Core Concepts of COR Theory
The Physical Bridge, Governing Anchor, and Complete Carrier
COR Theory relies on a precise conceptual vocabulary: the Physical Bridge ($J_{\text{phys}}$), the Governing Anchor ($D_{\text{anchor}}$), the Complete Carrier ($C_{\text{complete}}$), and Typed Nullity. These tools prevent semantic drift and ensure that formal mathematical objects are never conflated with physical entities.
Claim Boundary & Exclusions Audit
What Is Claimed (Within Scope)
- •The Physical Bridge J_phys connects formal Hilbert space vectors and operators to laboratory preparations and detectors.
- •The Governing Anchor D_anchor fixes the model class, bridge, physical equivalence, carrier, and scope prior to theorem evaluation.
- •Selected-output views must never be confused with complete-carrier equivalence.
What Is NOT Claimed (Prohibited Inferences)
- •Mathematical representations do not self-instantiate into physical reality.
Technical Exposition & Formulation
Formal representation in Hilbert space H is distinct from physical realization in a laboratory system, which is distinct from physical instantiation. COR explicitly indexes all results to D_anchor = (P_model, J_phys, sim_phys, C_complete, S_scope).
Formal Definitions
A 5-tuple defining the physical model class, physical bridge, equivalence relation, complete carrier, and theorem scope.
The explicit mapping connecting formal operators and states to admitted preparations, instruments, and calibrations.
Assumptions & Input Data
- J_phys is admitted and fixed before evaluation.
Declared Complete Carrier (K3)
Declared C_complete in D_anchor.
