About & FAQ

Multi-page architecture. The single-page landing site is split into a lean gateway home page plus six focused sub-pages: Understanding (5-minute intro), Framework (seven-brick technical deep dive — the previous landing content, in full), Evidence (predictions, confidence tiers, falsification criteria, four-stage roadmap), Get Involved (contribution paths + critical path), Resources (docs, downloads, references), and About & FAQ. A persistent site header and footer replace per-page nav. No content is removed — the framework page still contains every existing section verbatim; the other pages provide curated entry points that link back for deep detail. Sitemap updated to include all seven routes.

Honesty-over-hype recalibration. Overall completion adjusted from 65% to 55%; Brick 4 (scale selection) reclassified from '65% solved' to '45% complete — self-consistent but phenomenological'; phase label changed from 'theory_validated' to 'phenomenological_framework'. Adds a Seven-Brick Framework status table, a 'Proven vs Phenomenological vs Requires Validation' three-card explainer, and a Four-Stage Validation Roadmap (Boltzmann code → alternative-model comparison → first-principles 5D derivation → observational tests with DESI/Euclid/CMB-S4). Adds four new FAQ entries clarifying derived vs phenomenological, Brick 4's parameter counting, and what would falsify the model. Page title and meta description updated to reflect the phenomenological framing. No scientific claims removed; earlier 65% figures remain in prior changelog entries for auditability.

Science update: JWST 'little red dots' redefined. Recent spectroscopic analysis (GLIMPSE-17775 follow-up) indicates JWST's 'little red dots' are supermassive black holes in dense gas cocoons, not anomalously early galaxies. The previous version of this model (v1.5) had already retracted the JWST early-galaxy mechanism on theoretical grounds; v1.7.2 now also retracts JWST as a tension the model needs to address, because the anomaly itself has dissolved observationally. The model now cleanly targets two independent, confirmed tensions: S₈ (late-time clustering) and Lyman-α (small-scale power suppression). All previous JWST framing remains visible on the page, struck through, with Revised-in-v1.7.2 / Removed-in-v1.7.2 chips. No silent rewrites.

Front-page declutter and a new companion preprint link. All previous revision history (struck-through wording, earlier captions, retracted predictions) is preserved but now hidden behind small click-to-expand disclosures so the page reads cleanly by default. Adds a second Zenodo preprint card pointing at the companion paper 'A Self-Interacting Ultralight Scalar Field Driven by Electromagnetic Fields: An Alternative to Cold Dark Matter' (records/20607636). No scientific claims changed.

Major theory rewrite organized as a 'Three Bricks' framework. Brick 1 (Radion–EM coupling) is now derived from boundary variation of the 5D gauge action in the ω → 0 limit, giving L_int = −(λ/M₅^{3/2}) r(x)(∂_μφ)². The Dynamics Engine — a full non-linear radion wave equation with Hubble damping, spatial gradients, stabilizing mass, geometric back-reaction and the EM driver — is now stated explicitly. Brick 2 maps the resulting ⟨r²⟩ to a gravity suppression G_eff ≈ G_N(1 − β₂⟨r²⟩) → 0.75 G_N (provisional mapping). Brick 3 introduces an observation-driven scale-dependent G_eff(k) = G_N[1 − β(k/k_c)^p] with k_c ≈ 0.75 h Mpc⁻¹ and p ≈ 2.5. An explicit Honest Assessment paragraph distinguishes derived from provisional from phenomenological. All previous T^μ_μ-only framing remains visible, struck through, with a Revised-in-v1.7.0 chip explaining the relation to the new derived (∂_μφ)² coupling. Five new diagrams accompany the new section.

Clarity, polish and visual upgrade pass. No new physics claims and no retractions — instead the landing page gets a proper hero: a layered braneworld background, a plain-English one-sentence elevator pitch, a three-pill tone row (Speculative · Observation-driven · Open for criticism), and a 'Key derived result' card foregrounding G_eff ≈ 0.75 G_N. Core diagrams (power-spectrum cutoff, leakage-event timeline) regenerated at higher fidelity with crisp axis labels and annotations. All edits are additive; previous text and version chips remain in place.
