Replication Package – Cosmology from a Three-Bit Seed

Replication package for the pre-geometric seed cosmology (Weller 2026: Cosmology from a Three-Bit Seed, 10.5281/zenodo.22586235, which is the program's single source of truth and supersedes the prior corpus documents wherever they differ). Every quantitative claim in the papers regenerates from this package: one script, one command, one expected output per claim. Environment: Python 3.11+ with mpmath, sympy, numpy, and scipy; the spin-foam claims additionally used sl2cfoam-next at commit 052e4346 (github.com/qg-cpt-marseille/sl2cfoam-next, master, 2025-08-28), verified by file-level comparison against the upstream tree. The transfer-matrix dumps it produced are included, so all post-processing reproduces without rebuilding the library; for full from-scratch regeneration, sl2cfoam_tools/ contains the nine utilities added (a one-line Makefile change), buildable per the upstream README. The branching-ratio claims split by dependency: branching_su2.py needs numpy only (~30 s, all assertions exact); the EPRL sweep needs the library. The dark-energy elimination and quantum-partition claims require only numpy and scipy; one_species.py is the shared module (background integrator and approximate DESI-DR1 BAO scorer); BAO verdicts are clear-tier only (Δχ² ≳ 15 or several σ), and the full-likelihood confrontation awaits the survey covariances. The tensor-sector audit of §G and the pivot-layer likelihood reruns use camb and cobaya (the BK15 dataset ships with the CosmoMC repository; the BK18lf_dust baseline dataset is downloaded from bicepkeck.org; set BK15_DATASET and BK18_DATASET to their paths); the tensor-revision, early-transfer, and pivot-layer computational records otherwise need only numpy, scipy, and sympy. The package's sectors. The spectrum and the measure: the root-measure derivation with saddle silence verified at both accessible orders and the second-order block c(r) = −1/3 + (4/3)cos²r; the equator cross-check reproducing the root harmonic (root arc π, unit u = π·3^(−1/3), all assertions exact); and the exact quadrupole-suppression action cost ΔS = 3S₀/4^g. The energy sector, where the script sequence is the derivation: one power of Tr(D) = 4π (the two-power alternative is a double count), the UV-dominated degeneracy sum with saturation depth g* ≈ 3.1, the constraint cap κ = 3/(2π) exact at the time-symmetric matching surface, the collapse theorem η_B/(rA_s) = 15πWc·g_b·κ·rate/(2g*) verified symbolically with no dimensionful survivor (K = 2.1242; c·rate = 4.029 at the quark-sector convention as published, 4.54 under the first tensor revision, 4.86 under the consolidated one, 5.0 at the pivot values, where the counting target is η_B/(rA_s) = 10.5 – the scaling is 1/r, within the two registered order-unity residues), and the budget identification ω_b = f(η_B), ω_cdm = (27/5)ω_b with the route-uniqueness assertion and the logged closed-form marker at 3.4σ (disfavored). The branching-ratio sector (structure paper Section 5.2): the elementary 1 → 4 transition's channel space derived by SU(2) admissibility (eight channels; the failed-edge selection rule forced), the single-edge failure probability exact in the topological SU(2) model – 18/323, within the distribution 224/323 and 9/323, every Table-2 entry an exact rational including the e(AB,CD) selection-rule zero – and 0.10–0.12 in Lorentzian EPRL across γ = 0.1–1.2, Dl-converged, with γ = √3/9 a named adverse point; three implementations concordant everywhere they overlap, with the retirement forensics retained as records (p_scan.py, gamma_minimal_closure.py). The spin-foam sector: the composite bound state (M_T = 1.9704(11) against threshold 4.049(71), margin 2.08(7), Borromean), the spin-saturation asymptote 2.77(5), label-free level certification by correlator effective-mass plateaus (agreement to a few parts in 10³), the documented open j→∞ axis, the exchange-statistics characters (−1 baryon, +1 dark; operator identity P₁₂TP₁₂ = −T), and the vertex channel structure (curl trace 15/16, split 15/96). The dark-energy elimination and quantum partition (transition paper §12; predictions letter §5): the six sourcing channels each closed, yielding the coefficient map c_measured = 0.759 ± 0.015 with 3/4 at −0.7σ (H₀ = 67.41), the T_d representation structure (the move's added slot splitting 1/4 : 3/4 exactly), the sharpened Ω_k = −1.7 × 10⁻³ with T_ig = 0.558 T_P pinned from the anomaly corner, the depth-doubling reducing to ρ_c0·V₄/ℏ = c/Ω_Λ = 1.095, and the flow cap C ≲ 0.03 (2σ) with phantom signature w(0.3) ≈ −1.013. The tensor sector carries the audit's full history in four layers. §G regenerates the first August 2026 revision (the note Correcting Errors in the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Calculation): the ensemble correction, the bare-edge rule from the eight-channel space, the exact core r_core = 4/[15(3−2p)²] = 0.031067 at the anchor, the stationary edge-age law and offset kernel, the template mapping validated against the BK15 likelihood (calibration ratio 1.0593 vs 1.057 computed), the BK18 direct evaluation, and a preserved failed validation (the literal metric embedding does not reproduce the closed form); its intermediate values carry superseded-by markers pointing forward. §I regenerates the consolidated tensor revision (the note Deriving the Assertions in the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Calculation): the wedge-share inheritance rule derived, the deposit supports derived as exact geometry (the 60° ring partition a theorem), the inter-move channel enumerated with its canonical chart identification (own-shell cross terms vanish identically; the boundary–existence channel a constant −5.5% at the anchor), the constant-anchor sensitivity budget, the transition-stage tensor table (own-shell variances stationary over all 28 reachable age states), giving F = 0.905 ± 0.016, physical r = 0.0281 ± 0.0005, reported r = 0.0297 ± 0.0005, n_t = n_s − 1 = −0.03512, and the likelihood readoff (0.35σ from the BK15 peak; 1.3σ from BK18's best fit) – the constant-anchor package, registered as closed in the monograph; the pivot layer supersedes its numerical values, and bk_readoff_v30.txt carries a superseded-by header. §J closes the early transfer at linear order on the transition paper's own conversion dynamics: the background family, the mode-by-mode transfer analytic in k² with no k⁰ residue, and the band bounds (non-distorting to one part in 10⁵², tensor–scalar asymmetry bounded alongside). The pivot layer (v8) regenerates the adoption of the scale-local pricing premise – the tilt run down from its exact anchor value 1 − n_s = ln 2/(2π²) to n_s(k*) = 0.97268 at n* = k*R = 5393 (exact sum T(n*) = 8.1287 from n = 2), with α_s(k*) = +0.00075 and the run-down amplitude A_s(k*) = e^(−S₀)·S₀/S₀(n*) = 2.0813 × 10⁻⁹ – together with the three computations the monograph cites as archived in its anchor registration. The ancestor-line recursion (ancestor_recursion.py): an exact backward recursion over the descendant tree under the stated measure – uniform p, the classical action cost e^(−ΔS) at any one-loop offset, and the descendant-existence feedback – returning no band tilt at any offset (p_g/p₀ → 1 by g ≈ 7; local tilt below 2 × 10⁻⁵ at g = 10; the low-harmonic suppression 51/17/5/1.4/0.4% at g = 1–5), which closes the constant-anchor package by computation rather than by data. The running-trace decomposition (running_trace_decomposition.py): w_run(n) = deg(n)·g(n)/λ_n exactly, the logarithm the Hessian's after the Green's function cancels the degeneracy, with the K₅-intertwiner weight (n+1)/λ_n shown to sum linearly, so the helicity reduction is the only discretely derived ingredient of the trace ({6j} = 1/√(2(n+1)) verified for n = 1–7). The discrete Laplacian on the 1→4 complex (discrete_laplacian.py): three discrete operators on the K₅ root refined by centroid moves (literal metric, regular-in-own-chart, graph), none carrying S³ shell structure – S₅ degeneracies 1, 4, 4, 11, …; edge lengths never refine (the root chord 1.58 persists); the embedded flat volume grows ×1.7 per generation – placing the budget's spectral ingredients on the saddle. The tensor chain re-evaluated at p(k*) = 0.02732 (canonical_intermove_pivot.py, config_window_final_pivot.py): the inter-move correction −4.27%, the window factor 0.9488, F(k*) = 0.9084 ± 0.016, r_core(k*) = 0.030739, physical r = 0.0279 ± 0.0005, reported r = 0.0292 ± 0.0005, n_t(k*) = (n_s − 1) − 4p²/(3 − 2p) = −0.02833. The B-mode likelihoods rerun at the pivot values (bk15_pivot.py, bk15_chunk.py, bk18_chunk.py; cobaya 3.6.2, camb 2.0.4, seven foreground parameters profiled): BK15 framework-shape profile r_ML = 0.039, σ = 0.027, the prediction 0.4σ from the peak and preferred over the null by Δχ² = 2.5; the flat/framework calibration ratio 1.051 against the CAMB template factor 1.049 over BK bins 1–3 (bb_template_pivot.py) and the projection 1.046; BK18lf flat within Δχ² ≈ 0.3 over r = 0–0.03, the prediction Δχ² = 0.5 above the null, the 95% crossing at r ≈ 0.040 at fixed cosmology (published 0.036 with cosmology varied). Each script has its record beside it; PIVOT_RERUN_README.txt assembles the layer. The seed state: monogamy-saturation identification (W state, node-primitive) and unfrustrated Bell-bond triangle (link-primitive) with entanglement invariants and floor-entropy comparison. Scope is stated plainly: the scale-local pricing premise and the bare-saddle normalization are stated premises, not derivations – the recursion shows the running is not in the stated measure, and the decomposition shows two of its four ingredients are continuum objects – with the joint A_s–n_s line their registered falsifier; P-ROOT fixes the root harmonic n₀ = 3^(1/3) and no longer enters the amplitude, so the amplitude no longer discriminates the root measure; the j→∞ double limit is an open axis and falsifying the binding there is a standing invitation; the η_B residue is two registered order-unity items plus one Standard-Model convention; Ω_Λ =

Epistemic Inventory and Taxonomy of Claims

Here we present four companion documents for the program corpus listed below. The Taxonomy of Claims lists the theory's claims and assigns each one a status. The claims are grouped in four tiers: Framework (the laws and constants, which the theory does not derive), Derived from Framework (quantities computed from the framework, not independent inputs – including the per-edge failure probability p = ln 2/(2π²) and its spin-foam status, the bare-edge rule, and the tensor consistency relation n_t = n_s − 1), Pre-history (derived properties that are the same in any realization), and History (properties specific to our universe). A set of notes covers the counting conventions, the ensemble rule, the correspondence ledger, the anchor question and its resolution, several associations recorded without claim status, and a closing statement of the one assumption the theory requires. The Epistemic Inventory (What the Theory Claims to Know) contains the same material organized by question. Some fifty questions – why the cosmological constant is small, why w = −1, where the spectral tilt comes from, whether there are primordial gravitational waves, what preceded the first moment, why these constants – are each given the theory's answer in plain language and a status: derived, identified, dissolved, partial, or not claimed. The final section lists the questions the theory does not claim to answer. The Universe from a Single Strike is a lay description of the Ignition, provided as an onramp to the framework's technical papers. Two revision notes carry the tensor sector's audit trail, retained side by side. Correcting Errors in the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Calculation is the first revision, kept as the record it is: the ensemble correction, the bare-edge rule, and the revision of the physical ratio to 0.0301 ± 0.001. Deriving the Assertions in the Tensor-to-Scalar Ratio Calculation (new in this version, and controlling where the two disagree) is the consolidated revision, closing by computation the two commitments the first note left standing in its own words: the deposit-support rule, previously ratified, is derived as exact geometry (the 60° ring partition a theorem of the subdivision, the wedge-share inheritance rule derived), and the inter-move correlations, previously asserted shapeless, are enumerated (own-shell cross terms vanish identically; the boundary–existence channel is a constant renormalization adding no shape). The amplitude moves and no relation does: a standard flat-template B-mode analysis will report r = 0.0297 ± 0.0005, about 7% under the current combined limit r < 0.032; the underlying physical ratio, the same at every scale, is 0.0281 ± 0.0005, with the revision history owned on the record (0.0339 → 0.0301 → 0.0281). The tensor tilt is unchanged at the exact consistency relation n_t = n_s − 1 = −0.03512, now ten times redder than single-field inflation's at equal r; the α_s withdrawal stands. The new note answers the first note's frozen claims row by row in a ledger appendix, withdraws that note's promise of numerical finality as a category error, carries the complete derivations in its appendices, reproducible from the public replication package, and is registered before the next B-mode data release. The taxonomy and inventory are updated to match, including the upgraded statuses the note drives. This version registers three additions driven by the tensor tranche of the modeling package (10.5281/zenodo.22217227) and by the one-loop sector: the two-entry sourcing dictionary behind r – missing volume sources the scalar per cell, hinge-deficit shear sources the tensor per hinge, joined at the single-failure channel as a named premise – with the exact S³ mode-count law (2/5)(1 − 4/n²); and the marginal-normalization premise behind A_s, superseding the one-loop paper's "standard sectors net to unity" (the tensor-sector determinant is now computed, 0.762, and the vector and ghost sectors cancel exactly). Registered values are unchanged; the exact-support window factor 0.9539 is carried in the modeling package pending consolidation. The falsification conditions for the corpus are collected separately in the predictions letter (revised in step with this version) and are not repeated in these documents. All documents will be maintained: new versions will record changes in the status of claims, including withdrawals.
