Paper ICurrent release
A compact \(S^4\) anomaly channel for the cosmological constant
Current manuscript: full technical version v1.0 (39 pages, including Appendices A-E) Scope: the complete compact-response construction, numerical construction, global-source map, correction budget and tests.
This paper separates theorem-level results, proposed dynamics, selected channel conditions and open calculations. The website explains the argument; the paper contains the technical record.

Audit this paper Paper I is published
as a linked research object. Read the PDF for the complete argument, or inspect the
controlled structure underneath it: the claim register shows the status, dependencies
and downstream consequences of each substantive claim; the calculation record
reproduces the numerical chain; the reference record states what each source supports;
and the version record preserves changes and corrections.

Scope Standalone theorem: the parity-even local
logarithmic anomaly response common to the closed de Sitter sphere and the round
static-patch horizon has a one-dimensional image, with the type-A coefficient as its
unique microscopic coordinate. The cosmological-constant construction is one
application; the cosmological-constant paper’s numerical chain does not depend on this paper.
Audit this paper Paper II is published
with the same audit structure. Its theorem-level result resolves to a stable claim
record with its exact scope, dependencies, foundations and limits; the
cosmological-constant construction is one application of the matter-side result.

Protected Euler response on compact conformally flat geometry
The extraction theorem is the most firmly established technical result in the programme: it relies only on standard curved-background renormalisation and holds independently of the proposed dynamics. It identifies the unique nonzero scheme-independent matter datum within the stated local linear constant-Weyl response class.
