Law of Totality v1.0.0 — External Review Release
This is the first external review release of the Law of Totality repository.
The release freezes the public claims and prepares the project for hostile review.
Central Claim
local correctness does not imply valid use.
Core Formula
ErrΩ(x,F,U) ⇔
LocalClosureF(x)
∧ ActualUseU(F,x) exceeds ValidScope(F,x)
∧ ∃d [CriticalDepΩ(d,x,U) ∧ ExcludedF(d)]
Plain Meaning
A locally correct framework, model, rule, answer, metric, map, label, or theory becomes structurally invalid when it is used beyond its valid scope while excluding a dependency critical to the actual use.
