Original claim text

THE BISOGNANO-WICHMANN DIRECTION FIREWALL (registered 2026-08-27, with audit census). BW is a theorem WITHIN an already-local Poincare-covariant QFT with suitable vacuum (wedge modular flow = boost); it does NOT generate Lorentz spacetime from an arbitrary modular flow (Poincare-covariant nets violating BW exist: Mund arXiv:hep-th/0101227, Morinelli arXiv:1703.06831). Correct order: 4D net + locality + vacuum + spectrum condition => BW => geometric modular time. NEVER: KMS/modular spectrum => Lorentz space => BW. RULE: every BW/CHM use must declare ASSUMPTION (imported; result conditional on QFT4D.OS.RECON.01-class existence) or RESULT (derived intrinsically). AUDIT CENSUS at registration: entanglement-equilibrium Einstein derivation (v323/v358/v359) = ASSUMPTION (CHM ball + BW boost are inputs; conditional on the 4D package; never citable as evidence FOR it); QG.AMB.01 redundancy (v369) = ASSUMPTION declared ('conditional on SEAM.EQUIV.01 + BW'); seam KMS normalisation chain (v259/v526, beta_angle = 2 pi) = ASSUMPTION dimension-typed (Tomita-Takesaki on 1+1D/2D seam objects, a normalisation, not a spacetime derivation); intrinsic-BW programme (v438/v440/v446, HSMI/Borchers route) = RESULT-DIRECTION, open (corpus already records the v215 circularity warning); v478 CHM-parabola flow = EVIDENCE not derivation; origin_theory 'BW downstream of the seam being a chiral net' = CONDITIONAL declared. No marker moves; binds all future uses.
