What does this research mean for the field?

To make the licensing status of a physical claim explicit and auditable, three functionally necessary types of information—requirements, warrants, and token-level satisfaction—must be recoverable, and calibration of diagnostic triggers demonstrates the necessity of explicit non-trigger boundaries to prevent over-triggering. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.METHODOLOGICAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

To establish the minimum information necessary to audit the applicability of theoretical claims in fundamental physics and calibrate a diagnostic pattern library.

To establish the minimum information necessary to audit the applicability of theoretical claims in fundamental physics and calibrate a diagnostic pattern library.
Formulated the Functional Incompleteness Argument to define three irreducible information types required for auditability: evaluation requirements, inferential warrants, and claim-token satisfaction.
Tested a seven-signature pattern library across a fourteen-case calibration using tightened version 3 diagnostic triggers.
Calibration adjudications yielded thirty-eight non-firings, five source-lock or non-assessment outcomes, and one unresolved circularity dependency, resulting in zero newly earned firings.
Sharpened triggers successfully prevented over-triggering, demonstrating the critical importance of establishing explicit non-trigger boundaries when testing diagnostic selectivity.

Implication

Methodological evaluation reveals strict diagnostic requirements for theory applicability in fundamental physics, indicating that explicit trigger boundaries prevent false-positive assessments.
