Status of the program's claims on The Broken-Born program

The graveyard: dead claims

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

The graveyard is the register of the Broken-Born program’s dead claims: ideas the program put forward that its calculations, a blind review or an observation then killed. Each entry says what was claimed and what killed it, and links the claim’s obituary page and the calculation, review ruling or decision that settled it; dead items told inside other pages, and the predictions withdrawn from the program’s table, are listed with them. A claim recorded here is not revived.

Claims that stand

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

This register lists the Broken-Born program’s claims that currently stand: postulates, derived results and predictions that no calculation, review or observation has killed. Each line gives the claim, the tags its sources attach and what verifies it, grouped by the sections of the wiki. Standing is not the same as confirmed: most of these claims are untested by experiment, a machine check confirms the algebra but not whether the algebra describes nature, and the dark-energy sector is under pressure from current data.

Open problems and the queue

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

This register lists the problems the Broken-Born program has not yet solved and the order in which work on them is queued. Its core is the eleven numbered open problems of checkpoint #11, the program’s current reference, which says that none of them is any longer about whether the structure can exist. Around that list it collects the current work queue, the open ends of the toy models, the open problems raised in the notes, the reviews and the other papers, and the open sub-questions recorded on pages about other subjects. #11 says the word “theory” still waits on three of the numbered problems: deriving the interaction potential of the program’s second graviton from its geometric action, comparing a vacuum-energy identity with the literature on partially massless gravity, and extending proofs made for positive-definite metrics to the signature of spacetime. The register ends with the 44 suspected errors in the source documents recorded while this wiki was built. Independent agents, each told to refute a flag, then re-checked the first 43. Of the first 42, 32 were confirmed, 8 depend on a convention or a reading the documents support, 2 are unclear because they rest on model memory, and none was refuted; flag 43, added later, was confirmed by both of its two checks. Flag 44, a minor point of wording raised after the audit, has not yet been audited. Each still awaits Paul’s ruling.

Conjectures: chat-only and popsci-only claims

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

This register collects the claims that are not part of the program’s derived record. Some exist only in the original claude.ai conversation and are known from a list in the handoff document; some appear only in the two popular articles; and a few sit inside the record but are called conjectures by their own sources. No document in the repository derives them and no script checks them, so they are kept apart from the program’s results. The popular article “The Universe’s Other Half” presents the framework as if it were confirmed and never decides a claim’s status. Each line says where the claim is recorded and how it stands against the record.

Superseded statements

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

This register lists the statements the program once made and later replaced with corrected versions. A superseded statement differs from a dead claim: the subject survives, but its earlier form is no longer the program’s position, often because a calculation or a review forced a repair. Each line names the old statement, what replaced it and where the replacement is recorded. The older documents are kept as an audit trail and still contain the old forms: the lab notebook, for example, keeps its version-0.1 body with the corrections appended as addenda, so the old forms read there as if they were current.
