Ontological Resolution Theory (ORT) Canon

This deposition provides the canonical reference for Ontological Resolution Theory (ORT), Version 2.0.1. ORT formalizes a multi-observer construction of operational reality via an explicit ontological stack \Abs→\Prot(\Zed)→\Universe→\Reality\Abs→\Prot(\Zed)→\Universe→\Reality, where the Universe is defined as a quotient (address space) induced by protocol-level indistinguishability and Reality is defined as a consensus slice via pullback intersections of admissible records. Canon v2.0.1 includes: (i) Pair Law (relational minimality) with logical orthogonality clarification; (ii) Conjugate Consensus classification; (iii) subtraction–destructive interference isomorphism; (iv) fixed-point resolution of the apparent circularity \Zed↔\Prot(\Zed)\Zed↔\Prot(\Zed); (v) a 5D archival framework for gravitationally coupled, non-gauge-coupled degrees of freedom (archival sector) and associated null direct-detection statements; (vi) the Finite-Rank Quantum Mechanics (FRQ) module; and (vii) falsification criteria and open problems.
