RFS — Rotor–Field–Substrate research pack v1.0 (blocks RFS-217→294): emergent Dirac, Yukawa, gauge, and Aharonov–Bohm physics from a single deterministic local rule, with independent bit-exact certification

A fifteen-year independent research program asking one question: how much real physics can emerge from simple, deterministic, reversible local rules on a grid of cells? This pack contains the complete state of the program (research blocks RFS-217 through RFS-294): all artifact-producing code, pre-registered pass/fail criteria, results including every recorded failure, reports, and an independent clean-room reproduction certificate. Main results: the whole substrate compresses to a single rule (everything is an arrow/conjugate pair; one local energy; exact per-term flows), whose term list is itself derived (gap, gauge invariance, and interference each eliminate candidates). On this substrate: genuine wave interference with theorems delimiting it; a forced Yukawa coupling with self-binding, two-body attraction, and quadrupole inspirals with closed energy books; Dirac's 1928 negative-energy runaway regenerated unprompted and cured by the filled sea and holes; an exact lattice Gauss law (algebraic identity, 1e-16), like-charge repulsion and 1D confinement; photons with exact dispersion and an isotropic light cone; the Lorentz force; two and three dimensions (where the substrate independently forces spinor doubling); the matter sector running on bounded integers (the rotor-router principle generalized); and the Aharonov–Bohm effect, with fringe inversion at half a flux quantum around a flux no path touches, and single-slit runs blind to it. Method: theory-first pre-registration; failures published beside successes (including the program's own retracted claims); exact benchmarks at 1e-13..1e-16; a cumulative pitfalls list (P-1..P-45); and clean-room certification: an independent session reproduced ~325 quantities bit-for-bit across the core blocks. Certification status: blocks RFS-217→282 certified; RFS-283→294 pending the next audit (see ZENODO_STATUS.md at the pack root). No claims are made of Bell-inequality violation (CHSH ≤ 2 is proven for this class within the program) or of computational advantage. Code license: MIT. Documents and data: CC-BY 4.0.
