Author’s Notes: Scope and Reader Guide
Author’s Notes: Scope and Reader Guide
Morton's Guide exists to provide a clear, navigable overview of the Axis Model research program as it has grown into a multi-paper theoretical suite. Each manuscript is archived independently on Zenodo and is intended to stand on its own for technical review. This site is a reader-facing map that helps the suite be read as a connected body of work rather than as isolated PDFs.
This site does not replace the primary papers and does not introduce new claims beyond what is already documented. Its function is practical:
The Axis Model is developed across multiple focused papers, each addressing a specific sector (foundational framework, Standard Model fermion sector, gauge structure and normalization, quantum consistency, and emergent-gravity construction and quantification). MortonsGuide provides a high-level view of how these components relate and where key definitions, results, and computational artifacts originate.
Each paper has a deliberately limited scope. Some papers define mechanisms, others establish normalization and matching interfaces, others quantify phenomenology, and others address quantum consistency and renormalization. No single manuscript is intended to carry the full conceptual or empirical burden of the program. MortonsGuide is structured to reduce misreading by making paper boundaries and dependencies explicit at the level of topics and deliverables.
Different readers will want different entry points. Some will start with empirical predictions, others with coupling normalization and gauge structure, others with the geometric organization of Standard Model structure, and others with consistency and renormalization. The site navigation is organized so readers can enter by interest without needing to reconstruct the intended reading order from scratch.
__________
Scientific status and reproducibility
The Axis Model is presented as a falsifiable effective framework, not as a finished or closed theory. Where results are provisional, approximate, or dependent on modeling choices, that status is stated in the originating paper. Where results are rigid or parameter-constrained, that rigidity is likewise documented.
A core design requirement across the suite is reproducibility. Where applicable, the papers link to archived computational artifacts (notebooks, data products, and run manifests) so that key numerical results can be re-executed and checked by independent readers.
What is mature vs. what is still open
Fermion-sector construction and mixing outputs, including generation structure and downstream observables, within the stated geometric assumptions and calibration choices.
Gauge-sector construction, including coherence-gated non-Abelian structure, projector-weight normalization, and electroweak/strong-sector matching interfaces.
Quantum consistency and BRST-invariant completion, establishing renormalization stability across the stated Scenario-B EFT window.
Emergent-gravity construction, including recovery of the Einstein–Hilbert limit and the one-loop map to a local effective gravitational coupling Geff(x) in coherent domains.
Suite-level interfaces and conventions, consolidated in the Reference Guide: notation authority, cross-paper relations, regime taxonomy, and dependency maps.
Deterministic numerical pipelines supporting internal consistency checks, benchmark comparisons, and stated empirical analyses where provided.
Open / next phase (explicitly targeted, falsifiable, and externally testable):
Independent replication of computational pipelines and re-analysis of benchmark claims by external groups.
Direct observational tests of the suite’s discriminating predictions, including:
lensing/time-delay vs. standard-siren closures,
environment-dependent neutrino oscillation posteriors,
discrete flyby anomaly structure,
large-scale anisotropy benchmarks.
Multi-messenger and cross-survey data accumulation sufficient to decisively confirm or exclude minimal single-factor closures.
Ongoing consolidation and simplification of suite interfaces as the archive stabilizes across versions and replications.

How to Explore the Research
The Axis Model suite comprises interconnected papers (see below) organized into thematic programs. The dependency diagram shows how papers build on each other, with F0 serving as the conceptual anchor. Readers can enter the suite through different pathways depending on their interests:
Foundational Framework → Start with F0
Core definitions, field content, and scope
Overview of the empirical testing program
Conceptual anchor for the entire suite
Standard Model Structure → F2, F8, F10, F6
Fermion sector: F10 (geometric origin of three generations)
Electroweak normalization: F2 (gauge coupling predictions)
Strong-sector normalization: F8 (QCD coupling evolution)
Neutrino phenomenology: F6 (environment-dependent mass)
Gauge Structure & Projection → F9, F2, F8
Coherence-gated non-Abelian construction: F9
Projection mechanism producing SU(2) × U(1) × SU(3) structure
Kernel-to-coupling map and normalization interfaces
Quantum consistency: F3 (renormalization and EFT window)
BRST completion: F11 (gauge structure and UV stability)
EFT matching assumptions and scale separation
The intent of MortonsGuide is to make the archive easier to audit and replicate. The authoritative content remains in the papers themselves and their archived artifacts at the linked DOIs. The suite is currently available as public preprints.
