From Chaos to Corroborated Action

Abstract

Paper 9 supplies SCT's unified variational foundation, a single action principle from which the SCT-MASTER field equation of Paper 8 and the NIPOK metric of Paper 7 are both derived via a disformally coupled two-scalar, Horndeski-class construction, closing the action-principle and derivation gaps flagged in peer review. It establishes leading-order ghost-freedom and the disformal coupling, with full nonlinear stability and the microscopic derivation deferred to later work.
