Collapse Universality & Pre-Regularity Diagnostics

Collapse Universality & Pre-Regularity Instrumentation

1. What this dashboard is for

This dashboard is not a general UNNS lab index.

It is a theory-bound instrumentation surface created to support and explain the paper: "Collapse Universality in the UNNS Substrate"

Its purpose is to help users understand:

• how τ-energy is operationalized,
• how collapse (Operator XII) is realized in practice,
• how descriptor-level stability and universality are empirically probed,
• and how certain structures (e.g. μ★ ≈ φ) qualify as emergent, not tuned.

This dashboard organizes selected chambers by functional role, not by completeness or chronology.

2. Two kinds of chambers: why they are grouped

You will see chambers grouped under two headings:

3. Where is "Chamber XII" (Collapse)?

⚠️ This is a common point of confusion.

There is no standalone file named "Chamber XII".

Instead: Operator XII (Collapse) is implemented as an embedded layer inside the UNNS Empirical Lab (unns-lab_v0.4.2.html).

In practical terms, this embedded Chamber XII is the logic that:

• evaluates τ-energy or equivalent mismatch,
• compares it to τ_crit,
• terminates unstable recursion,
• reseeds admissible structures.

This collapse layer is pre-physical and pre-geometric. All downstream analyses (constants, spectra, plots) occur after collapse.

4. How to read a chamber card

Each chamber card contains three layers of information:

(a) Role ribbon — indicates why the chamber is here:

• τ-Energy Calibration
• Local Attractor Probe
• Dispersive Coupling Probe
• Collapse Enforcement Probe

(b) Diagnostic annotations — measured or inferred properties:

• Δ″(μ★) > 0 · Local basin confirmed
• L_C^loc ≈ 0.4 (contractive regime)
• Coupled: XII / XV

(c) Status / Emergence badges — epistemic status:

• ✓ COMPLETE — implementation finished
• ✓ Emergent (robust) — persists under parameter perturbations
• ⚠ Robustness sweep pending — do not treat as emergent yet

Only probe chambers can receive an Emergent badge.

5. The Pre-Regularity Diagnostics panel

This panel (top of page) declares the global experimental context:

• how τ-energy is aggregated (weights),
• how τ_crit is calibrated,
• which variables define the descriptor space,
• whether local contractivity is expected,
• whether emergence testing is active.

These settings apply to all chambers below unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Note: Weight sequence parameters (e.g., N for finite horizon) are matched to chamber-specific recursion depths. The paper permits multiple canonical families (§16.1); chambers declare their choice explicitly.

6. How the chambers work together

The paper's logic is not "one chamber proves everything". Instead:

Chamber XXVIII
  ↓ defines τ-energy and τcrit
Operator XII (embedded)
  ↓ collapse selects admissible structures
Chamber XIV
  ↓ tests local descriptor contraction
Chamber XV
  ↓ tests dispersive stability

Universality and emergence claims are valid only if stability survives this entire chain.

7. What you may and may not conclude

8. How to use this dashboard as a reader of the paper

1. Read the Pre-Regularity Diagnostics panel first
2. Identify which chambers are calibration vs probe
3. Follow collapse → stability → dispersion logic
4. Treat chamber outputs as empirical probes, not proofs
5. Use the dashboard as a live appendix, not a substitute for the paper

9. Paper-Dashboard Relationship

Paper = definitions and claims. Qualitative universality (Theorem 1), quantitative stability (Theorem 2), operational closure (Section 16), emergence vs tuning criteria (Definition 10).

Dashboard = measurements and probes. Chamber XXVIII instantiates Δ(S_n), Operator XII enforces collapse, Chamber XIV provides empirical signature for local contraction, Chamber XV probes dispersive coupling.

The dashboard should be read as a live appendix to the reference paper.
