How to read these figures
• Nodes: points, events, or parameter states. Circles denote scalar values; squares denote vector/tuple states.
• Edges: relations or transformations. Solid = deterministic; dashed = inferred or approximate; dotted = constraint.
• Arrows: causal or computational direction. Double-headed arrows indicate symmetry or equivalence classes.
• Colors: blue = geometric primitives; orange = dynamics; green = observables; violet = symmetries; grey = uncertainty bounds.
• Layers: background grids suggest coordinate choices; overlays mark invariants (kept consistent across figures).
Tip: Captions link to the deeper explanation in Overview, Framework, or Foundations.

Style swatch
These canonical diagrams define the model’s geometric primitives and relationships. Captions summarize the role of each figure and link to extended discussion.
- Primitive manifold and coordinate patches
- Metric structure and curvature cues
- Symmetry actions and invariants
- Composite constructions used later in dynamics
How to interpret
Each card represents a reusable building block. When a later figure references a block, the colors and symbols remain consistent with the legend above.
These panels sketch how model structures map to data: which observables are predicted, which are post-fit, and which diverge from ΛCDM. Use them as an index into the evidence and framework pages.
Reading note
Blue overlays indicate model-native predictions; grey bands indicate observational uncertainty; dashed lines mark areas needing more data.
How to use this map
Follow arrows for suggested reading orders. Solid lines: prerequisite paths; dashed lines: optional deep dives. Circles indicate summaries; squares indicate detailed references.
Orientation note
For non-technical readers, begin with the Overview path; for formal details, jump to Foundations. Evidence & Tests tracks live status of comparisons and predictions.
