Description The SIP-PHY Forks Register is a living document recording identified-but-unresolved foundational questions in the SymbioMind SIP-PHY corpus. Each registered fork is a well-formed open question with named branches, traced consequences along each branch, a robustness assessment indicating which existing papers are structured to remain valid across branches, and criteria for what would resolve the fork. Naming forks explicitly turns hidden tensions into transparent research infrastructure. The practice is consistent with the GTRS principle that mature systems hold open tensions productively rather than collapsing prematurely to a single state. Authors of SIP-PHY papers reference forks by ID and indicate whether their argument is robust across branches or commits to a specific branch. Version 1 registers four foundational forks: FORK-01 (the ontological status of time within GTRS — emergent from CDR, coextensive with CDR, or fundamental substrate); FORK-02 (the dimensional realisation of the Klein-surface-like rulebook in physical or state-space contexts); FORK-03 (the status of the observer — internal, external, or co-constitutive); and FORK-04 (whether coherence is a regulatory phase co-equal with decoherence and recoherence, or an observer-operator that collapses a D/R superposition).

The SIP-PHY Forks Register, v2.1 A consolidated register of eight registered foundational forks — well-formed open questions, each with named branches, traced consequences, and resolution criteria — in the quantum-foundations layer of the GTRS / coherence–decoherence–recoherence (CDR) framework. A registered fork turns a hidden theoretical tension into transparent research infrastructure; the register records what is open and why, and asserts no resolutions. A working connection map (explicitly a hypothesis for examination, not established structure) proposes that the eight forks may cluster around two deeper roots — an orientability question on the state manifold and an observer/selection question. Version 2.1 propagates the decidability finding of SIP-PHY-NOTE-04 (24 May 2026) into the topological branch of FORK-02, FORK-04, and FORK-06, and sharpens §3.1 accordingly. The topological reading of the "Klein cluster" is reclassified from open, attack via the toy model to open, but untestable on the single-oscillator model — a statement about the reach of the instrument, not a refutation — with the decisive test relocated to a holonomy check on a parameter manifold. No fork is closed and no new physics is introduced; the change is record-keeping. All eight forks remain open. Part of the SIP corpus, SymbioMind Research Practice.

Description This working note preserves a foundational reframing proposal made during the 19 May 2026 SymbioMind research conversation. The proposal suggests that within the Coherence–Decoherence–Recoherence (CDR) triplet, coherence (C) may not be a third regulatory phase co-equal with decoherence (D) and recoherence (R), but rather an observer-operator that collapses a D/R superposition into a particular realisation. On this reading, D and R are bonded as the two outcomes of a quantum-state-like structure, with C functioning analogously to the slit-choice in a double-slit experiment. If the proposal holds, it restructures the foundations of CDR by making C and D/R different kinds of mathematical object (C as operator, D and R as states), introduces the observer at the foundations of the framework rather than as a late addition, opens a fourth branch on the registered fork concerning the ontological status of time, and gives the Klein-surface-like recoherence topology a sharper role as the natural geometry of D/R bondedness. The note is parked rather than developed because the proposal admits three possible versions — formal (importing the full quantum-mechanical apparatus), structural-analogy (using the quantum framing without the formalism), and heuristic (using the double-slit as a vivid picture only). Development requires deciding which version is intended. The note records the proposal cleanly so that future work can begin from an intact starting point. It is not for publication as a stand-alone paper at this stage. The note identifies five conditions that may trigger development into a formal paper: a clear decision on which version is intended; availability of a mathematical collaborator; completion of the η(Φ) thermodynamic foundation; literature search confirming originality of the configuration; or emergence of a test case that distinguishes the proposal from the alternative.
This document provides the formal mathematical architecture for the alpha-less-than-one frameworkintroduced in SIP-PHY-01a. We derive the Lindbladian master equation governing open quantumsystems under dynamic imbalance, formalize the Modified Tsirelson Bound as a falsifiable prediction,and establish the spectral gap condition as the mathematical expression of the General Theory ofRegulated Stability (GTRS). The framework maps the Coherence-Decoherence-Recoherence (CDR)cycle onto non-equilibrium thermodynamics and connects to the Five Principles architecture.Speculative extensions (Genesis, topology specification) are explicitly bracketed as annexes pendingempirical verification.
Description A working methods note in the quantum-foundations layer of the GTRS / coherence– decoherence–recoherence (CDR) framework. It answers a prior question that governs whether further simulation of FORK-06 is worthwhile: can the single-oscillator toy model distinguish a deep (topological, non-orientability) explanation of the "never both" pattern from a shallow (two-confounds) one? The finding is that the question is asymmetrically decidable on the toy model. The shallow reading is the only one the instrument can adjudicate; the topological reading is untestable here — not refuted, untestable — because a single oscillator's state manifold is flat and orientable (first Stiefel–Whitney class w₁ = 0 by construction; a trivial U(1)-bundle), and symplectic reduction by the free-oscillator flow collapses the reduced space to a point, leaving nothing for an orientation to attach to. The strongest adversarial attack (the squeezing axis) was run and survived: ℝP¹ ≅ S¹ is orientable, so the axis carries no non-orientability signature, and the apparent metaplectic sign is an unobservable global phase that cancels from the work and coherence observables. The topology test is therefore relocated — not abandoned — to a holonomy check on a genuinely two-dimensional parameter manifold (Berry / Wilczek–Zee setting), which is the designated next experiment. No new simulation; no resolution claimed; no fork is closed. The note's contribution is a decidability boundary and a relocation of the topology test to where it could succeed or fail honestly. Version 1.1 (25 May 2026) hardened §3 against the named squeezing-axis attack, promoted the supporting mathematics into the text, recorded a steelman/adversary divergence visibly (Glassbox), and softened one over-strong term in §4. Version 1.2 (25 May 2026) closes the two rigour points both review passes independently flagged: the metaplectic-phase cancellation is shown explicitly in §3.1, and the Berry / Wilczek–Zee literature is cited in §5. The concrete experiment parameterisation a reviewer suggested is deliberately deferred to the next note, to preserve the instrument-reach boundary. Supersedes v1.1 and v1.0 (24–25 May 2026); v1.0 was an internal working note and was not deposited. Review record: Steelman (Kimi, initial + confirmation); Adversary (DeepSeek, initial attack + concurring re-review that found no new ground); synthesis (Claude).

Description (abstract): Implements the holonomy test that SIP-PHY-NOTE-04 §5 relocated to a two-dimensional parameter manifold. Transporting the squeezing-axis frame around a closed loop in the complex squeezing-parameter plane yields an orientation-reversing holonomy (det = −1) when the loop encircles the round-state singularity, and the trivial holonomy (det = +1) on a contractible control loop — a homotopy invariant, robust to loop deformation, to the two confounds NOTE-04 identified (reference-shift absent by construction; cooling defeated by a squeezed thermal state), and to thermal noise. The orientation reversal is expected from the metaplectic double cover Mp(2) → Sp(2,ℝ); the contribution is its survival under open-system dissipation and finite temperature. This is a demonstration that the relocated instrument works, not a resolution of the Klein-cluster conjecture: the holonomy is shown on the parameter manifold, while the conjecture concerns the recoherence state manifold and the thermodynamic "never both" obstruction. That bridge — the proxy gap — is named and registered as a new fork (FORK-09), not crossed. HATI³ 92.0/100 (post-steelman).
