A Clifford–Thomas Runtime with Inter-Grade Transport and Split-Time Relaxation

P01 of a modular research program on multivector thermodynamic runtimes. This preprint introduces a Clifford-Thomas runtime architecture with a theoretical latent state in Cl_{n,0}, a fixed practical slice in Cl_{3,0}, explicit inter-grade transport, a structural free-energy ansatz F = E - T H, and split-time dynamics. It is presented as a computationally testable runtime, not as a claim of fundamental physics. The release includes:- the paper PDF- the LaTeX source- bibliography- a validation manifest- reproducibility notes Validation snapshot used by the paper:- date: 2026-03-13- environment: new-stack- full extracted runtime suite: 55 passed- P01 structural subset: 32 passed This release should be read as a bounded v0.1 research note for the runtime core, with continuous gamma-matrix closure, quantization, and broader unification deferred to later papers.
