Dependencies

Established relativity (Kantowski & Sachs 1966; Kruskal–Szekeres; Bekenstein–Hawking; Almheiri et al. 2021), published Einstein–Cartan torsion (Popławski 2010/2016/2023), and within the body of work AP03 (the conjugacy of c and ρₚ) and AP20 (EH/QRA proved).

Dependents

AP41 (inherits the conjecture at Stage 6; KS-41.3 inherits KS-L0.1) and the downstream Notebook VI cosmology that treats the loop-closure step as conjectural and guarded.

Kill switches closed by this paper

None. KS-L0.1 through KS-L0.9 are introduced and remain live (four HARD: KS-L0.1, KS-L0.2, KS-L0.7, KS-L0.8; five EMPIRICAL: KS-L0.3, KS-L0.4, KS-L0.5, KS-L0.6, KS-L0.9).

Kill switches that remain live

All nine: KS-L0.1 through KS-L0.9.

Structural debts owed

D1 (isotropisation, KS-L0.8), D2 (CMB spectrum, KS-L0.9), D3 (the value of α; consistent with AP41’s structural underivability argument). All open.

Items held open without claiming debt status

The awareness identification (L6, Layer 3, falsifiable via KS-L0.6); the scale question (Layer 3); the interpretive identification of the electron and α (Step 6, not derived from the conjecture).
