Abstract

This note treats general relativity not as a cosmological claim about the world, but as a descriptive protocol for stabilizing motion-identification under conditions where direct crossing of a generative center is unavailable. No ontological, causal, or evaluative claims are made.Finalized Descriptive Text: * Scope: This note treats general relativity as a descriptive protocol, not a cosmological claim. * Core Move: The statement “motion follows geodesics in curved spacetime” is read as a labeling operation that identifies an apparent path under fixed measurement schemes. * Non-closure Premise: The protocol does not eliminate residual discrepancy (drift) but re-identifies it periodically to maintain description coherence. * Geodesic as Appearance: A “geodesic” is the outcome of repeatedly measuring with a fixed ruler while the underlying generative update never closes. * 0-band Passage (Rapture): Moments of index transitions are relabeling events that prevent collapse from being recorded, allowing the system to “fall without falling.” * Pendulum Analogy: Similar to a pendulum clock, the protocol cancels accumulated offset by periodic re-identification, conserving identifiability rather than motion. * Block Universe Neutrality: The protocol remains agnostic toward block-universe ontology, bundling appearances without commitment to global existence claims. * Conclusion: General relativity is a technical protocol that binds apparent motion by labeling stable paths, maintaining coherence under non-closure.Audit Tags (Non-normative): * Closure handling: B (Weak-closure) * External viability: Yes * Positioning: Descriptive protocol / Identification technique
