The RP-Series: Structural Overview and Axiomatic Progression (RP0–RP21)
Beckford, Woodrow
Abstract
This wrapper paper provides a high-level overview of the RP-series (RP0–RP21), summarizing the logical structure, motivation, and progression of the axioms. It is intended as an orientation guide for readers, clarifying how the axioms build from a minimal substrate and asymmetric relations to irreversible δ-transitions, coarse-graining, relaxation dynamics, and the emergence of classical time. The wrapper does not replace the technical content of the RP papers; it offers conceptual summaries only, and readers should consult the individual RP manuscripts for complete definitions, derivations, and formal arguments. The wrapper establishes the context and roadmap for the full Relaxation–Measurement framework.
