v1 of the DAG gauge-structure research programme. Companion to"DAG — Substrate Sector, v11". Scope: speculative programme for deriving Standard-Model-like gaugestructure, three fermion generations, a Higgs-like mechanism, andnear-GUT-scale unification from the symmetries of an extended18-channel DAG substrate. Includes: effective field theory anddispersion relation; directional entanglement geometry (DEG)programme; extended (six axes × three colour) substrate; Axis-PairDoublet Hypothesis and conjectured SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1) emergence;generation assignment; verification of SM anomaly cancellation;DAG-modified Higgs potential; one-loop RG running; conjecturedDAG-TOE Lagrangian; falsifiable predictions; research roadmap;speculative cosmogony; constant-fixing analysis; and fourappendices (anomaly sums, Casimir invariants, substrate actionderivations, Steps 1–4 of the research roadmap). This document is explicitly labelled a research programme, not acompleted theory. Per the project's Revision.md protocol, claimsthroughout sit between heuristic and conjectural (classes 7–8).
