Six-Field: An Enforced Architectural Framework for Ontology-First Physics

The novelty of Six-Field lies not in proposing a new substrate, but in defining a constitution and enforcement discipline that constrain explanation itself, prior to laws, models, or equations. We contrast this architectural stance with prevailing substrate approaches and outline its implications for paradox resolution, theory evaluation, and future physics research. A growing body of contemporary work proposes that spacetime and physical law are emergent from a deeper substrate. While these approaches differ in mechanism and interpretation, most retain a law-first structure: governing principles are postulated, and ontology is inferred downstream. This paper argues that Six-Field represents a distinct category. It is not another substrate theory, but an enforced architectural framework that fixes ontology prior to laws and introduces a standard by which physical claims are admitted or rejected before model construction.
