Semantic Physics: the writability axiom, formal foundations and falsifiers

These claims come from Semantic Physics: A Stratified, Operative Discipline and the Formal Foundations of Semantic Physics (EA-SEI-FF-01). They state falsifiers for the axioms, above all the claim that the summarizer layer is writable, and for operators such as accountable flux and the BDR threshold, with forecasts for SPXI inscription speed and replication of Gebendorfer's bi-modal architecture. Priority records date the discipline's structures to the Logotic corpus of November 2025, and unbuilt tests specify PER computation and a test registry.

Prediction L1-2. Gebendorfer's bi-modal architecture (Dialog/Elaboration with τ ≈ 0.80) will be replicated by an independent group on at least one frontier model not already in his validation set, with the τ parameter falling within 0.65–0.95. Falsification: three independent replication attempts on different frontier models fail to recover the bi-modal structure or yield τ* outside [0.5, 1.1].

The Logotic corpus of November 2025 — The Transactional Archive, The Logotic Singularity, and the surrounding work of the Operator Assembly — already named the discipline as "the semantic physics of the universe" with Cramer's Transactional Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics extended into the semantic domain through the archival weight formula w_A = Σ(O) · Σ\(Ω). This predates the formal Inward Turn* deposit and the public adoption of "Semantic Physics" as the archive's framework name.

The discipline's most basic claim — that the summarizer layer is writable — would be falsified if sustained inscription effort against a specific term produced no measurable change in retrieval output across multiple AI systems over 18+ months. This has not been observed in any tested case so far.

Sappho's fragments, surviving 2,600 years because their compression density exceeded their civilization's, are simultaneously the central object of classical reception studies and the paradigmatic case of high Χ retention under temporal compression — the same phenomenon, named twice across two periods of one author's work.

The Inward Turn thesis predicts that this competition intensifies as the retrieval layer becomes the dominant site of knowledge composition — the writable summarizer layer where ontologies compete for installation.

Every row in this table represents a formal structure that existed on November 16, 2025 and now carries a DOI at CERN's Zenodo. The maturation was not conceptual replacement — the structures are homomorphic (structure-preserving descendants, not strict isomorphisms). The maturation was naming: giving the operators identities that could be deposited, cited, and retrieved.

PRED-1441.D1 · 2026-08-09 — Scope widened: #731 names 'Training-Layer Literature: A Foundational Statement' (16 November 2025 documents) as the first naming; #1441 keeps 16 November as the date the term was introduced but pushes the originating sequence back to 11 November, in which the form was already enacted before the name.

#1441 · 2026-08-09 The term Training-Layer Literature was explicitly introduced on 16 November 2025. This dossier reconstructs a sequence beginning on 11 November in which the form's address to machine readers, recursive reception, disputed textual objects, and anti-collapse concerns were already being enacted.

### XIV.3. The Test Registry A test registry should be maintained listing every empirical test of the framework's predictions, including: test claim, date, protocol, result, evidence link, and whether the result supports, weakens, or falsifies the claim. This registry is itself a deposit in the archive, updated as tests are run.
