# Adopted program: work packages and acquisition routes The program remains physically incomplete. Component completion is scoped to the deliverable below; original task and project criteria are retained. `full research-status` regenerates the machine-readable status from hashed evidence. | Package | Deliverable | Status | |---|---|---| | P1.1 | Independent baseline numerical functions, shooting and matrix agreement | complete within stated component scope | | P1.2 | Printed rounding, independent complex kernels and counterterm diagnostic | complete within stated component scope | | P1.3 | Explained source baseline agreement and matched response | blocked missing physical or empirical input | | P2.1 | Charged boundaries, archive inventory and correlated matrix intake | complete within stated component scope | | P2.2 | Direct matched alpha-alpha reproduction including Be-8 discrepancy | blocked missing physical or empirical input | | P2.3 | Active selection and reserved near-threshold/direct uncertainty calibration | blocked unfinished work packages | | P3.1 | Temporal rank and null/injection/misspecification controls | complete within stated component scope | | P3.2 | Raw ratios, duplicate effects, covariance scenarios and nonlinear non-identifiability | complete within stated component scope | | P3.3 | Empirical closure, covariance and exchange likelihood | blocked missing physical or empirical input | | P3.4 | Calibrated exclusion/sensitivity map with identified blind directions | blocked unfinished work packages | | P4.1 | Energy gate for the specified QCD background family | complete within stated component scope | | P4.2 | Common thermodynamic source/pressure functional and finite-size onset | complete within stated component scope | | P4.3 | Interacting matter, field/fluid/gravity stationary solutions and modes | blocked missing physical or empirical input | | P4.4 | Quantum corrections, formation, persistence/reversal and observations at one point | blocked unfinished work packages | | P5.1 | Small matched stellar comparison with rates, EOS, opacity and weak inputs | blocked unfinished work packages | | P5.2 | Explicit ejection/remnant model and time-dependent multi-element release | blocked unfinished work packages | | P5.3 | Transport, mixing and nuisance-resistant pattern with reserved predictions | blocked unfinished work packages | | P5.4 | Resolved fragmentation only after an enrichment signal survives uncertainties | blocked unfinished work packages | | P5.5 | Domain populations and conditional detection from that same physical history | blocked unfinished work packages | | P6.1 | Frozen runs, raw arrays, reproducible figures, claim and manuscript synchronization | complete within stated component scope | ## Required physical and empirical inputs ### I-E02: Exact capture baseline and matched field derivatives Independent kernels and drawing precision; a three-energy E1 calibration predicts seven reserved curve points within 0.53%. Exact source inputs and field-dependent contacts remain unmeasured. Needed: Versioned baseline input table or executable with units, cutoff and channel content; independent baseline error budget; response map from the selected field action. Acquisition route: Source archive acquired; use the prepared unsent request for exact amplitudes, counterterm, masses/normalization and threshold/contact derivatives. [Primary source](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.11180v2). ### I-E15: Dimensionally complete OBE regulator and ordinary baseline The journal version retains the printed regulator ambiguity. Explicit dimensionless counterterms now calibrate ordinary binding across two sets and three cutoffs; reserved scattering and independent theta-contact responses are calculated. This is a new calibrated convention, not recovery of the original. The reserved singlet is incorrectly bound, so triplet calibration does not reproduce the full ordinary baseline. Needed: Physical-unit potential or executable recovering both published sets, singlet asymptotics and the exact regulator's theta dependence. Acquisition route: Source archive acquired; unsent request for regulator definition, baseline potential table, kinetic operator and theta matching. [Primary source](https://arxiv.org/abs/2006.12321v1). ### I-E18: Paired alpha-alpha matrices and action matching Paired lattice matrices remain unavailable. A separate Coulomb-resummed halo EFT is now calibrated to the empirical Be-8 pole and width, with threshold/contact-response scans and disjoint direct interpolation checks. Needed: Hamiltonian/norm resamples, asymptotic controls, dispersion, threshold/offset samples, lattice/basis maps and matched physical derivatives. Acquisition route: Both source archives and displayed listings in the underlying wavefunction-matching paper's public data directory inspected. Continuum demonstration code, six three-body coefficients and the data README acquired; production code is available by author request subject to the source's stated conditions. Request paired inputs or exact generation setup using alpha-alpha-input-contract.json. [Primary source](https://arxiv.org/abs/2112.09409v2) · [Additional source](https://arxiv.org/html/2606.28987v1) · [Underlying method source](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-024-07422-z). ### I-E20: Isotope covariance, independent closure and exchange records Joint Re/Os, W and affected Pb/Pb likelihood; covariance/exchange scenarios, null/injected recovery, alternative W/Pt chronology and three separate direct Re half-life calibrations. Calibration-dependent displacement is not a changing-constants detection. Needed: Per-analysis covariance, shared standards, sample IDs, independent thermal/closure likelihood and reservoir/exchange chronology; reactor likelihood if using Oklo. Acquisition route: Published ratios, duplicate labels, IAB Hf-W chronology and W/Pt alternative acquired. The university-hosted dissertation supplies Appendix A2 sample/duplicate context; no per-analysis Re/Os covariance matrix was identified there. Galeazzi and Arnaboldi direct half-life sources are acquired and tested separately. Laboratory covariance and exchange records remain requested inputs. [Primary source](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6457471/) · [Chronology source](https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6352993/). ### I-MATTER: Interacting, field-dependent matter energy and composition A saturation-calibrated interacting functional now includes beta-equilibrated neutrons, protons, electrons and muons. Local canonical profiles, weak gravity, coupled radial curvature, outer-box tests, unsupported relaxation and conservative formation controls are executed. The theta-dependent interaction is a scenario, not a matched nuclear Hamiltonian. Needed: One energy/free-energy table furnishing pressure, chemical potentials, scalar source and composition consistently, with validity domains and correction budgets. Acquisition route: Derive or acquire a field-dependent interacting nuclear free energy with its uncertainty, matched to the chosen finite-density action. The ideal gas is only a thermodynamic control. [Primary source](https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.00020) · [Additional source](https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.10945). ### I-FIELD: One viable field-to-material history The tested homogeneous background fails its energy gate. Dense QCD and a separate cosine action now have interacting static and dynamical tests; a matched ordinary stellar material history, quantum corrections and astrophysical occurrence remain unestablished. The density-normalized seed fails to form appreciable contrast within the expanding-cloud 80-microsecond control, despite formation from larger imposed seeds. Needed: Same action and physical point across all tests, with a matched nuclear/matter map and a material history relevant to stars or ejecta. Acquisition route: Solve a specified surviving action through quantum/energy, formation, stability, reversal and location-specific observational gates. Do not add free cancellation terms to rescue the rejected background. [Primary source](https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.13354). ## Gate semantics The checker reads frozen results and verifies output hashes, explicit scientific acceptance fields and matching physical-model fingerprints. It rejects missing results, numerical-only success, corrupted output and attempts to combine different successful models. A completion gate establishes only its explicitly covered package. A prerequisite gate makes downstream work eligible only after its named work packages are complete; it never marks an unexecuted downstream calculation complete. Future calculations must add their own frozen completion evidence before later packages can advance. [Full contract](research-program.json) · [Machine-readable status](research-program-status.json) · [Findings](buildout-findings.md) · [Matrix intake schema](alpha-alpha-input-contract.json). ## Executed experiments beyond prerequisite tracking Eight new stages passed 293 scoped checks, including calibrated nuclear predictions, empirical pole matching, joint measured chronology, interacting npe-muon matter, reciprocal field dynamics, saved-shell release, reserved element predictions and thermal/gravitational modes. The cold cosine benchmark has a localized radial minimum and specified-seed dynamical access; a complete astrophysical field history remains unestablished. Ordinary alternatives absorb much of the delivered abundance contrast. [Current findings](experiment-findings.md) · [Seven figures and data](/research/metastable/full/experiments/index.html). ## Spin–isospin thresholds, populations and transitions All twelve E24–E35 identifiers now have executed components, with 251 scoped checks. [Findings](spin-isospin-findings.md), [full-protocol coverage](spin-isospin-ledger.json) and [eight figures with data](/research/metastable/full/spin-isospin/index.html) distinguish code benchmarks, conditional calculations and unmet physical acceptance. New calculations cover coupled channels, poles, weak thresholds, local field matching, triton response, weak overlaps, restricted BBN populations, conditional ignition, continuum time evolution, synthetic identifiability, a Fe57 response and the source lattice two-body sector. No observationally viable threshold-crossing field history is established. ## Public-input continuation An additional 132 components passed 65221 scoped checks. [Results](public-input-findings.md), [coverage and remaining work](public-input-ledger.json), and [figures with data](/research/metastable/full/public-inputs/index.html) now include released nuclear posteriors, the Bonn A/B/C source benchmark, thermal weak conversion, solved neutral reactions, charged bound states and continuum phases, full-spin four-body predictions, microscopic trinucleon currents and a fitted axial contact transferred to reserved pp fusion, evaluated cross sections, conditional abundance likelihoods, full-EOS MESA contraction, coupled deuteron threshold passage, real dineutron-search limits, measured Th229 response, a dilute finite-temperature EOS the source compact-alpha locality test and public many-nucleon CCSD benchmarks. These replace several earlier “not run” entries. They do not supply the missing field response or complete charged three-body breakup, rigorous spectator-wave remainder bounds, four-body reactions or the thermodynamic many-body limit. Neutral higher-wave amplitudes cross breakup; independently normalized quartet l=0…4 exclusive flux now agrees with a separate elastic-loss calculation at the declared energies. Charged doublet P/D/F and quartet S/P/D/F phases run below breakup. Atomic components include finite-nuclear-mass thresholds, inclusive spectator kinematics and conditional helium charge kinetics; a corrected weak lifetime remains open. Matched-density thermal Gaussian states receive normal charge-conserving stability tests and negative-mode followups, followed by 96 pp/nn/np anomalous-curvature audits at 32 selected normal minima. Colder independent audits identify np anomalous saddles at 2 MeV; a subsequent analytic-response solve and coupled stability audit accept restricted Gaussian paired local minima at that point. Exact four-nucleon canonical density correlations and local quartet occupancy remain distinct from a thermodynamic limit. Checkpoint21 preserves all128 prior scientific components and adds four independently reviewed scoped results. Review/controller checks remain separate from author component counts. The full141-cell finite screened-contact certificate is independently reconstructed, but its source width0.0096595478245381 fails the unchanged2e-8 target. Original source/phase gates, zero-range certification and physical flux remain unadmitted. [Certificate review](w04-full-independent-screened-certificate-review-20261008.md). One upper neutral-even Gaussian block has all5778 columns/181 panels independently reviewed. Its represented Rayleigh interval[3.4714277938751195e-7,3.4715099061157804e-7] is entirely below the unchanged2e-6 strictminimum threshold; this is not a physical negative mode or rigorous root/operator enclosure. Three blocks remain uncomputed. [Upper-block review](w10-upper-physical-independent-review-20261008.md). The Re-only historical calculation demonstrates quantified non-identifiability:225 chronology-strength ridge points,183 admitted under the declared4.6Gyr ceiling, and zero marginalized rank with free chronology or heterogeneous inventories. Its inventory ceiling is conditional, not an empirical confidence interval or heavy-nucleus theta constraint. [Historical inference](isotope-nonidentifiability-findings-20261008.md). Six fixed planar collision cases reach dimensionless tau120,57000 steps and726 frames with an independent full-history review. The saved finite-box histories show rebound and two surviving walls at tau120. This is a return-controlled collision in a separate field branch, with no complete annihilation to measured pure radiation, ordinary-matter matching, formation/lifetime or infinite-volume claim. A qualified diagnostic inventory now joins13 cached and27 fresh candidates into40 comparisons while retaining all failures and cohort provenance; it supplies no new physical state or stationary phase. The six-case tiny hydrodynamic method has separate numerical/controller reviews; its31-case production remains unreleased. The oxygen anchor and physical-flux method reviews remain finite algebra/control results, with no real oxygen eightsector correction or physical encounter production. Original20261005 methods and failed attempts remain individually accessible in the frozen catalog. Historical input gaps are attached only to named failed attempts and do not admit scientific evidence. [Tiny method review](w15-complete-tiny-method-review-20261008.md), [bounded method reviews](independent-bounded-reviews-20261008.md), [flux controller review](w27-full-method-review-findings-20261008.md). The original fixed optical method now has a complete independent review of 103 records: 65 tables and 6,305 coefficients, 24 scalar supports and 72 coordinates, two crossing boxes and ten coordinates, and twelve physical keys with 36 jets and 1,116 components. Five bounded numerical allocations and their metadata JOIN retain the original precision and comparison gates. This adds review evidence for an existing method, with no new scientific component or independent physical confirmation. The failed reviews remain preserved. Weighted fusion, ordinary alternatives, field matching, the full physical Hessian and a minimum certificate remain open. [Complete optical method review](w22-complete-partition-review-20261008.md). For the selected LO canonical QCD axion vacuum potential, an analytic stationary census proves only the ordinary static minimum within|theta|<=0.5 for every finite positive quark-mass ratio; the equal-mass cusp is a maximum. This scoped negative result constrains no f_a and excludes neither finite-density nor oscillatory backgrounds. Full field viability remains open.
