Survivor Field Theory
A Theoretical Physics Framework

A theory that shows its work — including the parts that didn't hold up.

Survivor Field Theory proposes that the laws of physics aren't fundamental — they're what's left standing after a competition among possible pre-geometric configurations. It's an active, unfinished framework: some of it is derived from first principles, some is still an open assumption, and one whole branch of it has already been tried and eliminated on the record.

Derived Partial / conditional Postulated Open Eliminated

Computed as a simple average across the eight postulates' own status breakdowns — the same method used on the full Derivation Dashboard, not a separate editorial estimate. Physicists wanting the real breakdown, postulate by postulate, should go to the dashboard directly.

What This Doesn't Claim (Yet)

No equations required. Five short pages walk from "why start before space and time exist at all" through to an honest account of what the theory can and can't claim right now — including a rename it earned the hard way.

Every claim in this theory is tagged: derived, partial, postulated, open, or eliminated. Nothing is presented as settled that isn't. The status page breaks this down postulate by postulate, in the same stratigraphic form as the bar above — for anyone who wants to see exactly where the solid ground ends.

A test built to confirm or kill one specific idea finally comes back positive — and a six-orders-of-magnitude sweep finds the rule for when a related safeguard starts to fail

A test built to confirm or kill one hypothesis finally comes back positive — the pattern decays exactly as predicted, pointing to a specific structural cause. A related discharge condition is confirmed on two more kinds of substrate, and a deliberate attempt to break it instead turns up a clean mathematical rule for when it gets harder to trigger. No status changes.
