1. Distinction Theory: A General Theory of Finite Systems

A high-level overview of the full Distinction Theory research programme and claim-space archive.

Scope: DT-Archive / Research Programme

FDS-0Formal Core

2. Finite Distinction Systems: A First Introduction

An introduction to the formal finite-system core: boundary maintenance, finite capacity, capacity deficit, pruning, collapse, and invariant persistence.

Scope: FDS-0 / Formal Core

FDS-X3Four InteractionsOperation Closure

3. Functional Decomposition of the Four Fundamental Interactions

Interprets the four known fundamental interactions as a minimal physical distinction-operation closure: strong (encapsulation), EM (connection), weak (identity transformation), gravity (global boundary).

Scope: FDS-X3 / Frontier Physical Consequences

FDS-Q0QuantumBoundary AccessHolonomy

4. Boundary-Access Holonomy and the Quantum Reversible Quotient

Formulates standard quantum mechanics as the zero-record-holonomy quotient of asymmetric finite boundary access. Defines boundary-access holonomy, separates three holonomy sectors, proves a restricted quotient-consistency theorem, and supplies Mach-Zehnder stable-record and QEC directed-leakage operational models.

Scope: FDS-Q0 / Quantum Upstream

FDS-Q2Fault-Tolerant QCDistinction Maintenance

5. Finite Distinction Maintenance in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computation

Treats fault-tolerant quantum computation as finite distinction maintenance. Logical qubits are protected quantum quotients whose error correction converts distinction loss into maintenance work. Introduces vector ledger, scaling-wall diagnostics, and architecture-specific resource bounds.

Scope: FDS-Q2 / Quantum Bridge

FDS-G1Finite Screen SpacetimeEntropy-ResponseGravity

6. Finite Screen Spacetime: A New Entropy-Response Route to Gravity

The physics flagship: finite causal-screen entropy-response geometry, the G1DE-M_{3/4} projection-locked residual, six-model nested evidence, D0–D7 dark-sector closure, and the finite Markov-screen realization prototype.

Scope: FDS-G1 / Finite Screen Gravity

FDS-G1Finite Screen EntropyPrimitive

7. Why Finite Screen Entropy? The Primitive Argument Behind FDS–G1

The conceptual motivation: why finite-screen entropy is the primitive substrate for gravitational coupling in the FDS–G1 programme.
