Drift Taxonomy

• module.json — Agentic module schema role assignments

Overview#

The Drift Taxonomy is a structured system for identifying, classifying, and correcting mathematical and conceptual drifts in gravitational physics. It is designed to support the development of a unified meta‑paper that regularizes anomalies across ~200 highly cited works in general relativity, quantum gravity, cosmology, black hole physics, and modified gravity.

This directory contains the full workflow:

1. d_Capture.md — defines the ten universal drift types
2. d_Classify.md — classification template for ~200 papers
3. d_Operators.md — minimal algebraic corrections for each drift
4. d_Examples.md — corrections applied to ten representative works
5. d_Paper.md — assembled meta‑paper draft for publication

The taxonomy is framework‑neutral and uses only minimal algebraic operators. It does not reference TriadicFrameworks or RTT, ensuring compatibility with traditional academic venues.

Purpose#

Modern gravitational physics contains recurring anomalies:

• singularities
• non‑renormalizability
• dark matter and dark energy
• horizon paradoxes
• vacuum energy mismatch
• graviton non‑detection
• inflation field requirements
• scale‑dependent inconsistencies

These anomalies often arise not from physical contradictions but from regime drift—the application of mathematical operators outside their validated domains.

The Drift Taxonomy provides:

• a universal classification of drift types
• minimal operator corrections that regularize anomalies
• a representative example set for publication
• a single meta‑paper that addresses the entire corpus

Workflow#

1. Capture Drift Types#

Document the ten universal drift types:

• Scale
• Substrate
• Regime Imposition
• Interface
• Analogy
• Extension
• Symmetry
• Continuity
• Isolation
• Ontology

See d_Capture.md.

2. Classify the Literature#

Each of the ~200 papers receives:

• Regime tag
• Primary drift
• Secondary drifts
• Short notes

See d_Classify.md.

3. Apply Minimal Operator Corrections#

Each drift type has a corresponding algebraic correction:

• scale‑aware operators
• mixed‑substrate operators
• regime‑conditioned operators
• boundary operators
• analogy‑free operators
• domain‑restricted operators
• symmetry‑conditioned operators
• continuity‑conditioned operators
• coupled operators
• entity‑free operators

See d_Operators.md.

4. Demonstrate on Ten Representative Works#

Ten papers are selected to represent the entire corpus.
Corrections are applied to each, showing:

• singularity regularization
• graviton de‑necessitation
• dark matter replacement
• vacuum energy suppression
• horizon boundary correction
• symmetry tuning
• domain restriction

See d_Examples.md.

5. Assemble the Meta‑Paper#

The final paper includes:

• abstract
• drift taxonomy
• operator family
• ten representative corrections
• implications for remaining ~190 papers
• experimental predictions

See d_Paper.md.

Publication Plan#

The final paper will be submitted after:

1. Completing all drift classifications
2. Finalizing operator corrections
3. Recruiting at least two co‑authors
4. Adding full citations for all ~200 works
5. Internal review by the author team

Submission order:

1. arXiv
2. Zenodo
3. TriadicFrameworks (optional ecosystem integration)

Contributing#

Co‑authors may contribute by:

• classifying papers
• refining operator forms
• validating corrections
• adding domain‑specific examples
• preparing experimental test proposals

All contributions should follow the structure defined in this directory.
