### Logical proof (verify each step)
1. Articles are voxel graphs of tiered claims, not prose blobs. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/constitution
2. Claims link to hash-chained sources via source_ids. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/articles/convergence-disconfirming-edges/sources
3. Ask reads topology; ingest/claim append to ledger. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/protocol
4. Models queue growth: populate → collaborate → repair → reflex. → https://miscsubjects.com/api/protocol/grow
5. Graph proves its own shape (reflex) and $/claim (yield). → https://miscsubjects.com/graph.html?layer=reflex

The Claim

Five edges document tensions between nodes that prevent the graph from closing.

Definitions

A disconfirming edge is a tension between two nodes where one claim contradicts another. A node is one claim in the convergence graph. A graph is the set of nodes and edges. A settlement criterion is the observation that would resolve the tension.

The Logic

1 If two nodes contradict, then a disconfirming edge exists. 2 If the tension is unresolved, then the graph is open. 3 If a node has no disconfirming edge, then it is suspect. 4 If selection (C09) exhausts apparent purpose, then teleology (C25) is redundant. 5 If teleology has a physical mechanism, then selection is insufficient. 6 If FEP (C13) is universal, then criticality (C05) is derivable from FEP. 7 If criticality resists derivation from FEP, then FEP's universality weakens. 8 If emergence (C21) reduces to least action (C02), then new principles are not irreducible. 9 If emergence requires new Lagrangians at each scale, then reductionism fails. 10 If symmetry (C03) implies necessity, then fine-tuning (C24) implies contingency. 11 If fine-tuning is a selection effect, then symmetry is not fundamental. 12 If branching (C16) is optimal transport, then scale invariance (C10) is not the primary cause. 13 If branching is fractal geometry, then optimization is not the primary cause.

The Evidence

Edge 1 (C09-C25): Selection has empirical support (T1). Teleology has no accepted physical mechanism (T3/T4). The burden rests on teleology. Edge 2 (C13-C05): Friston et al. (2012) attempted to derive criticality from FEP. Others contest the derivation. Beggs and Markovic maintain criticality is distinct. Edge 3 (C21-C02): Effective field theory partially resolves this. Higher-level Lagrangians derive but remain computationally irreducible. Others dispute the ontological status. Edge 4 (C24-C03): String theory has ~10^500 vacua. Loop quantum gravity does not yet predict constants. Neither resolves the tension. Edge 5 (C16-C10): Bejan's constructal law derives branching from optimization but assumes fractal Ansatz. WBE derive 3/4 scaling from network geometry plus minimization.

The Falsifier

If a disconfirming edge resolves without observing the settlement criterion, then the graph closes. If a node lacks a disconfirming edge because it is isolated, then the graph closes. If the graph suppresses tensions, then the graph closes.

The Uncertainty

Edge 2 awaits new FEP literature. Edge 4 remains unresolved. Edge 5 has no confirmed resolution.
