The restricted-bridge program is where the work is most theorem-shaped and most careful. Theorem Packet v27 freezes a hierarchy: a universal compact / admissibility / local-residual layer, then a restricted bridge layer whose strongest draft is a covariance–variance coupling with a robust slope band and an explicit empirical validity region.

a₀ and b₀ arise from baseline residual geometry; ε is controlled by gain drift, response curvature, and innovation scale. The operational default is a utility-maximizing stack; a balanced operating point is kept only as a softer interpretive alternative.

Bridge-closure status

The consolidated status note no longer treats the bridge as a loose hypothesis. It reports a hierarchical selector (not a flat one), real local seam structure, strong family and perturbation transfer, and a lower weak ladder from nested thresholding of a normalized retained-envelope variable.

Restricted

A retained-state bridge built from normalized residual-envelope coordinates supports a low-complexity hierarchical selector with real local seam structure, strong family and perturbation transfer, renormalizable scale behavior, and a lower weak ladder. This is the strongest admissible bridge claim — not TOE closure.

V395 → V421 survival law

A parallel compression: A_t = M_t × R_t was not enough. Immediate recovery did not predict delayed collapse or post-exit fidelity, forcing lineage addressability L_t and the recursive law S_t = M_t × R_t × L_t. V421 was a blinded generalization test (new topology, noise, fracture; no coefficient retuning). Greedy minimizers still win short-term bad rate; the retained law minimized harm, false exit, reclosure, lineage destruction, and long-horizon fidelity collapse.

Restricted

V421 blinded generalization: new topology, noise, and fracture; no coefficient retuning. Python, results, and data were posted with the figure.
