# framed-rational status: MIXED -- exact framed-rational core; continuum constructs are confined to clearly-labelled [approx] / degenerate-idealisation comparisons (Tier 2/3/5 or measured-data), never to an exact claim. """ EM-1 prototype: finite U(1) lattice gauge structure on the FRC substrate. De-risks the EM-1 blueprint by checking its load-bearing claims: A. Exact U(1) gauge invariance of the plaquette field strength and Wilson action, as an INTEGER identity over Z/M (M = Omega-1, the phase cycle). B. Global-phase superselection (constant gauge transform changes nothing). C. Charge = winding index: holonomy of a loop = enclosed flux mod M; additive. D. Coulomb law: the static U(1) potential of a point charge reproduces the same lattice Green's function 1/(4 pi r) as the gravity paper. E. Sign: the field-quadratic (Wilson/Maxwell) action makes like charges REPEL, opposite to gravity's linear-coupling attraction.
