Status Note and Partial Retraction: Unified Theory of Everything from SU(3)₃ ⊗ SU(2)₂ — claims withdrawn, what stands, and where the mathematics continues

STATUS NOTE AND PARTIAL RETRACTION (June 2026). This version supersedes the claims of v1-v33. Withdrawn: the "zero free parameters" derivation claim (the corpus contains fitted and selected inputs; the honest count is not zero); |V_ts| = 0.059 and the Delta-C9 ~ -1.3 "prediction" (about 13 sigma from experiment, CKM-unitarity violating, circular); proton lifetime 7.7e22 yr (excluded by Super-K); r ~ 0.083 (excluded by CMB data); the baryogenesis estimate (off by ~3e4); and all observables for which the series carries mutually inconsistent derivations (sin^2 theta_W, 1/alpha, lambda_H, G_N - including the G_N = l^2/32 chain of v33).

What stands: the mathematics, maintained separately and under peer review - the condensable-algebra classification of SU(3)_3 x SU(2)_2 (two algebras; maximal condensation to the nu=11 Ising-type category, the modular tensor category of SO(11)_1; Witt class [Ising]^11), the N+k=6 characterization and fixed-point classification of adjoint transparency, and the validated mtctools package - at concept DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20128951 (v7: 10.5281/zenodo.20618695).

Qualitative observations (e.g. the residual Z6 = Z3 x Z2 structure matching the Standard Model gauge-group quotient) remain interesting as observations, not derivations. Earlier versions remain accessible as the record of the programme's history. Full notice in the attached PDF.
