[Dead] Asymmetry Waveform = Pi/2 Falls

This paper presents an honest assessment of the Canvas Model, a unified framework for fundamental physics based on eight primitives and four dynamical pillars, after extensive adversarial review, forward computation, and systematic withdrawal of unsupported claims. We document what survived, what failed, and what remains open. What survived: The framework correctly predicts the gauge group SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1), three fermion generations, the CKM Wolfenstein parameter λ = 1/5, the CKM hierarchy, the V_ub suppression factor, and the PMNS mixing angles θ₁₂ = 1/√3, θ₂₃ = π/4, θ₁₃ = arcsin(1/(3√5)) ≈ 8.57° (matching observation exactly). The gauge coupling absolute values at M_P match data-required values to 0.5% (g₃²) and 0.7% (g₂²), and the normalization-free ratio g₃²/g₂² = 3/π matches to 1.2%. The fermion mass hierarchy mechanism, the cosmological constant mechanism, the horizon information bound, and the quantum foundations are derived from primitives, with fitting disclosures where applicable. What failed: The framework's central falsifiable prediction—a π/2 waveform asymmetry in bound states—was falsified. The simulation code was broken and the Unified Wave Equation is exactly symmetric under Φ → -Φ. CP violation cannot emerge from the current axioms, which are entirely real-valued. Dynamical matter-antimatter preference is provably absent. The Yukawa sector fails quantitatively under forward RG evolution, giving m_t ≈ 56 GeV and an unstable vacuum. The neutrino mass squared differences are off by factors of 3–34. The strong CP resolution is withdrawn. What remains open: The U(1) gauge coupling normalization is unresolved. A complex phase primitive is needed for CP violation. The Yukawa discrepancy (factor ~4 for third-generation quarks) is a specific quantitative question. The neutrino sector requires substantial revision. The cosmological constant evolution and equation of state must be reconciled. A flexibility audit is needed for all surviving predictions. What this paper does: This paper is not a defense of a complete theory. It is a documentation of a partial success with real derived structure and clearly identified limitations. The gauge sector near-matches at M_P constitute the strongest quantitative evidence. The impossibility proofs for CP violation and baryogenesis identify exactly where new axioms are needed. The failures are as informative as the successes. Why this matters: The capacity for self-correction demonstrated in this process—falsifying the central prediction, withdrawing unsupported claims, systematically identifying impossibility proofs, and honestly documenting what remains—is the framework's strongest asset going forward. This paper is a model of how to conduct foundational physics with intellectual honesty.
