OPH Paper Index

This directory is the canonical publication surface for the main OPH papers. Each paper is kept as a TeX source beside its built PDF.

For a first reading, begin with the flagship technical paper, Finite Observer Consensus as a Reconstruction Principle, then Observers Are All You Need for the observer interpretation and the two quantitative closures, then the two technical derivation papers for spacetime and gravity on one side and Standard Model gauge structure on the other. The consensus, particle, and screen papers provide the finite repair theorem, numerical continuations, and physical carrier architecture. The focused positive-chamber Koide paper isolates the exact face-circulant identity and conditional finite tracial Gelfand--Naimark--Segal balance from the open physical family attachment, phase, and numerical ratios. The focused finite de Sitter capacity paper proves the smooth shock normalization, finite entropy and transfer laws, and graph-spectrum identity, with the physical time-advance dictionary stated as a separate conditional attachment.

The flavor theorem is developed in The Positive-Chamber Koide Identity for Icosahedral Face Circulants. The finite de Sitter theorem is developed in The de Sitter Time-Advance Sign from a Finite Screen with Fixed Capacity. Focused papers are listed in the supplement index.

Shared TeX lives in tex_fragments/. The BFT/QECC appendix is included by Reality as a Consensus Protocol.

Reproducibility

The shared release identifier lives in release_info.tex. paper_release_manifest.json records the paper artifacts and the builder-stamped canonical book receipt.

From the repository root:

python3 tools/refresh_paper_release.py --preview

This rebuilds review PDFs and their manifest without requiring a version bump, including when the visible identifier belongs to an existing release. After manual review, run python3 tools/bump_paper_release.py followed by python3 tools/refresh_paper_release.py --publication to prepare a candidate under a new release identifier. Publication mode rebuilds the canonical book and binds its bytes to that identifier in the same manifest.
