29-Schism Physics Foundations Synthesis

Overview

A systematic synthesis of 29 unresolved schisms in physics foundations, organized into a five-layer framework. The schisms are traced to a common root cause — the tension between the "view from nowhere" and the "view from within" — and resolved via a self-referential calibration framework centered on a Bootstrap Theorem.

Contents

• paper.md — Main synthesis paper (source markdown)

Key Components

1. 29-Schism Taxonomy — 5-layer framework (Mathematical Substrate → Ontology → Quantum/Classical → Spacetime → Epistemology)
2. Root Cause Analysis — View from Nowhere vs. View from Within
3. Bootstrap Theorem — Calibration fixed point under ultrametric valuation
4. Mathematical Machinery — Ultrametric geometry, Bruhat-Tits trees, Monna map, Syntactic Token Calculus
5. Schism-by-Schism Resolution Mapping
6. Falsifiable Predictions — CMB log-periodicity, ZBW ultrametric structure, adelic QEC, joule-per-solution metric
7. Calibration Register — Dated prediction check entries
8. External Literature Gap Analysis — arXiv (72 results), Semantic Scholar (17 results), QNFO KG (~130 papers)
