The classical theory, background, clock, boundary condition, observable, and quadratic Hessian are fixed by explicit formulas. The quantum package is still incomplete.

InputRequired specificationPresent status
Action and backgroundEquations (eq:action)–(eq:vH).Specified
Relational observableClock-slice harmonic rods and (eq:lapse), with (eq:n1)–(eq:n2).Specified classically
Gauge fixingGauge fermion, auxiliary fields, ghost action, complete coupled quadratic operator, and its domain.Not constructed
Green distributionsRetarded and advanced inverses of that operator, causal propagator, Feynman convention, component normalization.Not constructed
State or parametrixIdentified two-point matrix with the required singular and spatial-decay properties.Not selected
Quantum insertionChoice of Wick/time-ordered representation and retained coupling and grading.Not completed
Graph correctionsComplete scaling, covariance, causal, and gauge-compatible classification.Not classified
Spatial imagesWell-defined image of those graph corrections through the observable construction.Not calculated
Quantum gauge identityBreaking term and its admissible repair at the retained order.Not verified

Linearized Einstein–scalar quantization is a separate construction with its own gauge and field-space hypotheses Hack. Naming that construction does not select a covariance for (eq:action) and does not prove the tail bounds needed here.
