A Finite-QEC Substrate Program for Particle Physics and Cosmology: Current Canon and Audit Methodology

Entry-point overview of a six-paper series in which particle physics and cosmology are modelled as consequences of a quantum-error-correcting register geometry rather than as fields on a pre-assumed continuum. Summarises the current canon under an explicit audit methodology — every claim classified as locked, computed, conditional, retired, or open, with a standing retraction ledger. Headline themes: recovery of Standard-Model-like matter structure from an eight-bit local code; the 28 = 2×14 service clock; a proton-primary route predicting G, the Planck mass, and H0; the dynamic dark-energy law w(a) = -1 + a/28; a spectral-index route to ns = 27/28; and a crystallisation/debris dark sector. The paper states its standing falsification targets, and cites the six companion preprints (DOIs 10.5281/zenodo.20672042, .20671858, .20671860, .20671862, .20671864, .20677639) that carry the sector-by-sector detail. Version 5.0. Relativity-section photon paragraph reconciled to the companion's v3: the photon is the Gauss-projected SC-Maxwell mode, Lorentz-invariant at accessible energies, with the high-energy substrate cutoff as the open residual.
