Open Scientific Review Architecture

The Science of Fabric Reality operates an open, structured scientific review architecture. External researchers, mathematicians, and physicists are invited to audit definitions, examine proof targets, reproduce numerical simulations, and submit formal claim challenges.

Epistemic Rule: Review Demarcation

To avoid status inflation, internal audits and open public comments are designated as SELF_REVIEW and OPEN_CRITIQUE. The status FORMAL_PEER_REVIEW or PUBLICATION_PEER_REVIEW is reserved exclusively for structured external referee processes.

1. Structured Review Tracks

Track A: Mathematics Audit

• Target Domain: Metric-measure Dirichlet forms, self-adjoint operator resolvents, and Lean 4 formalization targets.
• Key Artifacts:
  • Formalization Roadmap
  • Lean 4 Verification Sources
  • Proof Candidate Registry (formal-proof-registry.json)
• Focus Questions:
  1. Is the non-perturbative continuum limit strictly bounded?
  2. Does the adm_composition lemma in Lean 4 contain hidden axiomatic dependencies?

Track B: Theoretical Physics Review

• Target Domain: The Fabric Field Equations (FFE), Fractal Quantum Field Theory (FQFT), and the PHYSICA variational canon.
• Key Artifacts:
  • Fabric Field Equation
  • Fractal Quantum Field Theory
  • The PHYSICA Canon
• Focus Questions:
  1. Does the FFE constrained variational system preserve energy-momentum conservation under covariant differentiation?
  2. Are lepton mass fits properly demarcated as an exact calibrated fit (post-hoc; $\text{DOF}=0$)?

Track C: Metrology & Experimental Evidence

• Target Domain: 7-fold uncertainty decomposition ($U_{\text{NUM}}$ to $U_{\text{REF}}$), NIST ASD atomic spectroscopic anchors, PTB directional emissivity baselines, and GUM/VIM standards.
• Key Artifacts:
  • Reference Atlas & External Sources
  • Experimental Evidence Framework
  • Uncertainty Registry (experimental-uncertainty-registry.json)
• Focus Questions:
  1. Are comparator baselines strictly separated from empirical validation claims?
  2. Is the active P4 sealed prediction count strictly zero?

Track D: Code & Computational Reproduction

• Target Domain: Automated test execution, RFC 8785 metadata hashes, and visual QA telemetry.
• Key Artifacts:
  • Reproducibility & Verification Guide
  • Verification scripts: scripts/audit-citations-and-hashes.mjs, scripts/audit-reader-surface.mjs.

2. Formal Claim Challenge Protocol

The corpus provides a deterministic pathway for submitting formal scientific counterexamples or empirical discrepancies:

[CLAIM CHALLENGE WORKFLOW]
1. Identify Target Claim ID (e.g. THM-INV-01, OBS-LPFR-01, FQFT-R1)
2. Formulate Mathematical Counterexample OR Empirical Discrepancy
3. Specify Supporting Peer-Reviewed Citation / SI Traceable Dataset
4. Submit Challenge via Open Research Portal
5. Log Challenge in Public Research Errata & Update Claim Boundaries

• Challenge Acceptance Policy: Any mathematically sound counterexample or peer-reviewed empirical contradiction is logged publicly in the corpus errata, and the affected claim boundary is downgraded or retracted immediately.
