The brief
What it
does.
- Maintains a covariant architecture, claim ledger, and gate-based research workflow so assumptions, derivations, conditional routes, and rejected arguments remain distinct.
- Re-tests the model’s proposed mechanisms and numerical predictions in a declared order rather than treating an attractive result as a finished theory.
- Publishes the working record alongside code, manuscripts, archival releases, and reproduction material so the trail can be inspected by other people.
Retrospective
Still
becoming.
ITSM is deliberately presented as a recovery program, not as a completed or validated cosmology. The current branch preserves the model’s identity while reopening mechanisms and predictions behind explicit scientific gates. The useful retrospective is therefore also a record of what did not survive scrutiny, what remains conditional, and what still has to be derived.
