Status of CCT

CCT is presented as a completed structural framework.

The purpose of this work is to establish a direction, not to exhaust its consequences. Further elaboration, formalization, or application is intentionally left open.

No additional CCT papers are currently planned by the author.

Future Work

  • The variable scale of civilizational individuals, which may limit detectability, is considered an important factor in the Fermi Paradox and may be addressed in future updates.
