Plugin readiness dashboard
Contract gates and public readiness checklist for ArcSecs review surfaces
A compact public dashboard showing which public contracts are ready, what the integration reader should consume, and the next ordered implementation queue for the ArcSecs physics engine demo and Dark Matter Drive simulator.
Direct answer
What is ready now
The public contracts are staged. The integration reviewer can load them later without replacing existing simulator behavior.
The public framework, Distance-Time Kernel, Event Lab, Event Theater, TypeScript source index, Export Schema Stubs, Export Builder Contract, and integration contract are ready as source contracts. This dashboard collects those pieces into one work queue for the external integration reviewer.
The next plugin slice should add the Distance-Time mode and Event Theater selector beside the existing ArcSecs demo behavior, then export distance, chronology, wavefront, delay-budget, claim, validation, falsification, and schema-complete evidence telemetry.

Readiness gates
What is ready for implementation
Each gate is a concrete checkpoint the integration reviewer can use before writing simulator code.
Contract endpoints are published
The plugin agent needs stable JSON contracts before wiring the ArcSecs demo and Dark Matter Drive simulator.
Evidence and validation
- /distance-time-kernel.json
- /framework-event-lab.json
- /multi-messenger-event-theater.json
- /arcsecs-typescript-source-index.json
- /arcsecs-plugin-agent-handoff.json
- /arcsecs-export-schema-stubs.json
All public contract URLs are listed in robots, head alternates, handoff JSON, export schema stubs, and this readiness dashboard.
Framework source documents are preserved
The simulator should point back to the long-term framework material rather than inventing undocumented assumptions.
Evidence and validation
- /docs/report-new-universe-framework-time-and-distance.md
- /docs/report-rethinking-cosmic-measurement-framework.md
- /docs/report-arcsecs-perspective-research-report.md
- /assets/docs/new-universe-framework-time-and-distance.pdf
- /assets/docs/rethinking-cosmic-measurement-framework.pdf
- /assets/docs/arcsecs-perspective-research-report.pdf
Source reports are included in library metadata, claim maps, Evidence Map, and plugin handoff source_documents.
Distance without lightyears is layered
The demo needs distance truth sources that are not based on invariant light speed.
Evidence and validation
- parsec/parallax kernel
- gravitational-wave standard-siren kernel
- event-theater distance anchors
- proper-motion-ready contract fields
Distance-Time Kernel layers include parallax/parsec distance and gravitational-wave standard-siren distance.
Clockless chronology is layered
The demo needs a universal progression lane that is not sourced from cesium-clock or local oscillator behavior.
Evidence and validation
- relational chronology kernel
- UniversalChronologySystem handoff
- atomic oscillator drift claim card
- gravity/background synchronizer language
Kernel and handoff contracts distinguish chronology truth sources from local clock readouts.
Multi-messenger scenes are ready
The strongest public demo will show gravity first and light later/weaker/redder with delay budgets visible.
Evidence and validation
- GW170817
- GW150914
- GW190521
- Supernova light-curve stretch
- Hubble tension residuals
Event Theater contract contains scene goals, delay budgets, counterpart confidence, validation checks, export targets, and fail conditions.
Export schema stubs are ready
The plugin agent needs stable export targets before wiring Benchmark JSON, Calibration Certificate, Quality Gate, Evidence Packet, Research Bundle, and Scene JSON buttons.
Evidence and validation
- /arcsecs-export-schema-stubs.json
- ExportSchemaContracts.ts
- Benchmark JSON
- Calibration Certificate
- Quality Gate
- Evidence Packet
- Research Bundle
- Scene JSON
Export schema stubs list required fields, telemetry blocks, validation rules, traceability chain, TypeScript interfaces, and default filenames.
Export-builder handoff is ready
The plugin agent now has a mapping from live kernel, event, claim, validation, and quality-gate telemetry into the seven export targets.
Evidence and validation
- /arcsecs-export-builder-handoff.json
- ExportBuilderHandoff.ts
- docs/arcsecs-plugin-export-builder-handoff.md
- tests/export-builder-handoff-validation.js
Export-builder handoff validates all seven export targets, live telemetry source blocks, quality-gate dependencies, and source contracts.
Strict TypeScript guardrails are ready
The plugin agent can share implementation safely with other AI agents only if contracts are typed and deterministic.
Evidence and validation
- assets/ts/arcsecs-physics-engine/*.ts
- no any rule
- no jQuery rule
- typed fetch contract rule
- finite-number guard rule
TypeScript source index includes strict bridge files and the handoff declares TypeScript implementation rules.

Project hypothesis / geometry-first implementation
Distance without lightyears
Do not use lightyears as the primary distance primitive when light speed is treated as a variable messenger. Use parsec/parallax geometry, angular coordinates, proper motion, and gravitational-wave standard sirens instead.
Long-term source:
Absolute Relational Distance: Calculating Space Without Lightyears
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add parsec/parallax distance mode, angular-node coordinates, proper-motion velocity calculation, and standard-siren distance telemetry to the ArcSecs physics engine.
Demo behavior:Expose a distance-mode selector that shows parsec/parallax and gravitational-wave standard-siren distances beside any optical-light estimate.
Project hypothesis / geometry-first metrology
Parsec-centric distance stack
Treat parsecs, arcseconds, parallax, proper motion, square parsecs, cubic parsecs, megaparsecs, and gigaparsecs as the native distance and density stack instead of using lightyears as the truth unit.
Long-term source:
The Parsec: Pure Geometric and Relational Metrology; Kinematics on the Parsec Scale
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add parsec-native distance, area, and volume telemetry to the Distance-Time Kernel and ensure optical light-travel estimates remain secondary messenger fields.
Demo behavior:Show a distance-without-lightyears panel that converts angular geometry into parsecs, velocity into parsecs per million years, and regions into square/cubic parsec densities.
Project hypothesis / simulator clock architecture
Clockless universal time
Do not treat local atomic clocks as the fundamental universal clock when local particles and clock mechanisms may be affected by gravity or substrate conditions. Use global relational state progression instead.
Long-term source:
Universal Clockless Time: Establishing Chronology Without Paradoxes
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add engine time modes for York-time-style global state, GLET/Jacobi-Barbour-Bertotti relational change, Janus Point complexity, CMB cooling, and gravitational-wave-background synchronization.
Demo behavior:Replace a single clock readout with a Universal Chronology panel that compares relational tick, complexity index, background synchronizer, and local clock drift.
Project hypothesis / multi-messenger pressure test
Decoupled gravitational and electromagnetic messengers
Use gravitational waves as the clean arrival baseline while modeling electromagnetic radiation as a secondary messenger that may carry source delay, environmental delay, velocity attenuation, and energy degeneration.
Long-term source:
Decoupled Propagation: Modeling Light Slowing and the Covarying Cosmos
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Keep separate GravityWavefront and PhotonWavefront entities, then compute arrival residuals after subtracting intrinsic source and environmental terms.
Demo behavior:Visualize gravity arrival first, electromagnetic arrival later, and a residual lane that distinguishes source mechanics from possible propagation history.
Reference point / calibration caution
GW170817 as the clean benchmark event
GW170817 should be used as the benchmark because it has gravitational-wave detection followed by a gamma-ray/kilonova counterpart, but its observed electromagnetic delay should not be collapsed into pure vacuum propagation delay.
Long-term source:
Gravitational Waves as Standard Sirens; Decoupled Propagation
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Seed the simulator with an event card that separates observed delay into source term, environment term, and residual propagation term.
Demo behavior:Add GW170817 as the default tutorial event for explaining why source delay and propagation delay must be separated before fitting light-slowing constants.
Reference point / debated association
GW150914 as counterpart-caution case
GW150914 is useful because the gravitational-wave detection is historic while the proposed gamma-ray association is debated, making it a test case for false-positive and counterpart-quality labels.
Long-term source:
Decoupled Propagation; multi-messenger reference points
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Attach confidence labels to every electromagnetic counterpart before the propagation model is allowed to learn from the event.
Demo behavior:Show GW150914 with a disputed-counterpart badge so users understand why event quality matters as much as delay magnitude.
Reference point / environmental separation
GW190521 as dense-environment diffusion case
GW190521 is useful because a possible optical flare in an AGN environment makes the local environment a dominant candidate delay term before any universal light-slowing term is inferred.
Long-term source:
Decoupled Propagation; multi-messenger reference points
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Model AGN/environment diffusion as a separate term so the engine does not mistake dense local astrophysics for universal propagation history.
Demo behavior:Show GW190521 as the tutorial event for environmental opacity, diffusion, and delayed optical flare interpretation.
Project hypothesis / hard pressure test
Supernova time dilation as messenger distortion
Treat supernova light-curve stretching as the key historical weakness that any tired-light or light-slowing model must reproduce without invoking literal time dilation.
Long-term source:
Simulating Time Dilation as an Optical Illusion
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add a supernova-light-curve mode that stretches photon arrival intervals through path-dependent electromagnetic velocity and energy history while keeping the relational simulation clock global.
Demo behavior:Give users a slider that compares standard expansion-style stretching against ArcSecs messenger-distortion stretching and highlights residuals.
Project hypothesis / research program
Hubble tension as optical propagation history question
Frame Hubble tension as a possible mismatch between optical propagation history and distance/chronology baselines, not only as a question of pure metric expansion.
Long-term source:
Decoupled Propagation; CCC+TL Mathematical Architecture
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Compare gravitational-wave standard-siren distances, parsec/geometry anchors, redshift-derived optical distances, and simulated light-energy history in the same telemetry panel.
Demo behavior:Add a Hubble Tension lab card that lets users compare optical redshift history against gravitational/geometry baselines.
Project hypothesis / plugin implementation contract
Cosmic measurement plugin bridge
The ArcSecs plugin should calculate distance through parsec geometry and gravitational-wave anchors, calculate chronology through invariant relational ticks, and treat optical light and local clocks as secondary telemetry.
Long-term source:
Measuring the Universe; Multi-Messenger Astrophysics as Calibration Anchors; Enterprise Architecture
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Bind /distance-time-kernel.json, /framework-event-lab.json, /multi-messenger-event-theater.json, and assets/ts/arcsecs-physics-engine source contracts into the plugin agent for the ArcSecs demo and Dark Matter Drive simulator.
Demo behavior:Add a source-contract panel that shows which TypeScript system, kernel layer, event scene, and fail condition drive the current demo mode.
Project hypothesis / calibration detail
GW170817 vacuum-latency calibration split
GW170817 should not be reduced to a raw 1.7-second light delay. The report separates the delay into a small modeled vacuum latency and a dominant source-delay term.
Long-term source:
GW170817: The Primary Calibration Anchor
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add default telemetry fields for observed delay, modeled vacuum latency, source delay, attenuation coefficient, and inclusion/exclusion from global light-slowing fits.
Demo behavior:Show GW170817 with observed delay near 1.7 seconds, modeled vacuum latency near 0.020 seconds, and source delay near 1.68 seconds so the user can see the subtraction.
Project hypothesis / simulator clock model
Atomic clocks as local oscillator telemetry
The simulator should model cesium-clock differences as local atomic-oscillator behavior affected by gravity/substrate conditions rather than literal slowing of universal time.
Long-term source:
Reassessing Absolute Time and Quantum Gravitational Damping
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add AtomicOscillatorSystem telemetry that samples local gravity/substrate density and reports oscillator drift beside the invariant global tick.
Demo behavior:Show local clock drift as a physical oscillator readout while the universal chronology lane remains stable.
Project hypothesis / framework support
Teleparallel torsion gravity as flat-force model
Model gravity as a flat/torsion-style relational force lane rather than as literal curvature of material spacetime.
Long-term source:
Teleparallel Gravity and the Relational Geometry of the Void
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Keep simulator language aligned with torsion, translational gauge force, relational graph edges, and non-spacetime force visualization rather than metric-fabric deformation.
Demo behavior:Use this as the source claim for viewport labels, gravity vector overlays, and plugin caution language when comparing standard curvature explanations to ArcSecs torsion-style behavior.
Project hypothesis / photon-lane support
Massive Proca photons and vacuum dispersion
Treat electromagnetic light as a path-dependent Proca-style messenger whose propagation can vary by frequency, energy, and medium history instead of using light as the universal ruler.
Long-term source:
Massive Electromagnetism: The Proca Formulation; Vacuum Dispersion and the Subjugation of the Speed of Light
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Bind photon rest-mass, wavelength-dependent delay, energy degeneration, and finite telemetry guards into PhotonWavefront and export payload caveats.
Demo behavior:Use this to support redder/weaker/later photon-lane visuals in the Event Theater and Distance-Time Kernel.
Project hypothesis / medium-interaction support
Mass-Polariton momentum transfer as light-medium interaction
Use Mass-Polariton and Abraham-Minkowski momentum-transfer framing to explain why light-medium interaction can be treated as mechanical substrate exchange in the simulator.
Long-term source:
The Momentum Transfer Dilemma in Dispersive Media; The Mass-Polariton Resolution and Optoelastic Dynamics
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Use source-linked caveats for Proca substrate drag, ramscoop intake, density-field fuel interaction, and optical medium effects.
Demo behavior:Support propulsion and ramscoop explanatory cards that show energy/momentum transfer without claiming laboratory validation of the full drive concept.
Project hypothesis / dark-sector reinterpretation
Graviball / slow-quanta dark substrate hypothesis
Frame the dark-sector substrate as a speculative freeze-out endpoint of degraded massive light, producing optically invisible slow quanta or graviball condensate.
Long-term source:
Kinetic Degradation and the Phase Transition to Dark Matter
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Tie dark-sector metrology, ship fuel density, dark matter drive intake, and tired-light energy ledgers to explicit source links and falsification cautions.
Demo behavior:Show substrate-density and fuel-availability overlays as simulator hypotheses rather than proof of a real dark matter composition.
Project hypothesis / analogy support
Stationary-light and dark-state polariton analogy
Use stationary-light and dark-state-polariton ideas as analogy support for delayed, trapped, or converted light-energy behavior, with clear boundaries between analogy and drive validation.
Long-term source:
The Stationary Light Energy Paradox and Dark-State Polaritons
Open PDF source
Engine implementation:
Add source-linked analogy warnings wherever the site uses stopped-light, trapped-light, EIT, or ramscoop fuel-conversion language.
Demo behavior:Support educational annotations for ramscoop and propulsion pages while keeping speculative-boundary language visible.
Next pass
Recommended next implementation slice
This keeps the theme and plugin-agent tracks separated until the runtime integration output is ready to review.
Have the plugin agent implement the actual strict TypeScript export builders in the ArcSecs plugin using /arcsecs-export-builder-handoff.json, ExportBuilderHandoff.ts, and ExportSchemaContracts.ts; then run simulator UI/export regression tests.
