History on The Broken-Born program

Timeline

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The timeline lists the program’s events in date order, from Max Born’s paper of 1938 to the third data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI), which the handoff names the program’s external clock, since its data can kill the dark-energy sector or the whole framework. The work done on claude.ai in September and October 2026 is almost entirely undated, so those events follow the creation order of the artifacts in HANDOFF.md §3. From the move to this repository on 2026-10-19, the commit history dates each step to the minute: review round 3 and the retirement of the soliton candidate, the toy models and review round 4, the checkpoint’s versions 2.1 and 2.2, and the building of this wiki, with the file of suspected source errors its verifiers kept and the audit that re-checked every item; then, on the next day, a rule on how the wiki states negative results, new pages of established physics, two further flags, a worksheet for ruling on the flags, a second round of new pages, and a static site built from the wiki.

The three debts

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The three debts are the three open problems that the program’s first write-up, the lab notebook #1, ranked most severe and called its “three named debts”; the calc notes #2 to #8, written to close them, call them Debt 1, Debt 2 and Debt 3. Debt 1 asked for the field equation of momentum-space geometry, the question left open since Born’s paper of 1938. Debt 2 asked where the velocity gate comes from, the factor that confines the self-interaction of conjugate matter to particles of nearly equal velocity. Debt 3 asked whether that interaction makes dark matter gather into streams of shared velocity, the program’s founding image. Debt 3 was closed first, against the program: such clumping is nowhere required. Debt 1 was closed in structure: momentum-space geometry is carried by a massive spin-2 field of a known class of bimetric gravity, though the class was selected rather than derived from the program’s action. Debt 2’s mechanism, exchange of that field, came out of the first Debt-1 note; the gate’s exact shape is still open.
