Structural AdmissibilityThe question before correctness.
A framework for evaluating theories of everything by what their structure actually supports, not what their authors claim.
A framework for evaluating theories of everything by what their structure actually supports, not what their authors claim.
Before asking whether a theory of everything is correct, ask what kind of work it actually is. Many disputes about contested frameworks (String Theory, Geometric Unity, Loop Quantum Gravity, Wave Relativity, MOND, ΛCDM) collapse into clear structural readings once the question of bucket is settled. A theory's institutional claim to a bucket can be checked against what its structure actually supports. The framework catches the bucket-misrepresentation case by walking three legs: are the primitives at the right level, does the work operate at the level it claims, is the work positioned correctly relative to established physics?
The framework does not gatekeep on credentials, journal venue, or institutional affiliation. The crank-or-not test is sociological; this framework cuts orthogonally. Theories with full institutional infrastructure can fail Leg B2; obscure independent-scholar derivations can pass Leg A.
