This repository contains the working manuscript and project infrastructure for a comprehensive multi-volume monograph on quantum field theory.
Author line for the monograph:
GPT 5.5 under the supervision of Xi Yin
The public monograph program consists of exactly the twenty volumes listed in
the table below. Volumes I-XII are active reader-facing volumes compiled by
monograph/tex/main.tex into the current PDF. Volumes XIII-XX are roadmap
volumes: they are part of the public subject architecture, and their standalone
TeX assemblies will be added only after the same chapter-dossier,
verification, frontmatter, and README standards are met.
This is the canonical README roster. Do not infer the full program from
monograph/tex/volumes/ alone, since that directory currently contains only
the active compiled assemblies. The same I--XX roster is mirrored in
planning/README.md and planning/04_master_architecture.md.

The manuscript is an active draft. The reader-facing text is in
monograph/tex/; planning notes, source transcriptions, and local reference
material are kept separate from the compiled monograph.
The table below gives chapter ranges, chapter counts, scopes, and assembly
files for the twelve launched volumes. Chapter ranges are continuous printed
chapter numbers, and counts are counts of printed \chapter entries, not raw
\input lines. Volume IV also inputs the spinor-convention source as a
section inside Chapter 40.

These twelve rows are the complete list of launched public volumes. There are no hidden active volumes outside this roster. Draft files, deprecated files, source transcriptions, local reference files, and planning notes are not additional public volumes.
The table below gives the complete current roadmap for the prospective volumes after the twelve compiled volumes. These entries are numbered so that the README contains the full volume program, but their status remains prospective until the corresponding source assemblies exist and pass the same verification standards as Volumes I-XII.

|---|---|---|---|
| XIII | Prospective roadmap volume | Nonperturbative large-N limits, QCD string observables, baryons and solitons, planar versus confining string limits, and controlled bridges to gauge/string spectral problems. | Mainly Volumes IV, VI, VII, and IX |

Contributors should treat the twelve active volumes as the authoritative compiled manuscript and the roadmap table as the authoritative list of prospective subject expansions. A prospective volume becomes an active public compiled volume only after it has its own assembly file, chapter dossiers, verification pass, and frontmatter/README entry.
Mathematical machinery and verification infrastructure are distributed through the active volumes rather than being a separate numbered volume. This layer includes spinors, supergeometry, distribution theory, functional analysis, rigged Hilbert spaces, calculation-check scripts, finite-regulator examples, and proof dossiers.

The full volume program is the twenty-volume list at the top of this README. The compiled manuscript currently contains the first twelve subject volumes and uses continuous chapter numbering across those active volumes. The chapter order below records the current contents of every launched volume, I--XII, and then continues with the planned subject blocks for roadmap Volumes XIII--XX. The roadmap entries are not compiled chapters yet; they are included here so the README contains the full volume program in one continuous list. The source directory names for Volumes I--XII are historical assembly locations, while the reader-facing part titles and chapter order below are the authoritative compiled-volume structure. The frontmatter Source Assembly Map records how source files are assembled into the printed order.

The monograph build expects a TeX installation with xelatex, latexmk, TikZ,
and standard AMS packages. The strict text audit additionally requires
ripgrep.
From the repository root:
tools/build_monograph.shThe script runs the reader-facing text audit, builds
monograph/tex/main.tex, scans the final LaTeX logs for serious issues, and
writes the compiled PDF to monograph/tex/main.pdf.
Convention-sensitive calculation checks can be run with:
tools/run_calculation_checks.shThe runner first executes the Python checks. If .wl checks exist, it then
requires a working Wolfram backend, preferring
/Applications/Wolfram.app/Contents/MacOS/WolframKernel -script on the
author's macOS installation and falling back to wolframscript -file only
when the kernel entrypoint is unavailable. The runner probes the selected
backend, runs every .wl file, rejects known Wolfram line-continuation parse
hazards, and fails unless each Wolfram script prints its success marker.
Computationally heavy or numerical checks should be implemented in Python.
Wolfram Language checks are reserved for lightweight, reader-readable symbolic
convention checks. Set QFT_SKIP_WOLFRAM=1 only for an explicitly
Python-only pass, and set WOLFRAMKERNEL=/absolute/path/to/WolframKernel or
WOLFRAMSCRIPT=/absolute/path/to/wolframscript to override executable paths.
Reader-facing companion scripts can be smoke-tested with:
tools/run_qft_scripts_smoke.shThese scripts illustrate finite regulators. Their smoke tests do not establish continuum extrapolations or physical spectra unless the accompanying chapter states and proves the finite claim being checked.
Before a manuscript change is considered ready:
- Run
tools/build_monograph.sh. - Check that the strict monograph text audit is clean.
- Check that the LaTeX log scan is clean.
- For figure-heavy edits, render and inspect the affected PDF pages.
- For edits involving sign, spinor, group-theory, anomaly, conformal-block,
or Feynman-integral conventions, run
tools/run_calculation_checks.shor the relevant script incalculation-checks/. - For edits to public numerical companion scripts, run
tools/run_qft_scripts_smoke.shor the edited script's smoke mode.
The planning layer records additional writing standards and audit procedures.
Generated files, local build products, OCR outputs, source PDFs, and extracted reference text are ignored. Compiled PDFs should be distributed through release artifacts rather than committed directly unless the author explicitly decides otherwise.
The repository does not use a GitHub CI gate. Manuscript verification is run
locally with the tools listed above, and .github/workflows/ should not be
introduced unless the author explicitly requests GitHub Actions.
This is an open-source project. Contributions should be made by pull request,
and every pull request must be reviewed and approved by Xi Yin or by a
maintainer explicitly designated by Xi Yin before it is merged. See
CONTRIBUTING.md for the manuscript-quality, verification, and licensing
