Complementarity-First Foundational Release I: Architecture, Paper Map, Claims, and Open Problems

Complementarity-First Foundational Release I is a ten-record research release consisting

of nine technical papers and this overview. The technical corpus comprises 246 date-neutral

public-manuscript pages and spans a conceptual-formal primitive, four quantum-foundations studies,

a paired-incidence and transport architecture for finite/local gravity, two distinct local Regge

descendants, and a source-controlled Unified Dynamics synthesis. This article supplies the release-

wide paper map, dependency graph, claim/evidence classification, artifact register, and open-problem

ledger. Its organizing principle is anti-flattening: conceptual proposals, conditional theorems,

exact countermodels, finite computations, prospective tests, negative results, and source-controlled

syntheses are not treated as interchangeable evidence. The foundational paper defines a completed

relation with internal role distinction and shows by elementary independence models that the

primitive does not itself determine probability, continuity, geometry, dynamics, or complex quantum

theory. The quantum branch separates a conditional reconstruction audit from three focused

problems: readout of the two-rebit tomographic defect, certificate-relative operational objectivity

underanoninjectivepublicinterface, andtheresourcerequirementsforrecordsandfiniteautonomous

maintenance without a free thermodynamic arrow. The gravity branch begins only after a rank-two

paired-chiral carrier, Lorentzian real structure, orientation, affine displacement sector, and transport

law are selected; common-coframe data then arise only conditionally through the admitted simplicity,

gluing, and nondegeneracy chain, after which the branch reaches conditional Palatini–Regge structure

and exact finite periodic endpoints but not arbitrary-mesh or continuum closure. Two later gravity

papers address different questions: descriptor-local H2/H2R transfer and a conditional curved-Regge

identity, versus an intrinsic six-sector Reynolds cancellation mechanism for local zero germs. Unified

Dynamics organizes controlled quantum and gravity descendants around a finite dual-pair carrier and

a common BF-type kernel while retaining a variation-space obstruction, open complement-operation

coherence, no absolute scale, and no Level-4 prediction. The strongest defensible conclusion is

therefore a disciplined finite/local reconstruction architecture with exact technical advances, explicit

failures, and auditable selectors. Release I is not a completed theory of physics, a continuum

unification, a derivation of the Born rule or complex scalars from primitive complementarity, a

quantized-gravity result, or an externally peer-reviewed and independently replicated corpus.
