Living Document Archive
Archived versions of the Gap Geometry Living Document. Each version is preserved as a PDF (for humans) and a text file (for machines and archival). The current version is always on the Living Document page.
How This Archive Works
The Living Document always reflects the current state of the framework. When the Living Document is updated, the outgoing version is archived here as a dated PDF + text pair. GitHub also preserves the full commit history, but this archive provides clean, direct access to each version without requiring knowledge of version control.
Archived Versions
v1.6
9 September 2026
The rework. The page is now the claims register and nothing else: the object
— one classical function, p(L) = L/(2 sinh(L/2)); the chord identity at r = 2; the gap
as the complement 1 − √2·ln 2, the shortfall of the argument against its
chord in one metric — then the Summary of Claims (kind · scope · status; no numbered
levels), the published record on two shelves with no paper numbers and a read now line for each
paper, what connects, the corrections log, the history. Readings taken through the Binary Tower live with
the instrument. The neutral forms √2·ln(2) and 1 − √2·ln(2) are
printed alone, the corpus symbols named once. The complement 1 − √2·ln 2
— the paper on the object itself, its place on the line, the cells and the saddle — stands on the
Foundational shelf; the synthesis, One coordinate up, reads the thirteen papers on that line, and the
read now column is drawn from it. Pre-update
snapshot preserved below.
v1.5 + P13
15 July 2026
Two-paper publication day — and the Lock Atlas goes live. KAUD = √2 · ln(2): The Crossing Zone Hinge — Three Thresholds and the Identity 1/(2 ln 2) − 1/√2 = GAUD/(2 ln 2) published (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/F7PCX) — three exactly-positioned thresholds in the Binary Tower’s [35, 37] interval, bound by exact identities, after a seven-round review chain across five AI architectures. Gap Scaling Across Domains: The 400/11 Formula updated to v1.0.4 (error-bound wording erratum, three fixes, no mathematical content changed; source filenames neutralized to
Gap_Scaling_Formula.txt/.pdf; DOI unchanged). The Lock Atlas — the framework’s identities as a living map, 87 released locks with a reader/map two-arrival design — went live the same morning. The Living Document now lists The Crossing Zone Hinge with live links, OSF code, and Published date; The 400/11 Formula’s row carries the v1.0.4 update note. Pre-update snapshot (v1.5 state, 10 July) preserved below.v1.5
12 June 2026 — Superseded 2026-07-15
New paper added: 1, 7, 124, 4318, … — Integer Mellin Moments of the Dome tanh(x)/cosh(2x) (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/WVD3G) — the standalone number-theory paper on the dome's even-moment integer sequence. Integrality proved for all n; the full 3×3×3 weight-family cube classified (unique integer triple, double-swept); the sequence verified absent from OEIS prior to publication (novelty check archived in the paper folder). First framework paper whose title is its own sequence. The Living Document now lists Integer Mellin Moments of the Dome with live links, OSF code, and Published date. Pre-update snapshot (v1.4 state) preserved below.
v1.4
2 June 2026 — Superseded 2026-06-12
Two-paper publication day. Saturation Constants of the Exact-Approximation Method added to the framework following OSF publication on 2026-06-02 (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/6QZRB) and same-day GitHub repo upload — the first framework paper to carry its own DOI on page 1 of the .txt and .pdf, establishing the new standard for future papers. The η Corridor in 3D Wilson–Fisher Critical Phenomena — Empirical Observation and its Verification Companion published the same day under a single shared OSF project (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/PD73B) — the framework’s first multi-file deposit, with main paper and Companion sharing one DOI and cited together. Both papers carry their own DOI on page 1. The Living Document now lists both with the live links, OSF codes, and Published date 2026-06-02. Pre-update snapshot (v1.3 state) preserved below.
v1.3
5 May 2026 — Superseded 2 June 2026
Cross-paper link architecture overhaul. Five of the early papers had paper-to-paper file URLs (which would break under any future filename change) replaced with a durable three-anchor block: OSF main project, About page, and Direct Documents download index. Paper-specific DOIs preserved (DOIs are stable). Per-paper Update entries added/extended on the Living Document. OSF deep-link IDs refreshed across all hub HTMLs after each push. No mathematical content changed in any paper. Same-day pre-link-cleanup state archived as the v1.2 snapshot below.
v1.2
2 May 2026 — Superseded 5 May 2026
Evidence-level unification. The Living Document now uses the three-level evidence classification from the Methodology page: Level 1 — Exact [Theorem], Level 2 — Empirical [Observation], Level 3 — Conjectural [Conjecture]. The existing Verified / Conjectural / Open status badges are retained as secondary labels that map onto the primary levels. A new “Level” column is added to the Summary of Claims table. The Verification Protocol section now references all three levels by name.
v1.1
13 April 2026 — Superseded 2 May 2026
Three-threshold refinement of the 35–37 zone. The earlier single “Landauer crossing” framing is replaced with three distinct thresholds: the Landauer crossing at n·G = ln 2 (n ≈ 35.11), the geometric-damping threshold at n·G = 1/√2 (n ≈ 35.82), and the Shannon bound at n·G = 1/(2 ln 2) (n ≈ 36.54). The identity 1/(2 ln 2) − 1/√2 = G/(2 ln 2) is retitled as the “√2-to-Shannon gap identity”. All OSF files refreshed to match.
Note on v1.0. The initial release (v1.0) and the three-threshold refinement (v1.1) were published the same day, 13 April 2026. Version 1.0 existed for only a few hours before being corrected. No separate PDF was archived for v1.0. The PDFs above reflect the corrected v1.1 state. The pre-correction HTML is preserved in the Git history.
