## Overview This record presents **MAV-MCC 4S+4T — Unified General Theory v0. 4. 0-R2** as a **proposed falsifiable unified operational theory**. The release is a major formal, empirical and governance update of the MAV-MCC version lineage associated with the previous Zenodo record `10. 5281/zenodo. 19974197`. It supersedes the preceding published version for current operational use while preserving all earlier versions, predictions, calibrations and negative results as immutable parts of the historical ledger. MAV-MCC is not presented here as an established or independently confirmed scientific theory. The term “unified” refers to a common operational architecture used to formulate and test coherence-sensitive observables across different physical domains. It does not claim a demonstrated unification of the fundamental interactions or a replacement of the Standard Model, general relativity or quantum mechanics. ## Scientific status **Scientific status: ** Proposed falsifiable unified operational theory. **Formal status: ** Effective coherence-first theory with a 4S+4T operational-generative register, D/C algebra, D-cut, T3-lock, Electronic Coherence Interface and domain-specific predictive gates. **Empirical status: ** Mixed. The current ledger includes structural and post-data calibrations, public prospective freezes, active predictions, preserved ex-ante failures and negative benchmark results. **Validation status: ** Independent prospective support and external replication remain open. ## Coherence-first principle The central operational principle is: > frequency, phase and coherence selection precede the stabilization of observable structure or matter. This statement is implemented as a testable ordering principle rather than as an experimentally established ontological fact. MAV-MCC searches for measurable differences between states that may have similar observable form but different internal coherence preparation, retention, phase history or boundary compatibility. The release therefore distinguishes: - observable shape from internal coherence;- state preparation from subsequent evolution;- deformation from reconstruction;- energetic dominance from coherent residual structure;- retrospective calibration from prospective prediction. ## 4S+4T operational-generative register This release formally retires any interpretation of 4S+4T as eight literal coordinates of a new metric spacetime. The 4S+4T structure is defined as an **operational-generative register** mapped onto an effective observable 3+1-dimensional manifold. The spatial register contains: - **S1: ** coordinate, position and directly measurable geometric observable;- **S2: ** structure, lattice or spatial configuration;- **S3: ** boundary, interaction depth or interface;- **S4: ** propagation channel, edge or output path. The temporal register contains: - **T1: ** phase, frequency and internal oscillation;- **T2: ** exchange, interaction and coupling;- **T3: ** retention, coherence and local state memory;- **T4: ** drift, decay and temporal deformation. The register is used to organize domain-specific observables and interactions. It is not claimed to demonstrate four additional geometric dimensions or four independent fundamental time coordinates. ## Effective Lagrangian The release provides an updated effective working action defined on an observable 3+1-dimensional base manifold. The action combines: - a coherence field;- normalized 4S+4T register fields;- deformation and retention terms;- D/C overlap and boundary kernels;- phase-selection and domain-specific gate terms;- temporal-register dynamics;- T3-lock retention;- an Electronic Coherence Interface;- observable projection and domain-reduction terms. The Lagrangian is classified as an **effective working action and domain-reduction scaffold**. It is not presented as a unique microscopic derivation, a theorem-level unification or a completed fundamental field theory. The mass relation currently included in the formal register remains an open candidate ansatz and is not claimed as a derivation of the Standard Model particle-mass spectrum. ## D/C algebra and D-cut The operational algebra is defined by: - **D: ** deconstruction, deformation or detuning;- **C: ** construction, coherence retention or reconstruction. The D-cut is the deformation or detuning operation that establishes a selectable boundary between states or branches. It is not identified with the final observable product. A bubble, residual, reconstructed state or decay signature is classified as an observable consequence produced after the boundary has been created and the relevant coherence conditions have been satisfied. The bounded overlap kernel is represented by: `HDC = 2DC / (D + C + ε) `. All D and C quantities used in empirical applications are domain-specific operational proxies unless explicitly stated otherwise. ## T3-lock and shape–coherence separation This release introduces T3-lock as a central operational mechanism. Its governing statement is: > shape equivalence is not coherence equivalence. Two preparations may show the same or nearly the same macroscopic structure while having different internal state composition, metastability, phase memory or subsequent decay law. The current strongest calibration handle is the public Rydberg false-vacuum experiment comparing a simple Néel preparation with a pre-quench ground-state preparation. The public-data calibration recorded in this release reports, for the vector-digitized generalized van-der-Waals numerical series: `log10 (γPQG/Ω) = -0. 514737 - 0. 1002035 (V/Δₗ) ` with `R² = 0. 994801`, and: `log10 (γNéel/Ω) = -0. 677566 - 0. 0578578 (V/Δₗ) ` with `R² = 0. 943296`. At `V/Δₗ = 25`, the digitized generalized-model ratio is: `γNéel / γPQG = 10. 573`. The corresponding standard-Ising control ratio is `123. 993`. These values are classified as **post-data figure-level calibration results**, not as ex-ante validation and not as universal constants. The experimentally digitized bubble-density scans also identify discrete resonance sectors near: - `L = 1 → V/Δₗ ≈ 1. 0800`;- `L = 2 → V/Δₗ ≈ 2. 3334`;- `L = 3 → V/Δₗ ≈ 3. 2000`. Their shifts are not promoted to universal MAV-MCC residuals because the experimental ramp protocols differ between the sectors. ## Electronic Coherence Interface The **Electronic Coherence Interface**, abbreviated ECI, is introduced as a measurable intermediate layer. The canonical chain is: `unobserved generative condition → ECI → coupled physical substrate → boundary selection → observable residual`. In the Rydberg domain, the ECI is instantiated operationally through controlled electronic ground/Rydberg occupations, laser coupling, site-dependent detuning and van-der-Waals interaction. The ECI is not identified with the Base Mother or the Coherent Reference Substrate. It is not proposed as a new particle or fundamental interaction. It is an operational interface connecting an unobserved generative hypothesis to experimentally controlled electronic degrees of freedom. ## Conditional LOW rule The LOW rule is retained as a conditional domain operator, not as a universal ontology. When a declared regime satisfies the relevant deformation-over-retention condition, the primary signal may be sought in a complementary, weak-bias or deformation-release sector rather than in the region of maximum apparent power. For the Rydberg false-vacuum domain, the LOW coordinate is defined as: `qLOWRy = Δₗ / V = 1/ (V/Δₗ) `. The prospective Rydberg observable is: `ΔLOW (x) = log10γNéel (x) /γPQG (x) ` with: `x = V/Δₗ`. The frozen primary model is: `ΔLOW (x) = a + bx` over the predeclared interval: `10 ≤ x ≤ 25`. The request-specific primary verdict is: - **PASSPRIMARY: ** `b > 0`;- **FAILPRIMARY: ** `b ≤ 0`;- **UNRESOLVED: ** the required observable cannot be evaluated from the delivered data. Bootstrap confidence, residual spectral power and other stability controls are robustness diagnostics and cannot replace or override the primary frozen verdict. The corresponding public prediction freeze is: `10. 5281/zenodo. 21341322`. ## Relational-time sector The release incorporates the cold-atom relational-time experiment as a controlled calibration and prospective testing sector for the 4T register. The domain distinguishes laboratory time from internal operational clocks constructed from subsystem dynamics and entropy exchange. The registered analysis includes: - laboratory-time and internal-time separation;- phase, interaction, retention and drift observables;- barrier-indexed dynamical regimes;- comparison between 4T-informed and reduced-time baselines;- normalized prediction error and model-selection diagnostics. The active prospective criterion is registered separately in the associated public freeze. The 4T register remains open to reduction: if a simpler single-time model provides equivalent or superior predictive performance, the temporal architecture must be simplified accordingly. ## Additional cross-domain calibrations The release includes two additional coherence-sensitive calibration branches. ### Photonic-crystal polariton supersolidity The polariton supersolid branch combines density modulation, translational-symmetry breaking and phase coherence in a driven-dissipative photonic-crystal system. The previously extracted millesimal coherent metric is retained as a calibration anchor. It is not treated as a universal physical constant. A separate pre-access RAW-data prediction remains active and prohibits threshold, region-of-interest, weighting or normalization changes after data access. ### Positronium diffraction The positronium branch records the diffraction of a bound electron–positron system through graphene as a coherent matter-wave calibration. The published experiment establishes positronium as a single diffracting quantum entity in the tested regime. The millesimal residual values deriv
