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, which means 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.
