FRAMOR Unified Field Framework – Metric–Affine Quantum Thermodynamic Unification (MAQTU) — v2.3 Document Set

This v2.3 release presents FRAMOR as a preliminary microframework that defines the structural base layer of the FRAMOR Unified Field Framework. It organizes the geometric, modulation and thermodynamic components into a coherent layered architecture suitable for theoretical development and analogue-gravity experimentation. At the core of this document set lies the FRAMOR Foundations preprint (v1.0, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18154594), which establishes the microtheoretical and variational base upon which the unified-field and phenomenological layers are built. The FRAMOR Unified Field Framework – Metric-Affine Quantum Thermodynamic Unification (MAQTU) is a layered geometric and thermodynamic framework where physical structure is treated as modular, coherence-driven, and operationally testable. Spacetime is modeled as a four-dimensional manifold equipped with a general affine “Invection” connection S^lambda_(mu nu). Its torsion (T^lambda_(mu nu)) and non-metricity (Q_(lambda mu nu)) generate the INT-curvature tensor I^lambda_(rho mu nu). An Anisotropic Modulation Metric Level (AMML) is introduced through a position-dependent effective Planck factor h_eff(x), defining the rescaled metric: Sigma_(mu nu)(x) = h_eff(x)^(-1) * g_(mu nu)(x) so that the Lorentzian metric g_(mu nu) keeps its shape while its scale is modulated by invectional degrees of freedom. In suitable limits, traces of torsion and non-metricity combine into a vector field V_mu with U(1)-type behavior, and antisymmetric INT-curvature contractions acquire Maxwell-like structure, producing an effective GR + U(1) sector. On the thermodynamic side, FRAMOR introduces the effective invection content S_eff[rho; x] and the informational measure I_eff[rho]. These enter the finite-time Landauer guard: Sdot_total = (Edot / T) - k_B * Idot >= 0 which bounds informational rates using energy flow, temperature, and invection-dependent corrections. This links the unified-field sector directly to analogue-gravity systems and to BEC-based Landauer channels. The v2.3 FRAMOR Document Set includes: 1. Framework Preprint (v2.2) – main unified-field formulation and full geometry-to-experiment FRAMOR stack. 2. Experimental Analogues and BEC Pathway (v2.3) – ISS/FLEX transport analogue and proposed BEC experiment implementing the FRAMOR-corrected Landauer bound. 3. Technical Appendix (v2.1) – metric-affine variational structure and field equations. 4. Landauer / BEC Channel Paper (v2.1) – thermodynamic and information-theoretic analysis of BEC Landauer channels and IG/J performance metrics. 5. BEC Simulation Note (v2.1) – surrogate modelling and control strategies (MPC) for laboratory BEC systems. 6. Context Note: Emergent Time (v2.1) – conceptual and bibliographic background situating FRAMOR within emergent-time approaches. 7. README – navigation and recommended reading order. This v2.3 release supersedes the earlier “platform” terminology and presents FRAMOR as a unified field framework suitable for both theoretical development and experimental exploration.
