Abstract We present a single holomorphic framework in which gravity, all Standard Model interactions, and their couplings to charges and currents emerge from one geometric action on a four-complex dimensional manifold. The Hermitian metric yields, upon restriction to the real slice $$ y^\mu = 0 ,$$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msup> <mml:mi>y</mml:mi> <mml:mi>μ</mml:mi> </mml:msup> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mn>0</mml:mn> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> a real symmetric metric $$ g_{(\mu \nu )}(x) $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>μ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>ν</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> satisfying the vacuum Einstein’s equations, while its imaginary, antisymmetric part $$ g_{[\mu \nu ]}(x) $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>g</mml:mi> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>[</mml:mo> <mml:mi>μ</mml:mi> <mml:mi>ν</mml:mi> <mml:mo>]</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:msub> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo>(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>x</mml:mi> <mml:mo>)</mml:mo> </mml:mrow> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> reproduces both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Maxwell identities with explicit coupling to external four-currents.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
