The citations behind the settled claims — the universal quantization law, the real emissions from the body that anchor the aura case, and the constants that set the map's edges.
The framework asserts; this document substantiates. Each entry backs an ESTABLISHED claim in the Principles or the Adapter Inventory. This is a living document — citations are added and corrected as the map grows.
The quantization law (E = ħω)
The Planck–Einstein relation — a quantum of a field carries energy proportional to its frequency, by the same constant ħ — is foundational physics and holds across substrates: photons (light), phonons (lattice vibration / sound), magnons (spin waves), and plasmons all obey it. This is the rigorous core of the framework's "one law, many vocabularies" claim, and it is why the axis is a chart while the law is the kinship. ESTABLISHED
The body is a real emitter — the carrier behind the aura case
These anchor the carrier layer of Principle 7: the body emits real fields we can already reach with adapters. They establish the emission, not any reading of it as color.
- Kobayashi M, Kikuchi D, Okamura H. "Imaging of Ultraweak Spontaneous Photon Emission from Human Body Displaying Diurnal Rhythm." PLoS ONE 4(7): e6256 (2009). The human body spontaneously emits visible-range photons at very low intensity, on a metabolic rhythm. ESTABLISHED
- Tinsley JN, Molodtsov MI, Prevedel R, et al. "Direct detection of a single photon by humans." Nature Communications 7: 12172 (2016). Human observers can report a single photon above chance — a biological single-photon detector exists. ESTABLISHED
- Body thermal-infrared peak. Wien's displacement law applied to a body at ~305–310 K places the peak of thermal-IR emission near ~9.3–9.5 µm — a direct blackbody result, not a single paper. A thermal camera renders exactly this emission as color. ESTABLISHED
What remains open is the connection between any of these real emissions and what is reported as an aura's color — see Principle 7. The citations support the carrier; they say nothing for or against the color-connection.
Gravitational waves — detection only
Abbott BP et al. (LIGO Scientific Collaboration and Virgo Collaboration). "Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole Merger." Physical Review Letters 116, 061102 (2016). The first direct detection (GW150914). Anchors the "we can detect but cannot emit" status of the gravitational-wave channel. ESTABLISHED
The map's edges
- Planck frequency (~1.85 × 10⁴³ Hz): the inverse of the Planck time, t_P = √(ħG/c⁵) ≈ 5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ s — a standard derivation from the fundamental constants. The claim that a single quantum there forms a black hole is a widely-used heuristic, not a theorem. ESTABLISHED (constant) / FRAMING (the black-hole heuristic)
- Lower edge (~10⁻¹⁸ Hz): a wavelength comparable to the observable universe — a practical bound on observable oscillation, not a fundamental floor. FRAMING
Reference hygiene: where an entry cites a specific paper, the author, title, journal, and year are given so it can be located and verified. Where an entry rests on a standard derivation (Wien's law, the Planck time), that is stated plainly rather than dressed as a citation.
