Book V · v11.4.0 · 22 September 2026
The Universe Is Not Infinite — Who Pays for Gravity?
English harmonization — working draft. The public English counterpart to the consolidated French edition; scientific status and open problems remain explicit.
What v11.4 consolidates
One ledger, four statuses, no erased boundary.
FORMAL RESULT
Reduced homogeneous closure
GHC-1, GEC-1 and HBR-1 remain active on their declared zero-mode branch. HCR-1 is historical.
CONDITIONAL CLOSURE
Thermal and curvature extension
Thermal/radiative loading is primary; redshift is physical propagation and a possible secondary energetic channel. No universal percentage is claimed.
BOOKKEEPING DISCIPLINE
Four distinct quantities
Bulk response, boundary production, complete formation cost and newborn density are not interchangeable.
OPEN PROGRAMME
Cosmological lift
Boundary transport, distance–redshift, perturbations, growth, simulation and empirical calibration remain open.
TIME DOES NOT SLOW DOWN. MATTER CHANGES CADENCE.
