Functional Stability Theory is a unified mathematical programme that identifies a single structural challenge — Functional Positivity under Gauge Constraint (Pattern A) — as the common substrate of open problems in number theory, mathematical physics, and cosmology.
The programme rests on three foundation papers:
| Master | Title | Role | DOI |
|---|---|---|---|
| Zookeeper | The Spectral Zookeeper | RH proof via CCM microcluster closure | 10.5281/zenodo.19673127 |
| Zeta Zoo | The Zeta Zoo — The Mathematical Side of FST | Classification (SGE taxonomy, Boundary Theorem) | 10.5281/zenodo.19673227 |
| Spectrum Duality | FST Spectrum Duality / RFEP | Physical instantiation (Pattern A, DS1–DS3) | 10.5281/zenodo.19162705 |
Classified by the SGE taxonomy from the Zeta Zoo. These instantiate Pattern A on number-theoretic and algebraic structures. BSD, Hodge, and P vs NP are bridge species — they appear in both the mathematical and physical branches of the programme.
| Paper | Version | Status | Open Problem | DOI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BSD | v1.1 | Reformulation | Higher Gross–Zagier (rank ≥ 2) | 10.5281/zenodo.19087443 |
| Hodge | v1.1 | No-Go Theorem | = Deligne's question (1982) | 10.5281/zenodo.19087439 |
| P vs NP | v1.2 | Reformulation | Uniformity Bridge | 10.5281/zenodo.19056809 |
Derive Pattern A + DS1–DS3 from Spectrum Duality. These instantiate the Dissipative Selection Principle on physical systems.
| Paper | Version | Status | Open Problem | DOI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Turbulence | v1.3 | Journal-ready | DFC1 empirical (only input) | 10.5281/zenodo.19056813 |
| Yang–Mills | v2.1 | Conditional | Analytical proof of λ < 0 | 10.5281/zenodo.19087433 |
| Navier–Stokes | v2.1 | Conditional | Assumption G2 (projection regularity) | 10.5281/zenodo.19087449 |
| NS Log-Distance | v1.3 | Proof of Life | TLL for 3D NS analytically open | 10.5281/zenodo.19056807 |
The cosmological branch of FST. The Dark Energy paper instantiates Pattern A on cosmological screening mechanisms (Hu–Sawicki f(R) gravity). A dedicated CRM paper re-examining the Cooperative Renormalization Model from the FST perspective is planned.
| Paper | Version | Status | Open Problem | DOI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dark Energy | v1.6 | Framework Note | Hu–Sawicki parameters quantitatively open | 10.5281/zenodo.19036235 |

These stand independently of FST. The RFEP was abstracted from them; they are not derived from it.
