Method
P1–P3 build the core: make preconditions explicit, warrant transitions, and test concrete claims at fixed evidence states.

How the programme fits together
Prephysics is a research programme around one shared question: when is a physical claim warranted at the strength in which it is stated?
Cosmology & dark sector
These projects ask which parts of cosmological conclusions come from observations and which depend on modelling assumptions and comparison frames.
Cosmology →Dark sector →Evidence & scientific claims
Further work covers AI discovery claims, quantum interpretations, finality, evidence provenance, and discriminative testing.

The P1–P3 architecture
The graphic is the public first-reading view. It presents the logic in plain language while keeping the canonical technical terms intact; deeper notation remains available in the expert view.
Separate pattern library
S1–S7 pattern library
P9 v3 defines S1–S7 as a separate pattern library and boundary-tests those definitions against a source-bound fourteen-case corpus. The published calibration reports no verified firings in that baseline. The patterns are not P3 verdict conditions; the operative P1–P3 chain still runs from applicability conditions through transition diagnosis to token-level verdicts.
Necessary presuppositions are left unstated.
The route from a theoretical claim to possible observation or assessment remains unclear.
A precondition is mistakenly presented as a physical result.
The explanation already presupposes what it is meant to explain.
A claim is carried beyond the range warranted by its declared preconditions.
Each justification already demands another precondition without identifying a clear stopping point.
A theory is asked to derive foundations that it already needs in order to make its own claims.
P9 · Functional Incompleteness Argument (FIA). FIA gives the functional minimum for an Applicability-Diagnostic Function: a complete, explicit and auditable diagnosis must make three things recoverable — what the claim owes, what warrants the support-relevant inferential transitions, and whether the requirements and warrants are satisfied by this versioned claim. None is recoverable from the other two. P1 → P2 → P3 is one concrete realisation, not the only possible one. P9 is the necessity and pattern anchor, not a fourth verdict layer.
