plain-language theorem explainer
In the full-theory gravity campaign ledger, a pillar benchmark flag may flip only when a named target result exists in kernel-checked, axiom-audited form. Campaign auditors cite this as the licensing rule that keeps the live boolean ledger honest. The declaration is a status-record fragment with no separate proof body; its force comes from the module's machine-checked flag discipline.
Claim. A full-theory pillar benchmark flag is allowed to become true only if the corresponding target statement has kernel-checked existence (no sorry, audited axioms, critic-passed). That existence is what licenses flipping the flag in the live ledger.
background
Module FullTheoryLedger is Phase 0c of the quantum-gravity full-theory campaign. It is a machine-checked status record: one boolean per pillar benchmark, and a flag flips to true only when its target theorem is kernel-checked, axiom-audited, and critic-passed.
The three pillars are classical recovery of Einstein gravity (action, operator, constraint algebra) in the 4D Lorentzian continuum limit; a well-defined quantum amplitude (substrate-to-geometry bridge plus path-sum measure with proved continuum limit); and at least one confirmed discriminating prediction (BMV entanglement witness or alpha effective-seam closure).
The module imports the seven-gaps CampaignLedger and re-anchors OPEN starting-line flags so the full-theory ledger cannot contradict the campaign it extends. Upstream kernel names in the dependency list are ILG/BIT weighting kernels elsewhere in the monolith; they are not the content of this licensing rule. Here "kernel-checked" means the Lean kernel accepted the proof.
proof idea
No proof body is attached (zero body lines). The declaration reads as a ledger-policy fragment inside the status module rather than a multi-step mathematical argument. Force comes from the surrounding definitions: boolean pillar flags, the master openness theorem that stays provable until every flag flips, and the closure criterion packaged as a definition so the eventual closed claim cannot drift from the flags. There is no algebraic reduction or lemma chain to walk.
why it matters
Without an explicit licensing rule, benchmark flags could be set by hand and the campaign ledger would lose its audit meaning. This fragment states the only admissible flip condition: kernel-checked existence of the target. Downstream siblings in the same module (Pillar1Closed, Pillar2Closed, Pillar3Closed, FullTheoryClosed, full_theory_not_yet_closed, starting_line_anchored) implement the three-pillar scoreboard and the master openness theorem that remains provable until every pillar flips.
In Recognition Science terms this is campaign infrastructure for the gravity side of the full theory, not a T5–T8 forcing step. It keeps classical recovery, quantum amplitude, and discriminating prediction claims from being marked closed before the corresponding theorems exist. Reported cross-module uses (cost algebra, alpha calibration, baryogenesis) look like name-collision edges on kernel/whose-style tokens, not conceptual dependents of this ledger rule.
