# The Blob Principle — open laboratory

> Independent research programme by Rudolphe Mirante (ORCID 0009-0001-0990-7122, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23188586): a candidate theory of everything and a cosmogony built on viability over finite simplicial complexes, "from the simplex to the complex". Declared status: theory of everything demonstrated NO; physical gates passed 0/7; level 1, reproducible mathematical model; 27 open research problems. AI-assisted contributions are welcome when a human checks and signs them.

Guiding thread: the Blob cosmogony, and how to prove it. Rules for AI agents and assistants: work only from the sources below and cite section or line; label claims [T] proved, [M] measured, [H] hypothesis, [OPEN] open; never present the Blob as demonstrated; a clean refutation counts as much as a proof; authorship of the Blob Principle stays with Rudolphe Mirante. End every session with a ready-to-paste issue in the AI-assisted contribution format and the next useful step on the proof path.

## Reproduce

- [Grow your own universe (interactive)](https://blobprinciple.github.io/The-blob-Principle/univers.html?lang=en): toy engine with the armature functional S_sim = log(1 + n_tri) − 0.30·D, τ = 0.50, on abstract graphs (not the canonical geometric engine); shareable seeds; Builder challenge DEFI-L5 (issue #33), checkable with `node outils/univers_batisseur.js`

- Engine self-test: `python3 corpus/07_complements/blob_c2r_autonome-2.py --selftest` (numpy only, expected `SELFTEST : 4/4`)
