Project index and reading guide

Scale Space / CNRS Research Programme

A modular research programme connecting logarithmic scale geometry, complex positional representation, and cross-scale physical and biological modelling.

Start Here

This page is the public index for the Scale Space / CNRS programme. It is designed to make the book, technical papers, the GitHub code repository, open problems, and Zenodo concept DOIs mutually discoverable.

How to read this project: the book is the synthesis and research-programme statement; the papers are the technical record; the GitHub repository is the current executable-code entry point; the CNRS records are the mathematical and documentation entry points. Concept DOIs resolve to the latest Zenodo version of each record.

Book-level synthesis

Across Scale: A Geometry of Size and Representation provides the reader-facing architecture: motivation, scale geometry, quantum/biology extensions, CNRS, bridge questions, tests, and failure modes.

Technical derivations

The Scale Space papers provide the formal physics, geometry, dynamical-closure, and prediction record. Use these records when citing specific technical claims.

Mathematics and code

The CNRS records provide the mathematical background. The GitHub repository provides the current executable CNRS Scientific Toolkit: code, tests, examples, issues, and future software releases.

Book and Programme Architecture

The recommended Zenodo structure is: one project landing record, one book record, individual paper records, and separate code/software records. This page is suitable for the project landing record.

Across Scale

Role: reader-facing synthesis and research-programme statement. The book should cite the project landing record and the relevant technical-paper concept DOIs. Technical claims should be traced to the paper records below.

Recommended citation logic

Cite the book for the programme-level synthesis. Cite individual Scale Space papers for physics derivations. Cite CNRS papers and software documents for arithmetic, branch-index, and implementation claims.

Book arcTechnical source familyStatus of connection
Chs. 1–8: scale coordinate, metric, gravity, predictionsFramework; Scale Space Papers 1–12Core Scale Space development; observational translation still open for several predictions.
Chs. 9–12: quantum and biology extensionsScale Space Papers 3–5, 18, 23Model-level and exploratory extension; empirical calibration required.
Chs. 13–15: dynamical closure and complex scaleScale Space Papers 13–17, 20, 23; CNRS bridge recordsTechnical frontier; several results are ansatz-dependent or await independent review.
Chs. 16–19: CNRSCNRS roadmap, architecture, problem papers, software guideConstructed mathematical programme with implemented components and open formal questions.
Chs. 20–24: convergence, tests, status, invitationAll records; especially triangulation, tetrad, physics-connection recordsProgramme synthesis; bridge remains conditional rather than proved.

How the layers fit together

GitHub is the working code and testing layer. Zenodo remains the archival and citation layer for programme documents and versioned research outputs. This landing page connects the code repository, book-level synthesis, paper records, and CNRS mathematical records.
