Technical Supplement to Paper 7 of the Admissibility Physics Framework (APF), A Minimal Quantum of Action from Finite Admissibility. Paper 7's central structural identity: the Connes–Chamseddine spectral action coincides with the APF partition function under the Boltzmann cutoff, and the Seeley–DeWitt expansion of the resulting heat trace reproduces the cosmological constant Λ, the Einstein–Hilbert action ∫ R √ (−g) d4x, and the Yang–Mills + Higgs sector Tr (Fμν Fμν) + |Dμφ|2 + V (φ) from a single variational principle. Six formal sections plus a red-team audit appendix. All derivations use only A1, MD, A2, BW (PLEC) + constitutive semantics SP, K3 + the capacity quantization Ctot = 61, deff = 102 imported from Papers 1–5. §S. 1 Minimum quantum of action. Zero action is inadmissible for record-forming paths from MD (positive cost floor). Multi-record bookkeeping produces the k! permutation factor underlying Planck-type quantization ℏ. §S. 2 Non-interacting partition function. Z0 (β) = (1 + deff e−βε*) Ctot, derived from the PLEC saturation form; the gapped-ground-state regime is kT ≪ ε*. §S. 3 Saturation factorisation. Zsat (β, η) = Nmicro e−β Esat (η) with two structural independences isolated: Zsat is independent of β through Nmicro and independent of interaction couplings η through the saturation counting. §S. 4 The spectral-action identity (the central result). The Connes spectral action Tr (f (D/Λcut) ) coincides with the APF partition function under the Boltzmann cutoff. The Seeley–DeWitt expansion Tr (e−tD²) ∼ Σk ≥ 0 ak (D²) tk−n/2 yields a0 → Λ, a2 → R, a4 → Fμν Fμν + |Dμφ|2 + V (φ). Uniqueness follows from spectral invariance, gauge invariance, and positivity (checkₛpectralₐctionᵢnternal in internalization. py). §S. 5 Geometric corollaries. Kolmogorov-type continuum limit; Lipschitz chartability; Lovelock uniqueness of the Einstein equations in d = 4; Coleman–Mandula internalisation; Hawking–King–McCarthy causal-order uniqueness; Malament full-metric recovery from causal structure. §S. 6 Standard-Model extensions. One-loop β-function coefficients from APF field content; Type-I seesaw for right-handed neutrino masses; Pauli–Jordan spin–statistics from commutator symmetry; McKean–Singer index identity; Tannaka–Krein reconstruction of the gauge group. §S. 7 Red-team audit flagging additional hypotheses at point of use: spectral-triple ansatz, Lipschitz regularity, causal-order topology. Code and reproducibility. GitHub repository Colab walkthrough notebook (one-click) Interactive dependency DAG About the APF series. The Admissibility Physics Framework is a ten-paper derivation chain plus core infrastructure, extending a single axiom (finite information capacity) through the Standard Model gauge group, fermion content, quantum formalism, Lorentzian spacetime, Einstein field equations, cosmological constant, and minimum quantum of action. Each paper's main text and Technical Supplement is deposited separately on Zenodo; each paper has a companion GitHub repository with the vendored apf/ codebase (v6. 9, 376 bank-registered theorems across 23 modules, 48 quantitative predictions), a one-click Colab notebook, and an interactive D3. js dependency DAG.
