Theory of Everything Research Programme: B1 Gray–Scott Confirmatory Experiment Software and Reproducibility Package.
Abstract
This software release provides the executable and reproducibility infrastructure for the preregistered B1 Gray–Scott driven-pattern baseline within the Theory of Everything Research Programme. The package implements the frozen version 1.1.0 confirmatory protocol associated with OSF preregistration DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/G3TE5. It includes the Gray–Scott reaction–diffusion environment, five preregistered confirmatory conditions, frozen manifests and integrity locks, deterministic seed handling, intervention definitions, provenance capture, automated analysis, figure and table generation, machine-readable decision records, integrity verification and the automated test suite used to validate the experimental infrastructure. The five confirmatory conditions test sustained pattern formation, a non-pattern comparator, removal of external driving, local perturbation and recovery, and robustness to a change from periodic to no-flux boundary conditions. The software supports reproducible execution of the ten-seed confirmatory experiment and regeneration of the registered analysis outputs. This release implements the experimental methodology described in Working Paper III of the Theory of Everything Research Programme (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22857230) and is paired with the B1 confirmatory dataset and decision record (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.23075718). The scope is deliberately limited. The B1 experiment tests reproducible driven spatial organisation in a Gray–Scott system; it does not establish self-maintenance, organisational closure, life, consciousness, or resolution of Transition Problem 1.
