What happens if we start at the beginning and require complexity to earn its way forward?
A dedicated bottom-up program separately tested Relativity, Gravity, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetism. Within the tested Core model, all five have crossed their ancestry thresholds without being inserted as complete mature starting theories.
The result is deliberately bounded. It means the model now contains traceable ancestry pathways sufficient to support recognizable behavior associated with all five domains under the tested conditions.
It does not establish that Core has empirically derived the laws of nature or replaced established physics.
Core began by asking whether stable localized organization could arise without assuming mature particles. The successful ancestry was then frozen and used as the starting point for the next level.
Within the computational model, the ancestry progressed through particle-like, atom-like, molecule-like and material-like organization, then continued into repair, memory, reconstruction, prediction, and primitive learning-like capability.
These results are model emergence findings. They are not empirical identification of actual particles, atoms, biological systems, or cognition.
Relativity, Gravity, Quantum Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Electromagnetism have each reached ANCESTRY EARNED — BOUNDED within the tested Core framework.

See what actually passed →Wake-tonian / IVD asks a methodological question: can familiar-looking trajectory, lensing, orbital, or large-scale organizational behavior arise through a traceable flow/wake/spin pathway when gravity is not granted as the starting mechanism?
Toy-model work has produced frequency-independent relational paths, lensing-like trajectory convergence, near-achromatic behavior, and exploratory filament/node/void organization.
The branch is not presented as a replacement for General Relativity or established gravitational physics. It is an ancestry case study examining whether mature-looking behavior can have more than one possible lower-level route.
Core is built as an ancestry ledger. A failed gate is not hidden or repaired retroactively simply because a preferred destination would be easier to reach without it.
Selected milestones, failed mechanisms, corrections, branch closures, and major earned checkpoints are preserved in the public archive.
The mathematics page records selected model diagnostics, threshold definitions, structural quantities, and quantitative tools used in the research.
The work demonstrates computational and toy-model pathways in which increasingly complex behavior can arise from constrained lower-level organization. Several important ancestries have now reached bounded earned status inside the model.
Empirical identification remains separate. Quantitative correspondence with established physical laws, measured constants, laboratory observations, and nature itself must be tested independently before any model ancestry can be promoted into a physical claim.
