Research Contracts for the Two Open Gates
(U_wall) the parabolic flavor wall-selection · (G_metric) the full QG measure
After the compiler closure the entire residual is Rest = (U_wall) ⊕ (G_metric) ⊕ (F_frontier). This note turns the two genuine research gates into contracts: a numbered chain of lemmas, the single theorem that closes each gate, and — for every step — whether it is machine-certifiable today. F_frontier is not a gate. Priority: (U_wall) first (finite, algebraic, falsifiable), then (G_metric) (deep analytic programme).
- ›The closed compiler and the two named residual gates from the introduction's status card.
- ›Contract 1 (U_wall) — now complete: the quark ratios are closed (Readout Rigidity) and the absolute amplitude U_point reduces to one overall scale v_geo (ratios + Grand Mass Volume) — the same dimensionful anchor as gravity's 1/G. The two [A] anchors collapse to one.
- ›Contract 2 (G_metric): IR tier closed under RP + gap (Decoupling Theorem, Δ_eff = 1.648 > 0); the ambient measure G6 is holographically reduced to a finite seam-boundary measure that is the rigorously-constructed (E₈)₁ lattice net (c = 8 = 5 + 3, conformal embedding (D₅)₁×(A₃)₁, coset c = 0) — so G6 is imported into existing RCFT/conformal-net rigor, not built anew.
- ›The quark ratio c_u/c_d = 55/117 is closed (Readout Rigidity); the '11' is the Pascal sum 16 − g_car.
- ›U_point is not a free transcendental input but the single overall scale v_geo (shared with 1/G); the strict claim is only that one dimensionful anchor remains.
- ›The ambient boundary projective measure (G6) is reduced but not closed; it blocks certification as a strict physical TOE, but its absence does not affect the bounded IR claim.
- ›Each contract names its closing theorem and certifiability; fails if a lemma certified [F] does not in fact machine-check, or if the closing theorem is asserted before its chain completes.

Contract 1 — (U_wall), the flavor wall
The goal is to select the one D₄-symmetric realisation on the family curve. The selectors det R = 8 and Spec(Q₊) = {1,2,3} are read off the bundle; the quark ratio is closed by Readout Rigidity, leaving only the absolute amplitude scale.
Theorem U — the four-way split
The remaining flavor bridge splits into four pieces: unitarity (polystable ⇒ unitary, finite linear algebra), the H2 readoff, the Λ² readout rigidity, and U_point (the full amplitude normalisation) — which now reduces to the single overall scale v_geo (the same anchor as 1/G). Gate 1 is complete.
Contract 2 — (G_metric), the QG measure
The goal is the reflection-positive projective-limit measure over the diffeomorphism-quotiented metric sector. G2 (Seeley–DeWitt R + R²) and G5 (gap dominance, Decoupling Theorem) are certified; the projective limit G6 is now holographically reduced — because the seam is a finite causal boundary, the bulk measure is reconstructed from a finite seam-boundary (Calderón) measure, so G6 is a boundary projective limit (conditional on RP + tightness), not a diffuse bulk problem.
Certifiability and order
(U_wall) is finite, algebraic and falsifiable today; (G_metric) is a deep analytic programme. The recommended order freezes the frontier status in between.
