Axiom 5.1. Tomita-Takesaki gives every algebra-plus-state a canonical intrinsic dynamics; Connes' cocycle theorem makes it state-independent modulo inner automorphisms. Setting the specious present at 100 ms implies an effective modular temperature near 8e-11 K.

This claim

depends-on A phenomenal subject is a split inclusion at a resolution epsilon, not a region.

depends-on Local algebras in relativistic QFT are type III-1 factors, so they contain no minimal projections and admit no normal pure states.

Moves against it

refutes Fluctuation-dissipation fixes beta_eff at the tissue temperature, so one unit of modular parameter is 25 femtoseconds and the 8e-11 K figure is a restatement of the specious present rather than a prediction.

refutes Modular flow on a type I factor lies in the trivial outer class, so the split factor that Axiom 4.1 identifies with the subject carries no state-independent intrinsic time.

refines Every numerical and dimensional computation in Chapters 4 and 5 is correct as stated, and the only free choice hidden in the modular temperature is that one unit of modular parameter equals one specious present.

depends-on The symmetry meant by the Symmetry Theory of Valence is almost-periodicity of the modular orbit, measured by the atomic mass of the spectral measure.
