Auditing Physics

Check science files for cross-layer consistency against the universe's foundational rules.

Prerequisites

Read CLAUDE.md for the universe's foundational axiom and locked rules. If the project has reference files in references/, read those instead of the full science backend.

Chain of Draft Mode

Compress each reasoning step to ≤5 words. Mark conclusions with ####.

Axiom check. Signal exchange present. #### PASS.
Layer dependency. Upstream rule holds. #### PASS.
Equation check. Variable collision found. #### VIOLATION.

Checks

For each file:

1. Foundational Axiom Compliance — does the mechanism reduce to the universe's core principle?
2. Cross-Layer Consistency — claims don't contradict upstream science
3. Equation Consistency — variables, constants, and formulas don't collide
4. Derivation Chains — each claim traces to a specific upstream principle

Output

• CONTRADICTION — two files disagree on a rule
• BROKEN-REF — cross-reference to nonexistent file
• COLLISION — duplicate constants or numbering
• DRIFT — terminology inconsistency
• GAP — missing section that downstream files depend on

Do NOT fix anything. Report only.

Out of Scope

Does NOT check frontmatter, naming, or writing standards (use /auditing-canon). Does NOT verify a single term across the repo (use /cross-checking). Does NOT write new content (use /writing-science).
