This is the program map. It places every part of the Universal Collapse Theory (UCT) corpus, states what kind of claim each part makes, and shows how each could fail. It is a structural reference, not an argument: it does not defend the kernel-first reading and it does not develop any domain — those jobs belong to other documents.

UCT offers three orientation surfaces, each answering a different question. Kernel First answers how to read the framework. The Reading Roadmap answers where to start. This document answers what the program is — its layers, its claim taxonomy, and its falsification structure. It is not the best first document for a casual reader; it is the best first document for anyone asking whether UCT has a coherent program architecture — levels, standards, tests, mappings, audits, and failure modes — rather than a single undifferentiated claim.

What this paper does not claim. This map does not prove the UCT kernel, validate the Law of Coherence, or establish any domain result by itself. It classifies the corpus, states the level of each claim, and identifies where falsification enters. The map is an accountability instrument — not evidence for the program, except insofar as it makes the program's commitments explicit.

Keywords: research program architecture; claim taxonomy; falsification; coherence-first; structural reference.


Places every part of the corpus, states what kind of claim each part makes, and shows how each could fail. A structural reference, not an argument — the accountability instrument that answers what the program is, once Kernel First has answered how to read it.
