Abstract
Complementarity-First Foundational Release I is a ten-record research release consisting of nine technical papers and this overview. The technical corpus comprises 245 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 under a noninjective public interface, and the resource requirements for records and finite autonomous 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.
The anti-flattening rule
The overview shall not replace a paper’s claim type by a generic word such as “result.” Every release-level summary must preserve whether the source is a conceptual proposal, definition, conditional theorem, exact finite countermodel, exact symbolic calculation, finite retrospective census, prospective test, negative result, source-controlled synthesis, or open/hold statement.
A single scale from “speculative” to “proved” is too coarse for this corpus. An exact countermodel and a conditional theorem may both be rigorous while answering different questions. A negative prospective test may be more informative than a positive retrospective fit. A source-controlled synthesis can be correct without being a new theorem.
Citation ownership
CF-OV1 is the correct citation for the release-level paper map, evidence classification, DOI register, and open-problem ledger — and only for those. The technical results stay with their owning papers: the two-rebit exact readout theorem belongs to CFQF-Q1, the periodic two-polarization quotient to TCG-F1, the H2R prospective tests to CUD-G1, and the Reynolds cancellation theorem to CUD-G2.
