Executive Summary
Mission: Achieve complete mathematical formalization and empirical verification of the FIRM (Field-Identity Recursive Morphism) framework through systematic development, rigorous testing, and transparent validation.
Current Status: Foundation phase with 15/22 core modules tested (68% completion) and 99%+ coverage on critical components.
Next Milestone: Complete theory layer testing and begin experimental validation protocols.
Development Philosophy
CASCADE Methodology
Our development follows the CASCADE approach:
- Comprehensive - Every component fully tested
- Axiomatic - Built from first principles
- Systematic - Methodical progression through layers
- Cumulative - Each layer builds on verified foundations
- Auditable - Complete transparency and traceability
- Demonstrable - Empirically verifiable predictions
- Evolutionary - Continuous refinement and improvement
Foundation & Theory Mastery
We prioritize the foundational mathematical structures first, creating a "cascade effect" where solid foundations enable robust theoretical development. This approach ensures:
- Mathematical rigor from the ground up
- Systematic verification of all components
- Traceability of every theoretical claim
- Reproducible computational validation
