Master External Source Authority & Reference Atlas ​

This registry establishes the frozen external authority boundary for all scientific assertions across this corpus. Every external citation states its exact bounded claim scope and what it does NOT support. External comparator sources (e.g., NIST ASD, CODATA, Lewenstein SFA, PTB radiometry) provide versioned physical anchors and theoretical baseline comparators—they do not constitute authorial empirical validation of Science of Fabric Reality or Relational Field Theory.

1. Citation Apparatus & Data Exports ​

All bibliographic entries across this corpus are derived from a single canonical registry (reports/current/external-source-registry.json). To ensure machine-actionable reproducibility, standard citation artifacts are generated deterministically:

  • BibTeX Compilation: [references.bib](file:///reports/current/citations/references.bib)
  • CSL-JSON Data: [references.csl.json](file:///reports/current/citations/references.csl.json)
  • Source Authority Schema: [source-authority.json](file:///reports/current/citations/source-authority.json)
