Declarations

contribution. The release is the explicit prescribed-background finite model, its calibration correction, its complete destructive instrument, its locality certificate, and its target-adapted null transport protocol. The appendix proves a classical lapse-composition formula and a compact rod-detection witness under stated hypotheses.

scope. The construction supplies a continuum classical metric and finite operational semantics. It does not supply microscopic within-tick dynamics, a quantum field-theoretic scaling limit, gravity-generated entanglement, a Page curve, a horizon, an island, or holographic emergence.

scope. Cheung's manuscripts are cited with identifiers and supplied versions. Source references motivate comparisons; they are not automatic transfers of models or proof hypotheses. Bibliographic descriptions for internal manuscripts are not invented publication titles or dates. The introductory philosophy and the directly accessed companion records are documentary sources, not a proof-checking service.

scope. No full inherited characteristic composition, joint section, transverse estimate package, contact gluing, or quantum output wavefront theorem is constructed. No inherited quantum coefficient is admitted. XV-B's downstream exit is not opened, XVI-N is not discharged, and O.1 remains NOT_CLOSED within this release.

scope. The source is self-contained for pdfLaTeX and requires no external figures or bibliography database. No successful compilation, proof-assistant check, independently executed symbolic calculation, laboratory realization, referee approval, or journal acceptance is asserted.
