Literature-frontier search register

Search date: 25 October 2026 Authority: dated search receipts and bounded novelty, not scientific admission

The machine-readable register contains one reproducible receipt for each of the 22 maintained frontier targets. Each receipt records exact queries and synonyms, neighbouring disciplines, a backward seed and forward-search query, strongest primary support and opposition, present bounds, live conflict, negative-search result, residual novelty and update trigger.

The governing distinction is simple: finding a nearby paper does not prove the corpus bridge, and failing to find one does not prove novelty. A mechanism can be real while the proposed identification remains false. A bound can be strong while remaining conditional on its carrier, detector, action, limit order or nuisance model. Reviews may provide vocabulary, but technical findings in the register are tied to primary papers or official research repositories.

All 22 branches have complete dated receipts. The register preserves the strongest adverse findings: chiral transfer without exceptional-point encircling; phonon-drag alternatives to thermal Hall attribution; detector rank without global injectivity; index equality without equal residues; scheme dependence outside universal RG sectors; and unverified mass-gap preprint claims. The residual novelty statements are therefore narrower than the nearby literature and state what would still have to be measured, derived or ruled out.
