Paper I Current 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.

Paper II Author-released preprint

The Universal Local de Sitter Anomaly Channel Is Uniquely Type A

Release Version 2.0, published 5 August 2026. Zenodo DOI 10.5281/zenodo.21809544 (this release) · 10.5281/zenodo.20555546 (all versions).
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.
