Shadow Theory

Paper index

The seven canonical papers establish the source–readout foundation. The follow-on Sealed or Leaky paper quantifies missing information and operational access. The Quantum Measurement programme develops its own explicit physical constitutions, with a complete monograph and two companion papers. The consciousness monograph develops SPC-2 in the revised edition of 28 October 2026, integrating its later programme and affirmative AI argument. Three companion papers examine relational boundaries, effective interface learning and the identification of binary realizations. Further publications develop conscious scaffolding, bounded agency and reflective AI alignment. Superseded canonical versions are the June 2026 six-paper stack the current sequence replaced. Historical papers are the earlier Everything Equation / Tier-0 era archive, retained for the record and superseded as authority.

Preserved in reality. Accessible to whom?

Bell-certified bounds quantify what an initial classical readout leaves unresolved. Reversible constructions separate information preservation from access. Finite-resource witnesses specify when hidden distinctions can reach a retained record.

The complete argument is on the site: all statements, proofs, equations, calculations and references, with the assumptions that make each result hold.

Quantum Measurement & Born Rule

Three complete, browser-readable publications. The monograph integrates the programme; each companion preserves its own proof sequence and publication provenance.

Experienced Temporal Passage

The retained note, live sound and anticipated continuation occupy different roles in one ongoing activity. The complete argument develops temporal experience without an additional moving present.

When AI Learns to Mislead

Trustworthy alignment requires truth to remain consequential when apparent success rewards a false account. Development, retained goals and practical authority are examined through evidence and discriminating tests.

Non-Source Projection and Internal Identifiability

Integrates the sequence into the non-source projection theorem: an essential non-gauge distinction inside a readout fiber proves non-source projection for the stated model and target, with exact deterministic and statistical identifiability results.

Branch papers

Branch results downstream of the canonical sequence, each published as its own record with declared assumptions, methods, results, and research domain.

Superseded canonical versions

The June 2026 six-paper canonical stack, replaced on 2026-07-15 by the current seven-paper sequence. These records remain published on Zenodo as part of the programme's publication history, but they are no longer current authority and their architecture is not carried forward.

Historical archive

86 records from the earlier programme era. These remain publicly available on Zenodo, but they are historical background and branch development traces. Where they conflict with Papers 1–7, the canonical sequence controls.
