How to kill TFPT.

A theory that cannot fail explains nothing. This page lists every output of the TFPT 4.5 series 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.

Per-area kill criteria

Each output has a single sufficient kill condition

Carrier theorem, joint discrete solve, electromagnetic closure, strong-CP, Higgs sector, axion haloscope, cosmic birefringence, EHT residual intercept, and the cosmology comparison surface — each row is sufficient on its own to falsify the construction.

Carrier theorem

Paper 2
Theorem-level kill

The 3+2 carrier split is not derivable without importing Standard-Model representation data — i.e. dim E_+ = 2 or dim E_- = 3 turn out to require an SM-side input rather than the compact Higgs index and the primitive Yukawa type.

(dimE,dimE+)=(3,2) requires an SM-side import(\dim E_-,\dim E_+) = (3,2) \text{ requires an SM-side import}

Joint discrete solve

Papers 1, 2
Theorem-level kill

An alternative admissible discrete solution survives all primitive constraints (boundary kernel, Higgs index, primitive Yukawa, seam normalization). The closed branch would no longer be unique.

#ddisc>1\#\,d^\star_{\mathrm{disc}} > 1

Electromagnetic closure

Paper 3
Bridge readout kill

The carrier-form closure equation F_U(1)(α) = 0 fails to admit a unique positive root, or the root differs from CODATA 2022 by more than the declared interface uncertainty (currently ≈ 4 × 10⁻⁸ in α⁻¹).

FU(1)(α)=0 has no positive root, or α1αCODATA1>ΔF_{U(1)}(\alpha_\star)=0 \text{ has no positive root, or }|\alpha_\star^{-1} - \alpha^{-1}_{\mathrm{CODATA}}| > \Delta

Strong CP

Paper 4
Theorem-level kill

A stable nonzero hadronic EDM signal under the declared comparison convention. The admissibility/determinant-line argument forces θ_eff = 0 at theorem level, so any robust EDM detection kills the construction.

θeff0    construction killed\theta_{\mathrm{eff}} \neq 0 \;\Rightarrow\; \text{construction killed}

Higgs sector

Paper 2 → 3
Structural kill

Robust discovery of a second light seam-even Higgs doublet. The compact bosonic index forces N_Φ = 1; an additional doublet kills the determinant class.

NΦ=1 (forced by index) no second light doubletN_\Phi = 1 \text{ (forced by index) } \Rightarrow \text{no second light doublet}

Axion haloscope

Paper 6
Downstream kill

Calibrated haloscope exclusion of the 15.764 GHz ± 50 MHz window at the coupled sensitivity. A clean exclusion of the predicted band kills the cosmology readout chain.

νa[15.714,15.814]GHz\nu_a \notin [15.714, 15.814]\,\mathrm{GHz}

Cosmic birefringence β

Paper 3 (response)
Bridge readout kill

Externally calibrated cosmic-rotation analysis statistically consistent with β = 0 within ±0.05° (without EB self-nulling). Determinant-line response would not be in the data.

β=0±0.05 at declared confidence\beta = 0 \pm 0.05^\circ \text{ at declared confidence}

EHT achromatic intercept

Paper 3 → standalone
Downstream kill

Calibrated achromatic residual χ₀^res(x) = χ₀^obs − χ₀^GRMHD statistically consistent with zero across the horizon-scale image, or no 1/r² profile, or no E·B sign flip, or measurable λ² dependence.

χ0res0 after honest GRMHD subtraction\chi_0^{\mathrm{res}} \equiv 0 \text{ after honest GRMHD subtraction}

Cosmology comparison

Paper 6
Downstream kill

Robust inconsistency between the closed-branch readouts (Λ_IR, η_B, Σ m_ν, Ω_b) and the comparison data under the declared convention, beyond stated interface uncertainty.

Closed-branch rowdeclared comparison interval\text{Closed-branch row} \notin \text{declared comparison interval}

Status discipline

Cross-cutting
Structural kill

An assumption first becomes invisible — i.e. an empirical input enters the proof chain without being declared as such, or a downstream comparison feeds back into the primitive branch.

No-knobs audit

Inputs allowed, inputs forbidden, free knobs

A claim of 'no fitted constants' is only as strong as the audit table behind it. For each TFPT output, the table below records the inputs the construction may use, the inputs it explicitly may not use, and the number of free parameters available for absorption. The free-knob count is the bar to clear.

Reading rule.For every row, the output value must be reproducible from the “allowed inputs” alone — without touching the “forbidden inputs”. The free-knob count is the number of parameters the theory may adjust to land on the listed value. Any row where this count exceeds zero is treated as a fit, not a prediction.
