Distel Theory Overview

Author: Thomas J. Cutler

Status: partially formalized speculative research program; not validated physics or a demonstrated theory of everything.

Current causal spine

Interaction → Constraint → Persistent Topology → Future Accessibility → Recursive Modeling → Agency → new Interaction.

Primary thesis

Reality is treated as continuous interaction shaping inherited future-accessibility geometry. The central empirical burden is to show that history-dependent accessibility predicts future behavior beyond current state variables and established models.

Surviving methodological principles

• Prediction precedes execution.
• Validation remains separate from interpretation.
• Failures, contradictions, residuals, and adjacent damage remain in the record.
• Branches are tested alone and, where justified, in pairs, triads, and necessary-neighbor absence tests.
• Brute force is not the primary discovery methodology.
