MAV-MCC 4S+4T Unified General Theory — Foundational Formulation: Massless Generative Geometry, Primary Phase Network and Emergent-Time Projection

MAV-MCC 4S+4T Unified General Theory — Foundational Formulation presents the first consolidated foundational formulation of the MAV-MCC framework, organized around a 4S+4T internal generative geometry and the guiding principle: “Frequency first, matter later.” The formulation treats frequency, phase, coherence and coupling as primary dynamical structures, while observable matter, mass and effective spacetime behaviour arise through a lower-dimensional 3S+1T projection. In this sense, the framework develops a massless generative geometry: mass is not assumed as a primitive variable of the underlying construction, but appears as an emergent quantity after coherent dynamical organization and projection. The release introduces and freezes the current MAV-MCC CORE, including the 4S+4T register architecture, the Primary Phase Network (PPN), the distinction between native and projected dynamics, emergent-time readout, S4/T4 separation, projection-rank criteria, and the effective action connecting the PPN sector to observable fields. A central MAV-MCC relation retained in the foundational formulation is \[ m_{\rm MAV} = \frac{\hbar}{c^2} \left\langle \omega_{\rm native}\right\rangle , \] with the explicit requirement that the native frequency must be independently generated by the upstream dynamics and cannot be reconstructed from an already known mass and then presented as a prediction. The Higgs sector is treated as an effective component of the observable 3S+1T projection rather than as the assumed ontological origin of mass. The present action contains a pre-existing PPN–Higgs portal. A minimal one-loop radial stress test included in this release shows that this same interaction admits a perturbative region in which the Higgs quartic coupling remains non-negative up to the reduced Planck scale, without introducing an additional field or an ad hoc vacuum-stabilization operator. This result is classified as an architectural one-loop consistency result, not as a completed prediction of electroweak-vacuum stability. The release deliberately separates formal assumptions, structural derivations, calibration results, empirical tests, negative controls, failed tests and open predictions. Existing FAIL and NULL outcomes are preserved rather than removed or reinterpreted post hoc. The accompanying ledgers, equation register, freeze registry and SHA-256 manifest provide an auditable lineage for the formulation. This publication should therefore be read as a foundational theoretical release, not as a claim that every consequence of MAV-MCC has already been experimentally established. Its purpose is to define a sufficiently explicit and falsifiable architecture from which subsequent specialized tests and derivations can proceed. Planned next steps include: direct-S4 holdout tests during emergent-time readout arrest; independent C4 tests; preregistered tests of the 256-state / projected-sector correspondence in collider phase-space data; MAV-HIGGS holdout tests without retuning; completion of the LHCb #91 branch; Rydberg/T3 tests; and a full PPN electroweak renormalization-group treatment in which the PPN–Higgs portal coupling is constrained independently of the desired vacuum-stability outcome.
