Which step is filed? Three doors, not a ranking

Reading note · 2026-09-08: This page’s live public ruler is the three doors (still 1/3). Older navigation said “ahead of peers”; that trophy reading is withdrawn. The 2026-07-20 T1–T9 table (own mean 8.111) is archival. Genesis-tip language is not cosmogenesis payment (physical_genesis_truth=false).
In one line: we have not “explained how the universe began”. But under three hard gates that every programme must face, we have handed in a checkable homework for the “how a readable record forms” gate — most listed comparison programmes have not, under the same strict reading. That is a narrow advantage, not a grand slam.
Cold water first:

1. What are we trying to do?

Standard cosmology is excellent at: what the sky looks like (fitting data).

QNM asks one more step: can those readouts be traced from a disclosed generative rulebook, step by step, in a way outsiders can audit and try to falsify — rather than tune after the fact?

So we compare who handed in homework on which step, not who has more citations.

2. Why one shared ruler?

Private scoreboards make every team “first.” We published a shared checklist and score our track and peers (no-boundary, GFT, causal sets, …) with the same questions. Only then is an “advantage” meaningful — and criticisable.

3. Three hard gates (like building a house)

① Dynamics — still open Own: FAIL
Most peers: FAIL

FAIL here means this house-gate is not closed. It does not mean no native dynamics object exists. On the internal Standard A native-dynamics cell, QNM is 1 (scoped, unpaid); several review peers are also 1; nobody is 2.

② Record — we passed Own: PASS (Soft Hold B1)
Most peers: FAIL

Is there a checkable classical record / pointer structure — not just the slogan “it classicalises”?

③ Branch choice — still open Own: FAIL
Most peers: FAIL

Why our branch among many histories? Selection must weld to paid dynamics.

All three are needed before anyone may claim cosmogenesis closure. Today: 1 pass, 2 fail → written as 1/3. Listed peers are often 0/3 on the same ruler.

What the advantage actually is

Not “we are closer to the whole truth,” but: on leaving a checkable record, we filed public, killable, comparable intermediate work; many famous narratives still cannot pass that strict question.

4. What is Soft Hold?

Roughly: a soft stage + record rule — the theory must support a readable record structure, not only abstract equations. B1 is one sealed homework block (acceptance bars + kill controls). Passing it pays the record gate; it does not finish the building.

5. Do peers have nothing?

No. On other rulers:

QuestionWho looks stronger today
What does the sky look like?ΛCDM / standard cosmology
How dense is generative dynamics shape?Often GFT-like programmes
Selection-shape language?Often no-boundary / tunneling
Record / classicality homework filed?Own track has a narrow lead (Soft Hold B1)
Literature shape density (T1–T9 mean)?A 2026-07-20 archival snapshot reports own mean 8.111. That table is not this page’s three-door 1/3, not Standard A/B payment, and not a live ranking.
Generative slice T1+T2?Same archival snapshot. Do not read it as the live house-gate or as cosmogenesis payment.
Full cosmogenesis closed?Nobody

This page’s live public ruler is the three-door house: hard Tier-U 1/3. Intermediate / literature composites (including the 2026-07-20 T1–T9 Official Fair Edition, own mean 8.111) are archival shape-density snapshots — not the main peer rank and not cosmogenesis payment. The 2026-07-19 public reading “Tier-U all 0/3 / Soft Hold unpaid / mean ≈4.778” is superseded by Soft Hold B1 and this page.

6. FAQ

Q: Is 1/3 = 33% cosmogenesis complete?
A: No. It means one of three hard gates.

Q: Are other theories “wrong”?
A: No. Comparison is not denigration.

Q: Did you invent a ruler to flatter yourselves?
A: The three-door house is disclosed and shared. A 2026-07-20 T1–T9 shape-density table exists as an archive; it is not this page’s live ranking.

Q: What would count as real next progress?
A: Closing the two still-open house-gates: paid generative dynamics, and selection welded to paid dynamics. A Standard A native-dynamics cell at 1 is not that closure.

Q: Does mean 5.0 or 8.111 mean we “won”?
A: No ranking contest. Hard gates remain 1/3. Archival T1–T9 composites are not cosmogenesis payment.
