QLF Flow Chart — a visual map of the framework

This is a one-page visual map of the Quantum Logical Framework (QLF) — a formal proof system, machine-verified in Lean 4 across 89 modules with zero sorry, that derives quantum mechanics and spacetime from a single selection principle: Zero Free Action (ZFA) balance. Every chart below shows one domain; the boxes are clickable (this is a PDF/HTML perk — GitHub disables Mermaid node links), and each Open line lists the documents that derive that domain.

How to read it: one substrate → four families → ten domains → the individual results. Click a box to jump to its section or open its source document; use the table of contents to navigate. To save as PDF: open this file in a browser, then File → Print → Save as PDF (keep “Background graphics” on).
