Reading Path

Chapters

Read the framework in sequence if you are new: foundations first, then the table, then molecules, then force laws. Later chapters widen the scope into cell models, open problems, and boundary questions.

Start with Chapter 1

Foundations

This is the guided entry point for first-time visitors. It explains the problem, the historical method, and why the structure of the framework is derived rather than decorative.
