What is retained from old versions

Which old ideas remain, which were revised, and which are history.

≈ 2 min read
In plain words

EEML has a history. Not everything from earlier versions survived. Each old component got a decision and a reason.

  • Retained: for example the path of least resistance. But only under conditions: not every process picks the least resistance. Also retained: the idea that the whole must fit together.
  • Retained as an example: K3, the number 24 and the charges of particles. They hold within their own conditions. They do not prove that our universe is built that way.
  • History: old numbers, such as a ‘derived’ α, a threshold of 18 and a mandatory LISA frequency. They contained arithmetic and structural errors. They no longer count as results.
What stayed, and what did not
Seventeen components from earlier versions, from the table in Part II. Sixteen stay, each with its own status. One group of old numbers is history.

The full table

For each old component: the decision and the reason.
Component from earlier EEML Decision for the integrated version Why / scope
Both states and complete paths Retained as model structure A final state does not tell how much preparation, time and support were needed along the way.
Path of least resistance Retained as a conditional minimum principle In certain transport classes, a minimum follows from local response and joint conditions. Not every process minimizes heat loss.
Stationarity δR = 0 Retained as a tool Only for a specified differentiable functional with suitable boundary conditions. Stationarity is not necessarily a minimum or a dynamical attractor.
Whole, layers and joint compatibility Core component Separate partial explanations can be mutually inconsistent; dependencies also determine joint probabilities.
Consistent redescription, the gluing rule Core component, both static and dynamic Omitted details can return as higher couplings, memory and correlated noise.
Present versus active resistance Retained as an operational distinction An existing coupling may cause no loss in a particular direction of motion.
Operation, passage, seed, cycle and residual demand (EEML-W) Retained as an executable description Makes support and sequence explicit. Zero residual demand concerns registered kinds of support, not automatic freedom from energy.
Use changes later possibilities Retained as a process hypothesis Habits, conductance and links can change. Which adaptation law holds remains model input or a measurement question.
EEML-T 0.2/0.3 and their proofs of decrease Retained as concrete models Here, chosen dynamics and decreasing quantities are actually connected. No derivation that nature follows the same dynamics everywhere.
Success probability: reaching and maintaining Reinstate explicitly Cannot be read off from the depth, width or number of minima alone. Time window, preparation and disturbances count.
Multiple routes, minima and dominant routes Retained No mandatory unique winner. Dominance requires a mechanism; multiple active routes are no proof of multiple universes.
Pareto, saturated bounds and algebraic closure Retained, kept distinct Pareto compares a fixed cost vector. Closure without costs is no proof of efficiency.
Exponential weighting, measure and multiplicity Retained from the latest correction Only in the justified positive regime; physical alternatives and descriptive copies remain distinct.
Reverse engineering, retrodictions and self-application Core of the test protocol One reconstructed structure must predict new circumstances without retuning.
Zero point, nothing does not exist, universal obligation to move Retained as founding ideas / postulates Not needed as a starting condition of every application and not independently proven by the earlier reasoning.
K3, χ = 24, hypercharges and 331 Retained as conditional case studies Their explicit class and conditions remain essential; no automatic derivation of our universe.
Parameter-free α, universal threshold 18, mandatory LISA frequency Historical / unconfirmed or refuted as written Arithmetic and structural errors are not repaired by a new formulation of EEML. Worked out in Part VI.E11.
