Formal Verification of the Aether-Z3-Omega Framework: A Reproducible Benchmarking Protocol for Physical Axioms

The prevailing epistemology in cosmological modeling relies heavily on parameter tuning to align theoretical predictions with observational data. This practice creates a cognitive blind spot where the theory is not tested against physical reality, but against the researcher's ability to fit a curve.We propose a shift toward Deterministic Epistemology. By mapping physical axioms onto the SMT-LIB2 format, we subject 36 fundamental relations to formal verification via the Z3 solver. We show that while the resulting Aether-Z3-Omega framework is internally consistent (35/36 blocks verify as UNSAT, 1 SAT by design), it fails to derive unique cosmological values for ΩΛ without exogenous parameter forcing.We conclude that current Theory of Everything (ToE) claims should be treated as HIPOTESIS, not PRED (predictive theorems). This document serves as a reproducible benchmark for verifying the logical consistency of any physical theory, inviting falsification via our open-source Z3 reproducibility package.Package Contents:- Formal treatise (Typst source + compiled PDF)- 36-block SMT-LIB2 reproducibility corpus- Deterministic Z3 verification matrix- OSINT-based bounty prioritization framework (Hybrid-Z3)
