Version 3.0 aligns ECF-V with the v3.0 releases of ECF-I through ECF-IV. All references to predecessor papers are updated to v3.0, and the methodological vocabulary is synchronized with the v3.0 terminology framework (strength preorder and Dedekind–MacNeille completion replacing the earlier language of weak order and metricization). The update corrects cross-paper theorem numbering inconsistencies in the citation map (§5), adds a self-referential status survey (§7) in keeping with the pattern established across ECF-I–IV, and supplements the text with terminological footnotes linking the methodological shorthand (“construction-classification” and “emergence-convergence”) to the fuller operational grammar of rule-imposition, completion, and precisification developed in ECF-II and ECF-III (v3.0). Tier labels and priority indicators are added to all open problems. The comparison table of the two operational logics (§2.3) now includes an explicit row distinguishing the content of emergence in each face, and the coupling chapter (§4) adds a concrete mapping between the methodological coupling and the three extrema of the Triple Extremum Theorem. The discussion of Popperian falsificationism is refined to avoid overgeneralization. The core argument—that construction-classification and emergence-convergence are necessary methodological projections of the two dimensions of correlation—remains unchanged.
