The central aim is to demonstrate that explicit licensing conditions are necessary in fundamental physics to resolve persistent failure patterns across various theories.
Identified structural failure patterns in cosmological and quantum theories.
Established limits explaining why self-licensing attempts fail.
Proposed applicability diagnostics as a methodological framework for clarifying licensing conditions.
Defined a six-step diagnostic procedure with a worked example of the Hartle–Hawking proposal.
Created a Master Table utilizing seven diagnostic signatures across multiple fields.
Established that no physical theory can derive its own licensing conditions without encountering major limitations.
Demonstrated the applicability diagnostics through a worked example, producing concrete verifiable outcomes.
Highlighted the necessity of a methodological layer for explicit and auditable licensing conditions.
