Geometry Action

This branch asks whether pulse or phase consistency can motivate the geometric action used by general relativity, and whether any bounded diagnostic residuals point beyond the conservative model.

Branch Verdict

The geometry-action branch is a useful conditional and diagnostic scaffold. It does not yet derive the Einstein-Hilbert action from arbitrary pulse counts. It also does not accept torsion, nonmetricity, independent connection dynamics, finite-loop corrections, or quantum source-response as new physics.

The branch is valuable because it keeps the failure boundary sharp: each diagnostic states what would be needed to become a derivation, prediction, or clean no-go.
