Open-access research basis
How to read this page
The publications page is not intended as a simple archive list. It presents the research programme as a layered architecture: a sequence of methodological, diagnostic, and application-oriented papers that together define Prephysics as an applicability-diagnostic framework. The monographs provide the larger exposition; the Zenodo records supply persistent, citable access points for the individual layers.
The programme begins with structural preconditions of physical description and then moves through levels of description, probabilistic applicability, AI-based discovery claims, quantum-mechanical boundary problems, cosmological origin strategies, self-applicability, and the general necessity of applicability conditions. The result is not a collection of unrelated essays, but a structured research line that asks the same prior question across different domains: when is a physical claim licensed as physically applicable?
How to read this page: the layer architecture is a map. It shows how the individual papers support one another, how the books are anchored in open research records, and how the public-facing cosmology volume connects back to the formal diagnostic programme.
Why Zenodo as the central archive
Zenodo is the central open-access archive because it provides stable DOIs, versioned records, and long-term citability. PhilPeople and ORCID support academic profile visibility. Together with the books, these records form an external reference network that makes the programme discoverable, auditable, and citable beyond the homepage itself.
- Prephysics and applicability diagnostics.
- Conditions of physical applicability and levels of description.
- Cosmology, dark matter, dark energy, and backreaction.
- AI-based physical claims and the distinction between performance and physical discovery.
This structure also helps readers locate the level at which a question belongs. Some questions concern formal preconditions, others concern explanatory transfer, and others concern applications such as cosmology or AI. The layer map prevents these levels from collapsing into one another and makes the research programme easier to cite selectively.
Research Architecture · Layers I–IX
The programme is organized across nine layers — from the structural preconditions of physical description to the concluding prephysical turn.
- Layer I · P1 Structural Preconditions — what must hold before any physical description can apply · DOI
- Layer II · P2 Levels of Description — application conditions, theoretical content, and empirical use as distinct methodological levels · DOI
- Layer III · P3 Applicability / P4 AI Verdict — verdict protocols for probabilistic and ML-based claims · DOI · DOI
- Layer IV · P5 Quantum Mechanics — applicability diagnostics applied to quantum interpretations · DOI
- Layer V · P6 Initial Conditions / P10 ΛCDM Regime Profile — initial-condition regress and the licensing question for ΛCDM in cosmological deployment · DOI · DOI
- Layer VI · P7 Origin Strategies — the C1–C7 constraint profile across twelve origin strategies · DOI
- Layer VII · P8 Self-Applicability — Final Theory claims and the Structural Boundary Result with five sublemmas · DOI
- Layer VIII · P9 Fourteen-Case Argument — fourteen cases showing why applicability conditions cannot be skipped · DOI
- Layer IX · P11 The Prephysical Turn — the prephysical turn as the architectural conclusion · DOI
For readers entering from philosophy of physics, the sequence shows the movement from formal preconditions to explanatory levels and applicability verdicts. For readers entering from cosmology, the key path runs through Layer V and the dark-sector audit. For readers entering from AI and discovery claims, the relevant path is the distinction between predictive performance and physically licensed explanation.
