Independent Research Context
In practical terms, this affects how the project is scoped and communicated: questions are framed carefully, and claims are explicitly delimited at this stage.
This context is stated explicitly as a matter of transparency, rather than as a claim of exception or opposition to established academic work.
The research did not originate within a conventional disciplinary training program. Instead, it developed through sustained engagement with foundational questions across physics and related fields, with particular attention to the assumptions that structure existing explanations.
This background shapes the scope and approach of the project. Rather than advancing specialized techniques or results, the work focuses on examining conceptual preconditions that are often treated as settled within formal research contexts.
The absence of institutional affiliation or formal specialization is not presented as an advantage in itself. It is simply the condition under which this inquiry has taken place, and it informs both the questions being asked and the care taken to delimit what is—and is not—being claimed at this stage.
