Core setting. We model the arena as a smooth manifold M equipped with a metric g and auxiliary structure as needed (bundles, connections). Choices of signature distinguish Euclidean vs pseudo-Riemannian regimes.
Metrics. We examine completeness, curvature tensors, geodesic structure, conformal classes, and induced measures. The working hypothesis: observed regularities correspond to curvature constraints and compatibility conditions between g and the chosen connection ∇.
Structure. Fiber bundles encode fields; principal bundles carry gauge data; symplectic forms define phase-space sectors. Regularity assumptions (C2 or better) are stated where required.
Cross-link: See Derivations for explicit curvature identities and worked geodesic relations.

Structures at a Glance
Groups and actions. We analyze isometries of (M,g), gauge groups on principal bundles, and scale/conformal transformations. Actions are smooth and proper where assumed.
Invariants. Curvature scalars, characteristic classes, conserved currents (via Noether) and topological indices form the backbone of testable structure.
Cross-link: See Framework → Correspondence with Standard Cosmology for how these map to familiar symmetries.

Operator families. Differential (∇, Δ, Lie derivatives), integral/transforms (Fourier, Laplace), and evolution generators define dynamics. Constraints appear as operator equations and commutators.
Relations. Conservation and balance laws; compatibility of ∇ with g; curvature identities; projection from latent geometry to observables.

Lemma 1 (Compatibility). If ∇g=0 and torsion T=0, geodesics extremize arc length; sketch: variational principle plus Levi-Civita uniqueness.
Lemma 2 (Conservation from symmetry). If the action is invariant under a one-parameter group, the associated current is conserved; sketch: Noether’s first theorem with boundary terms controlled.
Lemma 3 (Projection consistency). Under regular projection π from latent manifold to observation space, pushforward of conserved currents remains divergence-free; sketch: use π∗ and commutation with divergence under smooth submersion.

Indices. Latin i,j,k for spatial; Greek μ,ν for spacetime; abstract indices when coordinate-free. Summation convention in force.
Signature. We adopt mostly-plus (−,+,+,+) in Lorentzian contexts unless stated otherwise.
Tensors & forms. Bold symbols for tensors, wedge ∧ for forms, Hodge ⋆ for duals.
Charts. Coordinate charts are chosen for regularity and clarity; transitions are smooth; units follow SI with c=1 where convenient.
