Shadow Theory and the Wilson Yang–Mills Construction: A Source–Readout Reconstruction
Shadow Theory constructs a connected realization of the Wilson Yang–Mills argument: its configurations, measures, effective quantities, physical fields and operator correlations, with explicit recovery maps and compatible operations throughout.
A configuration, an effective action and a physical field are different readouts. Recovering the final expression is only part of the task. Shadow Theory makes their relationship explicit: sections show which target objects are covered, fibres identify what is discarded, and operation identities establish how the construction passes through each layer.
Jeremy Rodgers originated Shadow Theory, the source–readout architecture and the Source Lift protocol, and directed this reconstruction with AI assistance. The mathematical input is the expanded translation of OpenAI’s underlying Lean Yang–Mills work. The chapters develop the complete realization and recovery argument alongside its Yang–Mills derivations.
The gauge group, faithful representation, four-dimensional Wilson law and stated analytic hypotheses are inputs. The full fixed-period mesh limit precedes the permitted outer volume extraction. The centered trace and comparison exclusions retain their own hypotheses; a positive mass gap is not a conclusion of these editions.
