The Tree of Reality: A Causal Cladogram from the Reflexive-Domain Seed to Physics, with Honest Status Tags Throughout

The Tree of Reality. A causal cladogram from the reflexive-domain seed to physics, with honest status tags throughout. Companion to The Shape of the Theory (Paper G, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.20661837). Maps how physics branches from nothing: Lawvere's reflexive domain D = (D → D) forces the seed M₂(ℂ), which cascades through endomorphism iteration and bifurcates into three independent lineages (END / AUT / ⟨·,·⟩), each independently producing a Connes spectral triple — co-evolved similarity, not convergence. Every claim wears one of seven status tags (PROVED / PARTIAL / CLAIMED / PREDICTED / SPECULATIVE / DOWNSTREAM / META). The May 2026 audit findings are stated openly; the genuinely Mathlib-backed core is enumerated explicitly. Includes the full predictions catalogue (17 falsifiable predictions, flagship: proton decay within Hyper-Kamiokande reach). Independent research, AI-collaborative, not peer-reviewed. Read in that light. Verify what catches your eye. Challenge what you doubt.
