Getting Started

What's your background?

Choose the path that fits you best:

I'm curious about science (no math required)

Start with GIFT for Everyone — a complete guide using everyday analogies. Then check the FAQ for common questions.

I'm a physicist

Read For Physicists for a concise technical overview: E₈×E₈ architecture, K₇ compactification, and the 33 predictions. Then dive into the Main Paper.

I'm a geometer / mathematician

Read For Geometers for the computational pipeline: TCS construction, PINN metrics, spectral extraction, and Lean 4 bridges. The Explicit G₂ Metric paper is your entry point.

I'm interested in formal verification

Read For Formalization Experts for the Lean 4 architecture: 126 files, 38 axioms, 127-conjunct certificate, zero sorry. See Lean Formalization for the full picture.

I want to check the numbers

Go straight to Observable Reference (89 observables) and Statistical Evidence (7-component validation, 3M+ exhaustive search).

I want to cite GIFT

See Citation Guide for BibTeX, APA, and DOI information.


Essential Reading Order

  1. GIFT for Everyone or For Physicists (depending on background)
  2. Main Framework Paper — the complete theory
  3. Observable Reference — all predictions in one table
  4. Statistical Evidence — why the numbers matter
  5. Lean Formalization — machine-checked proofs
