Pure Locking Inference: A First-Principles Framework for the Locking Network Universe

Pure Locking Inference (PLI) is a physical framework in which the universe is described as a network of locking relations. The framework begins with a single axiom: measurement is the process of establishing a relational lock between two intrinsic locking structures. From this axiom, PLI derives the necessary condition for readable existence: γ > Γ, where γ is the locking strength and Γ is the decoherence rate. This condition leads to three complete physical states: the readable state, the dark matter state, and the ground state. PLI further derives the flip mechanism, the arrow of time, the FΛCDM model, and a quantitative constraint relating the fine-structure constant to the vacuum viscosity measured from the glueball X(2370). PLI does not replace existing theories; it provides a unified relational language for physics, biology, and symbolic systems.
