[E]Failure of the unique-root equation F_U(1)(α) = 0, a second admissible root, or a stable mismatch outside the stated interface uncertainty.
A theory that cannot fail explains nothing. This page lists the committed kill criteria of the TFPT 5.4 compiler closure — frozen in advance in the freeze file — together with the experiment or structural argument that would kill the construction. The no-knobs audit underneath records what the theory may consume as input and what it may not.
Each output is killed by any single satisfied criterion. The construction does not survive on most outputs being right.
The full status-graded surface as a board: each card carries the predicted value, the single condition that would falsify it, and — where a standalone empirical audit exists in the experiments/ tree — its live status. These confrontations are search targets, not load-bearing claims; no card is upgraded by data proximity.
Failure of the unique-root equation F_U(1)(α) = 0, a second admissible root, or a stable mismatch outside the stated interface uncertainty.
Stable CKM global-fit mismatch after the declared comparison map.
A future CKM/PMNS global fit that cannot be carried by a residue matrix with det 8, principal minors (2,3,5) and this characteristic polynomial.
A source→pole transfer that lands far from 2/3, or a demonstration that the lepton φ₀-ladder is incompatible with the measured charged-lepton masses.
A JUNO central value clearly away from 0.307 at high significance kills the seam-misalignment mechanism.
Robust normal-ordering global-fit exclusion at the stated confidence level.
A robust off-maximal octant determination by NOvA / T2K / DUNE.
Inverted ordering, a large m_ββ detection, a cosmological Σm_ν < 0.0586 eV (the normal-ordering floor, v272), or a δ_PMNS robustly outside the band 240° ± ~9° = δ_CKM,lead + π (the Galois lock; v320, sharpened v322) kills the minimal Majorana / Galois-CP branch.
A measured δ_PMNS robustly outside the band 240° ± ~9° (= δ_CKM,lead + π), or landing on a different hexagonal node (60/120/180/300°), at >3σ (DUNE / Hyper-K / JUNO) falsifies the whole Galois-CP organisation.
A solid neutron-EDM signal above the SM background falsifies the structural cancellation.
Only fails if mis-asserted as a compiler power; there is no clean φ₀ power for the QCD-confinement / EW-Yukawa ratio.
A robust n_s far from the Starobinsky line on the same R² attractor (n_s ≥ 0.967 also kills the scalaron-reheating chain).
Any robust r ≳ 0.01 kills the R² branch carrying M_Pl and A_s.
A_s incompatible with the seam-fixed scalaron mass on the R² branch.
Robust α_s < −5×10⁻³ or > +3×10⁻³ at ≥5σ; any robust POSITIVE running kills the plateau branch (plateau potentials give α_s < 0).
Robust μ < 0.9×10⁻⁸ or > 4×10⁻⁸.
A scalaron mass incompatible with the seam power c₃⁷ = c₃^(Ω_adm − 10 b₁).
Robust inconsistency under the declared Planck comparison convention.
Robust exclusion of the quoted value under the declared cosmological pipeline (as a compiler power it is explicitly not closed).
A robust w ≠ −1 kills the single-engine dark-energy readout.
Robust discovery of a second light seam-even Higgs doublet.
A settled (m_t, α_s) RGE pull off the double-critical surface λ(M̄) = β_λ(M̄) = 0 at >5σ kills the free-seam boundary condition (the compiler core is untouched).
An externally calibrated β = 0 within tight error.
Exclusion of the determinant-line axion window at the coupled sensitivity (relic abundance is scenario-sensitive, not closed).
A stable NA62 BR(K⁺) outside [7,12]×10⁻¹¹, or a KOTO-II BR(K_L) off the predicted Grossman–Nir point, breaks the TFPT flavor bridge for this sector (the compiler core is untouched).
A structured achromatic residual intercept consistent with zero across the horizon-scale image after honest GRMHD subtraction — or one failing the frequency / 1/r² / sign-flip nulls — falsifies the channel (the compiler core is untouched).
A detected integer line (e.g. 4ν₀ = 2ν_u/1.5) with no geometric tooth at 1.5ν_u kills the ladder reading of the 3:2 pairs; even a tooth hit would stay [C] until the ladder↔oscillator mapping is derived. The compiler core is untouched either way.
The same prediction surface as one dense table: for each readout, the derivation, the TFPT value, the current measured value, the deviation, the dated experimental source, and the experiment — with an approximate year — that will turn it into a definitive hit or kill (typically a sharper, future measurement). Every value is repo-documented; nothing is fitted.

experiments/tree (current bests: CODATA 2022, NuFIT 6.0, ACT DR6, Planck 2018, PDG 2024, BK18, DESI DR2, NA62 2026); the “decisive” column is the forward kill-test board (v321), whose timelines are the publicly stated experimental targets, not TFPT outputs. Deviations are colour-graded by the live empirical finding; no readout is upgraded by data proximity.The solar angle θ₁₂ (JUNO), the tensor ratio r (CMB-S4), neutrino ordering, the strong-CP null, dark-energy w, the EM fixed point, the E₈ glue, the flavor invariants, and no second Higgs — each row is sufficient on its own to falsify the construction. m_p/m_e is listed for honesty: it is explicitly not claimed as a compiler power.
A JUNO central value clearly away from sin²θ₁₂ ≈ 0.307 at high significance kills the seam-misalignment mechanism. JUNO has been taking data since August 2025 — this is the sharpest live test.
Conditional near-term test (NOT a frozen prediction; v99). If the Koide source→pole flow runs exactly N_fam = 3 steps (one per family), the τ mass is forced to m_τ = 1776.9427 MeV. The PDG-2025 world average 1776.93 ± 0.09 MeV sits +0.14σ from it; Belle II's most precise single measurement (1777.09 ± 0.08 ± 0.11 MeV, pseudomass endpoint, PRD 108 032006) is +1.1σ above. Separating the n = 3 step from n = 4 (1776.967) needs σ(m_τ) ≈ 0.01 MeV — about 10× today's precision (Belle II full dataset / BES III threshold scan). A stable m_τ away from the step value kills the integer-step reading; the firewalled Koide flow itself stays [C].
Exploratory cross-domain signature (NOT a frozen prediction). v425 shows the four frontier transfers are ONE native seam recovery semigroup, so the same log-periodic comb at ω = 2π/ln((3/2)⁶) = 2.583 (amplitude ~2%) should appear in every wide-range recovery channel. Searched on real data (CHIME baseband + FAST FRB tails, magnetar outbursts, GRB afterglows) → clean null so far: ms FRB bursts are too short / scattering-dominated, and the cleaner wide-ln(t) channels (Vela day-cadence ν(t) timing, stacked BH late-time tails at O5+) are still data-limited. A confirmed ω = 2.58 comb in ≥ 2 independent wide-range channels would be striking; its absence only disfavours the recovery-channel reading — the firewall keeps the compiler core untouched.
Any robust r ≳ 0.01 is incompatible with the R² branch on which M_Pl and A_s rest. The scalaron predicts r = 12/N★² ≈ 0.004, already below the BK18 bound r < 0.036.
The R² attractor fixes the running parameter-free: α_s = −2/N★² = −r/6 ∈ [−8.0, −5.6]×10⁻⁴. Plateau potentials give α_s < 0, so any robust POSITIVE running at ≥5σ kills the branch — the P-ACT-LB record leg already has a positive central value (+0.0062 ± 0.0052, −1.33σ from TFPT): the watch channel.
Inverted ordering, or a large effective Majorana mass m_ββ, kills the Majorana branch. TFPT prefers normal ordering with a small m_ββ.
The two CP phases are Galois-locked: both are powers of one hexagonal unit ρ = ζ₆ of the family factor, so δ_PMNS = arg(ρ⁴) = δ_CKM,lead + π = 240° (the previously assigned value is now a forced relation to the measured quark phase). A measured δ_PMNS robustly away from 240° (beyond the sub-leading budget, >3σ at DUNE/Hyper-K/JUNO) falsifies the whole Galois-CP organisation.
A solid neutron-EDM signal above the SM background falsifies the structural cancellation. θ_eff = 0 follows from γ₅-Hermiticity, polar structure and the sheet involution plus reflection positivity.
A robust w ≠ −1 kills the single-engine dark-energy readout, where Λ ∼ e⁻²ᵅ⁻¹ and H₀ ∼ √Λ come from the same exponential scale grammar.
F_U(1)(α) = 0 fails to admit a unique positive root, or the root drifts outside the declared interface uncertainty (currently ≈ 4 × 10⁻⁸ in α⁻¹, about 1.9σ of CODATA-2022).
D₅ and A₃ fail to share the ℤ₄ discriminant, or the glue norms do not sum to the E₈ root norm 2. The whole compiler closure rests on this lattice fact.
A future global CKM/PMNS fit that cannot be carried by a residue matrix with det R = 8, principal 2-minors (2,3,5) and χ_R = t³ − 9t² + 10t − 8. Every load-bearing flavor number must live in an E₈ projection.
Robust discovery of a second light seam-even Higgs doublet. The carrier index forces N_Φ = g_car − |μ₄| = 1; an additional doublet kills it.
The proton/electron ratio is explicitly NOT claimed as a compiler power. It is a cross-sector QCD/EW ratio, deliberately not forced onto the ladder — it only fails if mis-asserted as a compiler power.
A claim is promoted past the grade its document carries, an empirical input enters undeclared, or the text disagrees with the machine-checked ledger. The ledger always wins.
A claim of 'no fitted constants' is only as strong as the audit table behind it. For each TFPT output the matrix records the inputs the construction may use (the two axioms and their consequences), the inputs it explicitly may not use, the number of free parameters available for absorption, the single condition that would falsify the row, and a link to run the check live. The free-knob count is the bar to clear.
