# Research areas at a glance

Not every directory is a finished application. This map explains the purpose of each area and where to read more.

## Three direct starting points

| Area | Purpose | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Astrolabium | Explore signals, Fourier representations and spectral graph models. | Browser application with documented numerical checks and limits. |
| Signal Validation Lab | Compare four processing methods against known signals. | Synthetic experiments with export and replay. |
| Causal-Set Lab | Generate and examine finite causal orders. | Research prototype; not evidence for quantum gravity. |

## What do the project names mean?

| Name | Plain-language purpose | Important limit |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Lorentz / causal orders | Studies relationships, structural features and geometric estimation tasks. | Matching signatures do not automatically mean identical orders. |
| RAX / RAX-CQG | A relational research programme and architecture for further questions about quantum dynamics. | The programme and finite benchmarks are not an established physical theory. |
| X6-QE | Exact graph examples about spectra and lost structural information. | Not a general qualification of quantum or spacetime claims. |
| Industrial denoising | Investigates useful signal reconstruction for machinery. | Limited data pilot; no demonstrated superiority of a new filter. |
| ACVM / Sagnac / photonics | Control channels, reference workflows and optical experiment designs. | Software checks and firmware builds do not replace electrical or optical measurement qualification. |
| Edge Reference | Local execution and export as a starting point for applications near devices. | Not a generally qualified distributed hardware product. |
| NQK, Experiment Fabric, Neutral Discovery | Separate research sources or dossiers listed in the module register. | Some are only on research branches; historical NQK test archives are missing. |

The Paderborn pilot uses existing real laboratory data. Its small sample counts do not establish general industrial performance. Data rights are documented separately; the software licence does not cover every dataset automatically.

## Find the authoritative version

1. Open the module catalogue and search for your topic.
2. Read the source location and commit. MAIN and BRANCH_ONLY describe locations.
3. Open the original documentation and its evidence report.
4. Check the next outstanding acceptance test. Dated research notes supplement the register for later studies.

This wiki edition explains the published state through PR #42 on 16 October 2026. The register is also a dated snapshot. An older source pin is not automatically the latest state of every subsequent study.
