An Information-Theoretic One-Erasure Coefficient for Gravity: Finite Counting, Empirical Comparison, and Limits

An Information-Theoretic One-Erasure Coefficient for Gravity: Finite Counting, Empirical Comparison, and Limits. Derives the dimensionless coefficient of a horizon-fed gravity relation from a finite record census rather than fitting it. Direct enumeration shows the leading virtua...

Special and General Relativity from the Finite-QEC Substrate: The Propagation Clock, the Equivalence Principle, and the Horizon Ledger

Corrected version. This revision retracts the physical identification of the nearest-neighbour simple-cubic Bloch mode with the asymptotic photon. The exact Bloch group velocity is excluded inside its own 10-100 MeV support by Fermi GRB 090510 timing: the effective quadratic scal...

The Born Rule as a Closed Record Pair: Measurement, Objectivity, and the Arrow of Time in a Quantum-Error-Correcting Substrate

This revised note argues that, within the accepted complex quantum-error-correcting record substrate, the quadratic Born form arises from linear record writing, orthogonality of record sectors, and isometric normalization before any probability measure is introduced. Conditional...

When Does a Quantum Transition Become a Record? Instruments, export, and cadence in finite quantum dynamics

A finite transition grammar does not by itself determine a measurement record. This report separates six layers: transition support, effects, instruments, environmental export, invocation cadence, and autonomous dissipative dynamics. Exact finite witnesses show which implications...

A Physics Canon as a Replayable Algebraic Object: Verifier-Governed Extraction, Representation, and Minimality Classification

A verifier-governed method for converting a changing foundational-physics corpus into a byte-pinned algebraic presentation, testing a representation against contracts frozen before evidence, and classifying its minimality. The accepted weak representation is irreducible and rigid...

A Terminating Derivation of the Fine-Structure Constant: Closed-Form Kernel, Blind Class Adjudication, and a Pre-Committed Metrology Branch

A Terminating Derivation of the Fine-Structure Constant: Closed-Form Kernel, Blind Class Adjudication, and a Pre-Committed Metrology Branch. Complete two-term polynomial for alpha^-1(0) = 137.0359991069051 with closed-form second-order kernel, blind class adjudication and termina...

A Pre-Registered Fine-Structure Boundary from a Monitored Wilson-Endpoint Response: alpha^-1(0) = 137.0359991069051, Registered Mid-Fork

Addendum, 11 August 2026 (version 2). This version corrects the registered acceptance number from 137.035999106904 to 137.0359991069051. The change is numerics, not physics: the original value came from a Richardson extrapolation that fitted 1/N² to a sequence converging as 1/N⁴,...
