Gravity’s universality may be inherited from that law. That is a thesis under test. It is not a Supported result. Einstein remains the effective fact in a retained world. scientific_breakthrough: false.\n\nThe primitive layer is atemporal. Global relational compatibility comes first. Pruning is intended to generate ordering and, later, time. Before pruning, the work asks what structure is already forced by quantum consistency alone. We do not want to make that thesis true by choosing functions that happen to reproduce gravity. That is why the gates exist.\n\nWhat is already earned, conditionally\n\nIf an appropriate operator-valued source P is supplied, v14.03 remains certified: [P] → X* → [g] on the archived support. That is a dual response on the boundary of an admissible state space. It is not Einstein, not ADM, not a metric. Conditional on P.\n\nThe live scientific question is: where does P itself come from? Do not insert P by hand because a dual ray would then look gravity-like.\n\nOne upstream attack (Git, 12–13 Sep)\n\nv14.04 — ordinary scalar provenance cannot become the required noncentral operator. Independent local-frame covariance forces a state-independent lift into the scalar center, which is PGRL-null. The source cannot be “the graph scalar written as a matrix.”\nv15.01 — provenance and the compatibility calculation are not secretly the same parent. C^125 → C^25 support is exact; no canonical provenance operator lives there.\nv15.02 — five graph nodes and five quantum labels. Matching cardinality is not an identification. 120 inequivalent bijections. Nothing earned chooses one.\nv15.03 — perhaps a graph node is a quantum subsystem, and the site state supplies the missing direction. State context permits covariant noncentral lifts. Several lawful state functions give different source rays. Existence without uniqueness. Five nontrivial sites cannot equal the C^125 parent. NO_CERTIFIED_GRAPH_SITE_FACTORIZATION.\n\nThese are not disconnected exercises. Each gate closes a place where a gravity law could be smuggled in. Negative results are the method.\n\nNext lawful question\n\nDoes the frozen ontology contain a composition law strong enough to make the remaining source map unique? If global relational composition imposes an equation on the site response, the leftover freedom may collapse. If it does not, an operator-valued source principle is an irreducible new axiom at this layer — labeled NEW ASSUMPTION, justified before seeing gravity, never chosen because it looks Einstein-like.\n\nA 13 Sep author brief (not STATUS.md) frames leftover freedom as a spectral weight a(r) on a qubit: covariance fixes direction (ρ − ½I), not strength. Until Git lists v15.04, that formula is not current science on this wiki. Do not cite it as a frozen theorem. Live HEAD: v15.03.\n\nWhat this does not show\n\nThat gravity has been found, derived, or is inevitable.\nA unique P from Genesis Pin, five labels, or graph-site factorization.\nEinstein, ADM, stress-energy, physical time, Pillar 3.\nPermission to pick log ρ, a Pauli axis, or the map that later looks most Einstein-like.\n\nLive gates\nRepresentation gap\nSTATUS.md\nv15.03","howToCite":"Spradlin, A.
