Family G — Papers 41–49, the Physical Sciences
The physical-sciences block. Twenty-four entries, seventy grade assignments. By the block’s own bulk, the nine papers remain mostly administration — both measures stand in the audit and must not be confused.

94% of assignments testable — the most testable family of the science shelf, because Papers 41 and 42 are physics-dense.
In plain words
The papers on suns, atoms, and energy are the most checkable science in the book, and they read like a well-stocked science shelf of their time — because that is what they are. Much of it is the era’s own physics, faithfully carried: some of it right, much of it since discarded, a little of it already out of date when written. The book’s smallest building block — an indivisible speck, exactly one hundred of which make an electron — does not exist. But two agreements stand out from everything else in this project, because the science they match was only published after the papers were supposedly finished in 1935: a particle, the mesotron, behaving exactly as the book describes, and the carbon cycle that fuels the sun. The explanation that fits every account — including the custodians’ own — is the long preparation: the papers were presented in the nineteen-thirties but readied for print over twenty years, and the sorting of “present-day knowledge” went on while the present day kept moving. Judged across that whole window, which is the standard this project has used from the start and has now settled for good, the pattern still holds: nothing in the book’s science needed knowledge from after its publication. The two late agreements stay flagged in the record, where anyone can see them.
What held up
- The mesotron (G5(i): RHYME) — the ledger’s richest agreement, resting on print of 1936–47.
- The carbon cycle (G13(ii): RHYME). Both carry the post-delivery rider permanently: flagged, never buried.
What didn’t
- The ultimaton — exactly one hundred to an electron — does not exist.
- The bulk of the failures are behind the era: the era’s own superseded physics, carried faithfully.
Family G is where the era-window ruling carried weight: the window is settled as print available between delivery (1934–35) and publication (1955), and every post-delivery agreement is flagged wherever it occurs, in this family and all others.
Status: Signed off by the editor November 5, 2026, together with the era-window ruling.
