Editorial Log

2026-05-06: Framework Completion

Major synthesis achieved:

1. Hydrogen base layer → 7 spectral lines → Q16.16 encoding
2. Physical law constraints → information compression
3. Hierarchical binding → 8 levels from QCD to expression
4. Biology as PDE solution → 4Byr computation → 10^52 compression
5. Cancer as decompression failure → corrupted vs. controlled
6. Manifold of manifolds → nested state spaces
7. Geodesic genome → research-backed prior art
8. Ethical boundaries → specific cancer subtypes only

All core documents created and interlinked.
