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:

1) Orientation

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.

2) Scope control

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.

3) Reader pathways

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

Mature suite components (documented in the papers)

• Fermion-sector construction and mixing outputs within the stated assumptions and calibration choices.

• Gauge-sector construction, including coherence-gated non-Abelian structure and normalization interfaces.

• BRST-consistent quantization and renormalization stability on the stated EFT window.

• Emergent-gravity construction, including the Einstein–Hilbert limit and the one-loop map to a local effective gravitational coupling in coherent domains.

• Deterministic numerical pipelines supporting major comparisons and benchmarks where provided.
  
  

Open / next phase

• Independent replication of the computational pipelines and re-analysis of benchmark claims.

• Direct observational tests targeting the program’s discriminating predictions (e.g., lensing/time-delay relations, standard-siren scalings, oscillation-posterior structure).

• Continued consolidation and simplification of suite interfaces as the archive stabilizes across versions.
  
  

How to explore the research

The navigation menu organizes the suite by topic. Each topic page links to the corresponding Zenodo record(s) and any archived artifacts used to generate figures or tables.

Readers who want a direct starting point can use one of the following entry modes:

• Foundational framework: definitions, field content, scope, and the empirical testing program.

• Standard Model structure: fermion sector outputs (masses, CKM/PMNS) and the dedicated neutrino phenomenology treatment elsewhere in the suite. 

• Gauge structure: coherence-gated non-Abelian construction and the projection mechanism that produces an SU(2) connection.

• Normalization and matching: electroweak normalization, strong-sector normalization, and the kernel-weight interfaces used at matching.

• Quantum consistency and UV control: BRST structure, renormalization control, and the stated EFT window / UV matching assumptions.

• Emergent gravity: construction of coherent-domain geometry and the quantitative map to effective gravitational response.

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. The suite is currently available as public preprints and has not yet been accepted in a traditional journal.
