean+web}=4<8$ | Below the minimum cluster-count gate; no b_C is estimated and no physical interpretation is allowed. |
| Maxwell sector# | Mixed | $\displaystyle B_1B_2=0,$ $\displaystyle c_\gamma=0.7380\;{\rm(static\ proxy)}$ | Incidence/Hodge structure is supported on the recovered post-hoc face complex. The static coefficient has no physically identified c_DPN denominator; a native edge carrier/provider, alpha_em calibration and a two-species common cone remain open. |
| C5 photon-speed identifiability# | Open | $\displaystyle c_\gamma/c_{\rm DPN}\;{\rm not\ identifiable\ from\ the\ static\ export}$ | The static ratio remains unidentifiable. The D2 reference-family execution returned D2_CONTRACT_FAILED; the temporal-depth audit returned FINITE_TIME_TRANSIENT_SUPPORTED as a diagnostic only. Raw-export dispersion, a physical DPN provider and a common-cone test remain open. |
| Chirality sector# | Conditional | $\displaystyle P_L=(1-\gamma^5)/2,$ $\displaystyle P_R=(1+\gamma^5)/2$ | Conditional theorem plus exact ladder-ring realization; generic irregular DPN proof open. |
| FRG sector# | Open | $\displaystyle \theta_{b^2}=4,$ $\displaystyle \theta_{\alpha}=-2$ | The displayed exponents are a historical superseded-sign benchmark. The corrected positive-mass flow, fixed point and stability matrix remain open. |
| Yang--Mills control boundary# | Benchmark | $\displaystyle \lambda_2(L_{\rm el})\neq\Delta_{\rm transfer}\neq m_{\rm corr}\neq\Delta_{\rm YM}$ | Regular-lattice and conditional-provider controls do not establish a physical DPN derivation, confinement or a continuum Yang--Mills gap. |
| CMG XIII conditional provider and birth selector# | Conditional | $\displaystyle w(s)=C\exp(-\beta_{\rm sel}s),$ $\displaystyle {\rm ledger}\ 7/8$ | Conditional constructions with bounded negative results: the historical generator derives no gauge provider, scale admission was not achieved, the effective-coefficient law (row 5) is open and a fixed three-volume is not a clock. The frozen corpus was closed on 16 September 2026 (OD0); no confinement, continuum Yang--Mills gap or Clay result is claimed. |
