This note states the methodological boundaries and integrity disclosures for the companion film QNM cosmic evolution: Birth to Death, for reviewers, republication, and reproducibility. The Chinese text is in Supplementary_Material_QNM_cosmic_evolution_Birth_to_Death_ZH.md; this English file is the section-by-section counterpart, with aligned disclosureThis file is English-only; for Chinese abstract or video blurbs, see §6.11 and §7 in the Chinese counterpart.

Associated video (typical output name): QNM_cosmic_evolution_Birth_to_Death.mp4 Primary implementation (this branch): 05_Core_Source_Code/Emergent_Sphere/V/UB/make_grand_unified_universe_UN.py Frame encoding (no physics change): encode_grand_unified_UN.py Standalone integrity audit (Chinese): V/UB/output/UB_可视化来源审计报告_学术诚信.md — §6 matches its technical conclusions (§0 summary includes §2-aligned items on temporal origin); for submission, include §6, that file, or both. Revise them together when the pipeline or disclosure text changes. Extended model vs convention table (English, same folder): V/UB/ACADEMIC_DISCLOSURE.md

Scope: Below we separate numerical simulation on the main view from conventions, tuning, illustrative insets, and mock content in the four-act film (quantum genesis → inflation → cosmic web → holographic heat death), cross-checked against the V/UB source as of March 2026. If other paths in the repository carry older prose, the executable code under V/UB and this note prevail.

1. What this video is (and is not)

Is

Is not

1.1 Models and dependencies (at a glance)

2. Temporal mapping (video time vs physics narrative)

Dynamical origin vs on-screen labels. The pipeline’s numerical starting point is the onset of the Act I matrix integration (the run that defines  and  for Acts II–IV). That is model integration time / step indexing, not—without an explicit construction in the main text—a literal identification with a unique observational clock reading (e.g. ). Phrases such as “Planck-like” on screen are pedagogical narrative anchors on a standard-cosmology timeline for the viewer; they must not be read as  or as one-to-one correspondence with Planck satellite data products.

Playback uses piecewise mapping (different acts compress or stretch intervals) so that narrative stages analogous to Planck-like, inflation-like, structure-formation, and far-future epochs fit in ~110 s at 30 fps. On-screen text indicates the intended epochexact  for publication-grade plots should be taken from the engine or main text, not inferred from frame count alone.

Optional cosmic_evolution_video_data.json (A/R) can drive UI labels when present; precomputed macro_traj / heat_death_traj are generated before the matplotlib loop and are not re-fit to that JSON.

3. Act-by-act summary (aligned with make_grand_unified_universe_UN.py)

3.1 Act I — Quantum genesis

3.2 Act II — Inflation (bridge)

3.3 Act III — Cosmic web

3.4 Act IV — Holographic heat death

5. Methodology boundary table (compact)

5.2 Convention / tuning / RNG / visual

5.3 Fitting (separate from main film)

6. Visualization provenance and integrity audit (line-by-line against source)

From §6.1 onward, this section matches the technical conclusions of V/UB/output/UB_可视化来源审计报告_学术诚信.md; entries summarize in-repo source and symbols only, with no undisclosed external datasets. When the implementation or disclosure text is updated, that attachment and this §6 will be maintained together.

6.1 Document nature, scope, and method

Nature: A line-by-line checklist of the visualization pipeline source under 05_Core_Source_Code/Emergent_Sphere/V/UB, suitable for preprint uploads with the paper/code/video or as a Supplementary Note / Data & Code README. Scope: V/UB including output/, 备份/, etc. Audit date: 2026-03-20 (per files in this submission package). Method: Read make_grand_unified_universe_UN.py and sibling helper scripts; cross-check ACADEMIC_DISCLOSURE.md, RESEARCH_VISUALIZATION_SPEC.md; executable UB code prevails over filenames or prose from other branches without implementation.

Not legal advice: This section is technical integrity disclosure only; preprint-platform compliance is governed by author and publisher policy.

6.2 Summary for reviewers and republication (five bullets)

6.3 Key terms (avoid conflation)

TermMeaning in this sectionComputed / simulationSequences from stepping equations with given ICs and constants, possibly with RNG phases; not parameters inverted to match observations.FittingOptimizing parameters on given points (polyfit, least squares, Bayesian inference); polyfit in §6.9 helpers falls here.Tuning / conventionHuman-chosen constants for stability, visibility, or narrative; disclosed as not observational fitting (aligned with ACADEMIC_DISCLOSURE), not a claim of unique N=21 analytic derivation.Illustrative / mockLooks like data but is noise or rules; in public wording it should not be called real data or full first-principles CMB.

6.4 Main 3D (four acts): what is simulated vs conventional

If a future revision calls this routine, this supplementary note and ACADEMIC_DISCLOSURE.md will be updated accordingly.

6.9 Helper scripts (summary)

6.10 Relation to neighbouring documents

6.11 Public wording guidance (preprint / video blurb)

Suggested wording for English abstracts, video descriptions, or talk intros:

The film’s main 3D sequence is generated by numerically integrating the N=21 matrix dynamics and evolving macroscopic tracers in a potential sourced by the matrix end-state, with an expansion-rate sequence tied to the same run’s complexity-derived  (with disclosed unit/step mapping and numerical tuning). Inset panels include standard-ΛCDM reference curves, mock scatter, and illustrative CMB texture; these are not observational datasets. No likelihood fit to survey data is performed in this rendering pipeline.

Easy to misread (avoid or narrow the claim)

6.16 Note

This section summarizes only sources and documents distributed with the package. If a reproduction run uses parameters, environment variables, or dependency versions other than the defaults assumed here, behavior is governed by that run. When the implementation changes, this file, ACADEMIC_DISCLOSURE.md, and the integrity attachment in the same folder will be updated <strong>with</strong> the code.

7. Short blurb (video description or poster one-liner)

Aligned with §6.11; wording to avoid — end of §6.11. For the Chinese one-liner, see §7 in the Chinese counterpart.

The main 3D sequence is produced by numerical simulation: matrix dynamics in Act I and Lagrangian tracer evolution in Acts III–IV in the potential and  sequence tied to the same Act I run. Inset panels include standard ΛCDM reference curvesmock supernovae, and an illustrative CMB texture. No likelihood fit to galaxy-survey data is performed in this rendering pipeline.
