Prior Art — Physics
Prior-art cluster pa000007 — Physics: 20 representative references and 16 structural-challenge edges curated from the central bibliography.
Cluster ID: pa000007 · 199 bibliography entries in domain
Physics
The largest physics-side cluster (199 entries) covering general relativity (Einstein 1915 field equations, Schwarzschild, Kerr), observational cosmology (Hubble, Perlmutter, Planck Collaboration, BICEP/Keck), gravitational waves (LIGO 2016), Event Horizon Telescope, and Standard-Model particle physics (Glashow, Weinberg, Salam, Gross–Wilczek). The cluster grounds Book IV (Categorical Microcosm), Book V (Categorical Macrocosm), the calibration cascade anchored by ι_τ ≈ 0.341304, the 67-prediction catalogue, and the N1–N30 falsification pack. Reviewers auditing the EW-sector predictions, the CMB-S4 r ≈ 0.0136 falsifier, or the cosmological-constant bridge should read Red-team FAQ #11 for the precision-tier honesty discussion before treating any single tier badge as endorsement of measurement-precision agreement.

Where this cluster bears on the program
Construction-spine steps the cluster's prior art most directly engages.
Related structural challenges
Structural Challenge Ledger items where this cluster's prior art is part of the obligation surface. Each link goes to the canonical SCL item; from there, the paired Challenge Response on the Results lane shows the program's current τ response.
SCL items resolve via the Structural Challenge Ledger; the corresponding Challenge Responses live on the Results-side projection.

The cluster surface here is the machine-readable backbone. For narrative comparisons against specific approach families — shared pressure, distinguishing claim, remaining burden — see the Deep Comparison briefing, which carries the editorial work and will continue to expand as more comparisons are authored.
