How to Read and Stress-Test the Scalar Temporal Field Ontology A Forced-Order Reader Guide and Paradox Consistency Suite

This preprint defines the forced reading order for the Scalar Temporal Field Ontology (STFO) and presents a systematic suite of paradox-based consistency tests spanning thermodynamics, relativity, quantum measurement, nonlocality, artificial intelligence, and black hole information. The paper introduces no new axioms, couplings, or interpretive postulates. It functions as a structural certification document, identifying dependency relationships within the STFO corpus and diagnosing common misreadings arising from implicit reliance on external or parametric time. This document is intended as the primary entry point to the public STFO archive and provides a guided map to extended technical, empirical, and application-focused papers hosted separately.
