Navier–Stokes Ancestry Necessity Program · Cycle IV · 10/10 built · global regularity OPEN

NS-ANP continues from NS-DRC Cycle III's result: DRC completes reservoir-mechanism classification closure on the Type-I branch, but the audit finds closure does not imply chain necessity, identifying source–core ancestry, recursive-edge compatibility, and non-Type-I entry as the main gaps. Ten rounds build a formal theory of pre-singularity causal ancestry: ANP-00 defines the causal relation domain, ANP-01 through 03 progressively upgrade source–core ancestry from weighted adjoint contributions to a genuine C3 causal parent edge, ANP-04 fills in non-Type-I entry, ANP-05 through 08 handle arbitrary-depth paths, an inheritance-criterion correction, horizon persistence, and transmission rigidity, ANP-09 completes the Cycle IV final audit.

ANP-09 proves a genuine Horizon Causal-Forest Necessity Theorem (CN_Forest): assuming a finite-time singularity, a pre-singularity causal DAG actually exists in the original solution, with terminals appearing at arbitrarily late times and unbounded singular scales. But atomic CN3 (a single infinite causal lineage) remains OPEN — the irreducible frontier is a diffuse horizon branch; the dangerous causality may be an entire forest, not a single lineage. Formally hands off to "NS-CFOP: Navier–Stokes Causal Forest Obstruction Program." This is a middle segment of the research line: NS-DRC (Cycle III) → NS-ANP (Cycle IV) → NS-CFOP (Cycle V) → NS-FCBP (Cycle VI) → NS-MORP (Cycle VII) → NS-DCRP. The previous round's "possibly related, unconfirmed" reference to a "DRC dissipation-wavenumber architecture" is now confirmed — it is NS-DRC Cycle III itself.

Cycle IV, ten rounds · The Ten-Paper Cycle

Dependency chain: causal relation domain → source–core ancestry → C3 causal parent edge → universal entry → arbitrary-depth paths → inheritance correction → horizon persistence → transmission rigidity → causal-forest final audit. Reading in order is recommended — each round takes the previous one's results as given. ANP-05's original inheritance criterion was later flagged as too strong by a v0.2 correction note accompanying ANP-06; the correction is linked from that round's page.

On the source file format

The ten rounds exist in the source drop only as .zip release bundles (each containing the paper .md, a versioned roadmap, CHANGELOG, etc). ANP-06's release bundle additionally contains a v0.2 correction note for ANP-05, published here and linked from the ANP-05 page. The roadmap/CHANGELOG/schema files inside each bundle are internal project-management documents and are not published. Download the Cycle IV handoff, original .md (English)
