Established within the stated premises
Complete answers determine the minimal process quotient
finding:future-equivalence-minimizes-declared-answer-process
For a fixed experiment alphabet and complete answer functional r, u~v exactly when r(uw)=r(vw) for every allowed continuation w. The quotient is the minimal distinguishable process state relative to those answers; by itself it yields neither complex amplitudes, the Born rule, continuous time, a metric, nor E8.
Scope: Applies exactly relative to the declared experiment alphabet and complete answer functional; no absolute ontology or physical TFPT source claim.
Required premises and original source excerpts
- Declared complete answer functional
A fixed set of allowed experiments and the answer functional r for every finite experiment sequence are additional operational inputs; they define the future quotient only relative to that experiment alphabet.
