Dynamical Information Geometry (DIG): No-Derivation Claim and Scope Delimitation

Preprint: This work is a preprint, has not undergone peer review, and is made publicly available to establish a public scientific record. This document (“DIG No-Derivation Claim and Scope Delimitation”) formally states and justifies the No-Derivation Claim associated with Dynamical Information Geometry (DIG). It specifies which forms of derivation, reconstruction, and explanatory ambition are explicitly excluded by the DIG framework, including the derivation of microscopic dynamics, interaction models, gauge structures, spacetime geometry, or ontological state spaces. The document operates at a pre-field-theoretic level and clarifies that DIG yields categorical, audit-fixed operational statements based on Twin-Test outcomes, rather than constructive reconstructions of effective theories. No new observables, protocols, decision rules, experimental results, or physical claims are introduced.Its sole purpose is to delineate the explanatory boundary of DIG, prevent category errors in interpretation, and distinguish prohibited reconstruction claims from admissible minimal structural necessity statements that follow logically from consistent PASS/FAIL classifications. This note provides the logical transition between normative interpretation rules and subsequent structural analyses, without introducing ontological commitments, infrared assumptions, or model-dependent explanatory content.
