Public chronology and technical convergence record

WCT Post-Date Overlap Ledger

The default view shows the top ten comparison records in exact rank order, without skipping ranks. The August 21 high-specificity sweep expands the ledger to 128 records, including 113 WCT / physics / photonics comparisons and 36 physics records scoring 9.0 or above. Chronology status remains separate from overlap rank.

Overlap is not provenance.The 0–10 Post-Date Overlap Score ranks density and specificity of technical correspondence. It is not a probability of influence, copying, derivation, misconduct, infringement, or scientific correctness.
The top table is rank-complete.Ranks 1 through 10 appear consecutively. Rows marked DATE-CHECKED have passed the chronology-normalization step used by the Priority & Provenance Registry; other rows remain comparison candidates until that separate audit is complete.

Top-ranked comparison records

Top 10 ranked overlap records

Ranks 1 through 10 are shown consecutively from the master comparison ledger. The Status column is independent of rank and indicates whether each record has completed chronology normalization, is under chronology review, or remains in the broader comparison ledger.

Interpretation boundary.Most records below have not been promoted through chronology and prior-art normalization. Inclusion means the work was identified as technically comparable; it does not establish priority, influence, derivation, copying, infringement, or validation.

Wave Confinement Theory

Physics, photonics, BEC, nonlinear-wave, plasma, and spectral overlap

The broader ledger includes stable localized nonlinear modes, curvature- and dispersion-dependent operators, nonlinear eigenstates, dissipative solitons, Swift–Hohenberg pattern selection, toroidal spectral geometry, cavity persistence, BEC ring traps, photonic time crystals, plasma confinement, log-periodic spectra, and related wave-confinement mechanisms.

Recursive AI Drift

AI-system post-date overlap

This section tracks later work overlapping the Recursive AI Drift research line, including multi-agent degradation, evolving memory, problem drift, reward hacking, verifier gaming, emergent misalignment, and bounded-maintenance requirements.
