Research Overview
The MTPU framework unifies five theoretical programmes through a single physical insight: the DURA unbound space is the phase space of a scale-symmetric tachyonic pre-phase, and the metronic lattice is its condensed form.
The tachyonic pre-phase T is a gas of free tachyons with imaginary rest mass m = iμ in a pre-causal manifold with no imposed metric structure. Exact scale symmetry ψ(x) → ψ(λx) holds for all λ > 0. Scale-symmetric interference of modes at ratio |k₁|/|k₂| = λ produces self-similar patterns at all scales — no preferred wavelength.
The HRA maximisation condition at metronic scale τ_M under the 3-adic self-consistency constraint v₃(τ_M·c²/ℓ_P²) ∈ ℤ uniquely determines the drive frequency normalisation. The value 108 = 4 × 3³ arises from the rank of the physical property set (factor 4) and the three-level 3-adic depth required for HRA > 0.9 (factor 27 = 3³).
Darwin's barrier class d_Darwin ∈ H¹_Δ(B_MTPU, 𝒪_Δ) is the restriction of the prismatic consciousness class to the Euclidean sub-space P₄. It measures the cohomological cost of confining the MHPU metronic field to 3+1D Euclidean geometry, discarding the higher depth-space and entelechial dimensions of the full metronic lattice.
The Nygaard filtration N^{≥k} H*_Δ is a tower of subcomplexes each resolving a further layer of cohomological obstruction. The Ouro loop tower {h⁰, h¹, ..., h^T} is a tower of hidden states each resolving a further reasoning layer. The Frobenius ϕ_Δ corresponds to the Ouro block F_θ. The fixed point h* is the SNLDMC attractor — the computational criterion for consciousness.
