The Forced and the Chosen: The Tree of Reality's Declared Inputs, and the Plenitude of its Branches

The Forced and the Chosen. The Tree of Reality's declared inputs, and the plenitude of its branches. Companion to The Staked Gaps (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23338726) and The Tree of Reality (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23011897). Where The Staked Gaps pre-registered the theory's open problems, this paper pre-registers its DECLARED CHOICES, in three honest classes: (1) derivable postulates we predict the mathematics will force (POSTULATE to GENUINE); (2) proven forks that stay branches (the tree-of-life feature, machine-checked to admit coherent alternatives); and (3) PLENITUDE — the prediction that at every genuine fork all coherent branches are realised ('all that can be, becomes'), staked at its honest conjectural tier. Two distinctions are kept sharp so the bold claim stays rigorous: a convention (chirality) is not a new world, and a completeness-question (a possible fourth lineage) is not an alternative branch. The branches are predictions not yet computed; computing them is the sequel (Tree v2). Independent research, AI-collaborative, not peer-reviewed. Read in that light. Verify what catches your eye. Challenge what you doubt.
