Scope, ownership and unresolved questions

Preserved research record. This public derivative removes local-only path links; scientific wording and original status claims remain historical. Internal AI reviews are not external peer review. Original SHA-256: a1e300ebd150e41cb154349f14ebde0c7f2a013bf01acc62dca611800129a92f.

Claims and uniqueness — Process Closure and Restricted Conversion in a Chain-Ring Modal Model

Canonical owner: PC — Chain Ring Process Semantics (Technical Companion).

Stage / recommended form: companion / Retain separate substantial technical companion to P01.

Unique results or bounded research targets

Shared or excluded from novelty

P01 owns general static chain-ring classification, orbit coding and raw teleportation. Generalized field-modal processes, local-ring Smith/filter algebra and rank arguments have classical antecedents. BR owns the symbolic support/enrichment construction.

Corrections and excluded claims

Binary completion changes operations; it does not repair unchanged nonzero-A independence. Unqualified no-activation fails when resolved phase disposal is permitted. Forgetting outcomes gives a mixed modal state.

Evidence and locators

Current source: 01_SOURCE_PACKAGE_FROM_PORTFOLIO_20260921/technical_companion_20260920/main.tex. Line ranges below refer to the preserved source text after normalizing newline sequences for inspection; theorem labels/section titles are authoritative locators.

File and ZIP-member SHA-256, titles/objectives and section anchors are in the complete evidence inventory. The pairwise matrix specifies ownership, treatment and residual content for every project pair.

Work still required

Link exact model contracts into P01 and later phase revisions; specialist review of conversion/effect restrictions and disposal distinction; retain companion until a separate new theorem supports promotion.

Collapsing into P01 would obscure substantial corrections and a different process model. Conversely, current priority evidence does not support marketing it as another independent research paper.
