File guide and reading routes

For a mathematical reader

1. Read the root card and CLAIMS_AND_SCOPE.md to identify the exact endpoint problem and remaining gaps.
2. Read the manuscript abstract and introduction, then the elementary depth argument and universal metric limit.
3. For the v9 focus, read noncentral_synthesis.tex, normal_holonomy.tex, regular_synthesis.tex, and orbitopic_synthesis.tex in SANCTUM-0/tex/.
4. Compare R101–R108 in SANCTUM-0/theorem_status.json with the linked proof labels and audit files.
5. Review the claimed physical recovery separately from the auxiliary source computations.

For a computational reader

File or folder	Role
SANCTUM-0/pyproject.toml	Package metadata; experiments dependency extra
SANCTUM-0/src/caelq_sig/tensor.py and lie.py	Exact tensor/Lie arithmetic
SANCTUM-0/src/caelq_sig/noncentral_carrier.py	Rational source certificates and optional complete tensor development
SANCTUM-0/src/caelq_sig/polynomial_curvature.py	Exact Bernstein/Taylor curvature certificate
SANCTUM-0/examples/verify_noncentral_carrier.py	Both rational candidates; actual flags documented in reproduction guide
SANCTUM-0/experiments/circle13_audit.py	Symbolic restricted rank-13 audit
SANCTUM-0/tests/	Existing implementation tests
SANCTUM-0/data/	Exact certificates, numerical diagnostics, historical execution receipts

The core uses exact rational arithmetic where declared. Lengths can involve radicals and rational enclosures. Numerical displays should be interpreted using their parent certificate or analytic proof.

Important version-9 data

Path under SANCTUM-0/data/	Interpretation
rational_noncentral_carrier_v9_75.json	Fixed rational 75-lower-edge source candidate
rational_noncentral_carrier_v9_147.json	Fixed rational strongest source candidate
noncentral_carrier_v9_full_tensor_75.json	Retained full 300-control endpoint execution receipt
noncentral_carrier_v9_full_tensor_147.json	Retained full 588-control endpoint execution receipt
noncentral_carrier_v9_verification.json	Source/moment/cost certificate results
unit_test_log_v9.txt	Original v9 test transcript
unit_test_verification_v9.json	Original frozen test verification record
static_verification_v9.json	Original source/label/registry static checks
v9_numerical_search_status.json	Local search diagnostics, including failed/infeasible runs

The original verification and implementation reports give additional context for these execution receipts and their runtimes.

Audits and provenance

SANCTUM-0/docs/ preserves named historical audits from several versions. Their version labels and old working-directory paths are historical evidence, not instructions to access those paths now. References to other experimental research describe provenance; those archives are not execution dependencies.

provenance/ holds this preparation's fresh computational receipt, the original manifest/README, exact comparison data, and an inventory. original/ contains the unchanged input ZIP. Its internal duplicate case variants are intentionally retained inside the immutable ZIP; use the clean SANCTUM-0/ folder for cross-platform work.
