Drift-Field (DF) v10-5-11: Introduction and Main Long Theory

January 16, 2026 (v10-5-11) Drift-Field (DF) Main Theory v10-5-11: A Λ-free, single-potential framework with Mode A/B validation This Zenodo record contains the LaTeX source files for Drift-Field (DF) v10-5-11, provided as a transparent, versioned reference: (1) DF Introduction (Main Theory) — a concise entry point that summarizes the framework, defines the key symbols and conventions, and explains how the main results are organized and where standard cosmological anchors (e.g., early-universe consistency constraints) are enforced. (2) DF Main Long Theory — the full technical manuscript. It lays out the operator/notation basis used throughout the DF v10-5-11 series and develops the model step-by-step: field content, stress-energy bookkeeping, the cosmology-facing formulation (Mode conventions), and the internal consistency requirements used to connect the framework to standard observables (CMB/BAO distance structure, growth, lensing). Where relevant, derivations are written to make assumptions explicit and to keep the logic auditable. A central motivation is the long-standing vacuum-energy / cosmological-constant bookkeeping problem. The DF v10-5-11 framework explores a symmetry- and regulator-based route in which constant vacuum terms are treated in a constrained way, while retaining the standard curvature (Einstein–Hilbert) sector and preserving no-signalling in the quantum-operational components. The emphasis is on explicit notation, auditable assumptions, and consistency checks rather than rhetorical claims.The intention of this upload is reproducibility of the written derivations and notation alignment across the DF v10-5-11 documents (source-level transparency), including a stable citation target via DOI.
