New essay: Counting Is a Discovery. Seconds Are a Decision.

true
essay
methodology
calibration
framing

A new essay on a discipline that runs underneath the whole A=1 program: keeping the counting engine free of imported constants. A number you can count from the lattice is a discovery; a number you must import is a decision — and in a sentence they look identical, which is how a chosen constant ends up restated as a prediction. The fix is structural: we do not hard-code constants.

New essay: The same-but-different motif

true
essay
methodology
abduction
framing

When you cannot see a generator directly, how do you gain confidence you have guessed the right one? A new essay on the “same but different” motif as a subjective, prior-shifting cue for the modeler — with a guard against apophenia, and three illustrations held to it.

New essay: Expressive power, not ontology

true
essay
philosophy of science
falsifiability
framing

Is the A=1 lattice “real”? That’s the wrong question. A new essay on why the realism question isn’t well-posed, why that doesn’t make the lattice unfalsifiable theology, and why conceding “not the truth” costs the program nothing while “no better than any alternative” would cost everything.

A single page tracking the operational status of every subproject, paper, and research investigation in the A=1 Discrete Causal Lattice series — grouped In Progress / Todo / Done, generated from the public project board.

dcl-core v0.2.1: exact integer A=1, and the hunt for a probability floor

true
release
dcl-core
software
delta-p-min
discrete-probability

dcl-core v0.2.1 (the v0.2.0 release plus a patch) is deposited on Zenodo and tagged on GitHub. Its integer-token engine lets us test discrete A=1 against continuous probability — and ask whether there is a minimum Δp, a floor.

New essay: answering the retrodiction charge

true
essay
methodology
retrodiction
audit

A new essay takes the retrodiction objection head-on — and answers the strong form, not the easy one: the freeze refutes post-hoc tuning, minimality bounds design-time selection, and only the novel predictions clear the rest.

New: an explorable 3D lattice model

visualization
dcl-lattice-viewer
3D

dcl-lattice-viewer v0.1.0 turns A=1 lattice state into browser-explorable 3D models — and the first one is now live on the site, a rotatable lattice you can drag, zoom, and pan in place.

New essay: is the causal lattice a sparse slice?

true
essay
geometry
dimension
optical-axis

Prompted by the new unit-cell model — the lattice uses six of the eight cube body-diagonals as causal links, and the two it omits are exactly the optical axis. An essay on reading the 3D lattice as a subset of something denser, and what would settle it.

New essay: effective descriptions and the dynamics they discard

true
essay
effective-theory
emergence
atomic-structure

A new essay asks whether some aspects of quantum mechanics are effective descriptions hiding richer behavior — the lattice reaches familiar atomic structure through coupled dynamics more involved than the effective picture it reproduces.

A one-page map of what the A=1 series proves versus what it conjectures — every claim from Papers I and II labelled Proven / Conjectured / Disconfirmed and tied to its native PASS / PART / STUB / FAIL audit tag.

New essay: what happens at high energy?

true
essay
dispersion
high-energy
inertia

A new essay answers the standard high-energy objection to discrete spacetime — on the A=1 lattice, inertia and amplitude are one conserved quantity split by the phase-rate, and that same rate caps energy per mode.

New essay: lattice birefringence

true
essay
birefringence
anisotropy

A new essay traces how directional birefringence in the A=1 lattice fell out of the Dirac derivation — an analytic prediction whose two audit rows remain open.

δp_min investigation: Phase 1+2 progress

true
investigation

Three audit rows flipped from STUB. The δp_min investigation — a Paper III v1.0 prerequisite — is next blocked on dcl_core v0.2.0 exposing a prob_floor parameter.

dcl_core v0.1.0 deposited

true
release
software

The simulation engine underlying the A=1 Discrete Causal Lattice series has its first citable release. Two engines under one import: a verbatim port of Paper I’s continuous-amplitude formulation, and a new integer-token reimplementation that enforces A=1 by integer arithmetic — no float renormalisation in the core invariant.

Paper II at v1.01 — a metadata-only release of the Lie-algebra study characterising the Standard Model gauge group SU(3) × SU(2) × U(1) as a factor-product projection of the A=1 lattice’s symmetry algebra: containment, not equality.
