The formal architecture proceeds in layers. A boundary map first determines which pre-boundary states remain compatible with an observed residue. An admissibility structure then determines which unresolved distinctions count as structurally meaningful. Local scalarization supplies numerical residues only at a subsequent stage, and a declared probability regime converts normalized residues into numerical probabilities. The Born rule occupies a narrower Hilbert-space layer within this progression rather than serving as the origin of the prior unresolved probability-status.

The boundary or readout map is written B: S_pre → S_B. States mapped to the same boundary-readable residue form a compatibility class. Boundary guarantee holds when an admissible proposition has a constant truth value across that class, boundary exclusion holds when the proposition is uniformly false, and boundary undetermination occurs when compatible states disagree about the proposition.
An admissibility structure constrains allowable propositions, resolution contexts, scalar-neutral resolution relations, permitted redescriptions, and presentation changes. These restrictions prevent unresolved alternatives from being generated through arbitrary relabeling or subdivision. Recoverability-relevant loss is defined relative to the distinction under examination rather than by generic non-injectivity of the boundary map.
A finite admissible scalar-neutral resolution relation partitions a declared compatibility domain into structurally grounded alternatives without assigning weights, rankings, frequencies, measures, stochastic laws, or Born values. When at least two such alternatives remain unrecoverable from the common residue and their status is preserved under admissible redescription, they define a representative-invariant boundary-unresolved quotient status. This status is the restricted technical meaning assigned to pre-numerical probability-status.
The Boundary-Loss Non-Guarantee Theorem states that when admissible states sharing the same residue disagree on a proposition, that residue neither guarantees nor excludes the proposition. Loss of predictive guarantee therefore arises at the readout layer even when the underlying pre-boundary structure remains deterministic.
The Boundary-Loss Unresolved Quotient Status Theorem adds a finite admissible scalar-neutral resolution relation. When the relation generates multiple admissible alternatives whose distinction cannot be recovered from the residue, and presentation-equivalence conditions are satisfied, the resulting context defines a representative-invariant boundary-unresolved quotient status. The associated pre-numerical context remains scalar-neutral and carries no numerical probability assignment.
Numerical probability requires an additional realization-dependent scalarization rule. Each admissible alternative receives a nonnegative scalar residue, and a finite nonzero total permits normalization through n_i = s_i/S_F. These normalized residues become formal probability assignments only within an explicitly declared probability regime. Equivalent presentations additionally require compatibility under admissible redescription, refinement, or coarsening.
The quantum specialization introduces a complex Hilbert space, normalized state, projective resolutions or effects, positivity, orthogonal additivity, refinement invariance or noncontextuality, regularity, and normalization. Under these conditions, the local numerical assignment takes the Born form p_i = ⟨Ψ,P_iΨ⟩. The Born rule therefore enters after the structural boundary-unresolved status and after the additional scalarization requirements needed for numerical probability.
The scalar-neutral level contains unresolved alternatives without weights or measures. A local realization regime supplies nonnegative scalar residues whose finite nonzero total permits normalization. A declared probability regime then permits those normalized residues to function as a finite probability assignment. In the Hilbert-space specialization, the additional requirements of normalized quantum states, projectors or effects, positivity, additivity, refinement or noncontextuality conditions, regularity, and normalization yield p_i = ⟨Ψ,P_iΨ⟩.
Deterministic compatibility is preserved throughout this hierarchy because the loss responsible for pre-numerical probability-status occurs at the boundary or readout layer. Physical realization remains conditional on an independently supplied domain satisfying the required boundary, admissibility, recoverability, and scalarization structures.

The formal architecture combines the Primordial Wave Equation (PWE), the LUWF, the compression operator ℂ[Ψ], the LUWF-derived compression scalar, the Lawrence Compression Singularity Root (LCSR), and the Lawrence Amplitude Functional Framework (LaFF). Within this structure, Born-rule weights are obtained from an energy-share construction, compression dynamics govern observable stabilization, and compression-derived scalar structure couples to curvature. The framework also defines limiting connections to linear quantum dynamics and weak-field gravitational behavior, together with computational and observational adjudication procedures.

The PWE is the operative deterministic compression-dispersion evolution law. One stated canonical form is iħ∂Ψ/∂t = -(ħ²/2m_eff)ΔΨ + βℂ[Ψ]Ψ, in which ordinary wave dispersion is supplemented by the real multiplicative compression operator ℂ[Ψ]. Recursive action of the compression structure suppresses high-variance harmonic components and drives ensembles toward compression-stable configurations.
The LUWF-derived compression scalar is kept distinct from the compression operator and is given in one stated form by C_s(x) = -ln(|Ψ(x)|/√ρ₀). The scalar supplies a local compression quantity used in curvature, collapse, and optical-metric mappings. The LCSR provides the curvature-scaling relation associated with compression structure, while LaFF supplies a variational formulation used for resolving-window dynamics, continuity, and conservation analysis. The compression monotone S_comp provides a directional criterion for the evolution of compression-stable configurations.
The probability construction is formulated through normalization, non-contextuality, refinement additivity or σ-additivity on disjoint refinements, continuity, and an energy-share relation connecting branch energy to Hilbert-space weight. Under these conditions, the outcome assignment is p_i = ⟨Ψ,P_iΨ⟩, with rank-one channels reducing to p_i = |c_i|². The construction is also described as extending to POVMs through dilation.
Deterministic harmonic truncation removes high-variance components and supplies the mechanism used for collapse, observable stabilization, and ensemble convergence. Compression gradients are associated with collapse thresholds, while the post-collapse LUWF preserves compression lineage. The resulting dynamics are described with continuity and no-instantaneous-signaling conditions under the stated multiplicative and locality assumptions.
Gravity is formulated through a scalar-tensor action in which the LUWF-derived compression scalar couples to curvature. Covariant conservation follows from the diffeomorphism-invariant coupled construction, and LaFF supplies the associated variational and continuity structure. In the optical-metric sector, the local phase-speed relation is expressed as c(x)² = U(x), with U(x) also written as T(x)/C(x).
The same compression architecture is applied to dark-matter-like halo behavior, dark-energy or compression-gradient structure, cosmic acceleration, frame-dragging corrections, nonlocal correlations without instantaneous signaling, and black-hole reabsorption or information behavior. Additional described applications include gravitational-wave modulation and other compression-based field or interaction sectors.
In the weak-compression regime, the PWE approaches the linear Schrödinger equation with a stated window-uniform convergence or error bound. The gravitational sector is linearized in the weak-field regime. The relation C_s = 2Φ/c² is used in the static weak-field description, and the temporal and spatial response coefficients are given as κ_T = 1 and κ_S = -1 in the stated Newtonian metric recovery.
The resulting weak-field formulation reproduces the stated Newtonian metric behavior and leading-order gravitational effects including light bending, Shapiro delay, and gravitational redshift. In the optical formulation, c(x)² = U(x) reduces to the ordinary vacuum light-speed limit when the compression contribution vanishes. These connections are presented within their specified weak-field and eikonal domains.
