What PUBLISHED means here (R72): two non-drafting AI lanes (gemini + grok) read this record's anchor citation on different objects and agreed it SUPPORTS the record's statement; no citation on the record is disputed as support; its machine certificate is current. What it does not mean: no person has signed off on this record (adjudication: NOT_ADJUDICATED), the drafting lane's own reads count for nothing, and 2 of 2 unblocked uses were REVIEWED — the rest were read by one lane or none. Every label shown is the label as printed in the suite of record (Rev33.1_S369 (PDF sha256 b64ddcd9e16a6dcd…)); no house tier is assigned.

LIB2-236 · Retired Wyler bounded-domain derivation of alpha

class RETIREDmath status (as printed) —attachment (as printed) —scorecard tier word (as printed) none printedhouse tier not yet assignedreview state PUBLISHEDentry version 7

Statement

The earlier bounded-domain programme presented Wyler normalization as a derivation of the electromagnetic fine-structure constant.

Scope

domain	The physical alpha derivation, including its flagged reduction and domain-selection subprogramme, not pure boundary-volume identities.

What this does not show. The physical-route retirement does not declare every Wyler evaluation, class identity or boundary-volume calculation mathematically false.

Sources in the suite of record

Key — use ≠ record. A review state printed on a source use below names that use — one citation of the suite, read by the lane named in its warrant — not this record. The record's own review state is the one in the table above and is unchanged by any use-level state; a use may be LANE_PROPOSED or REVIEWED while the record it sits on remains IN_REVIEW (R45, R49).

Quotes are verbatim from the sha-pinned text extraction of the Rev33.1 PDF (A1584 §2.2, S309): mathematical typography — radicals, exponents, ≅ — can appear displaced in the extracted line. The PDF page is authoritative; the quote is what the machine gate matched.

Appendix N, §1.1, Retirement of the bounded-domain alpha derivation — PDF p.264 (bytes of record)
review state: REVIEWED · role SUPPORTS · warrant: gemini read SUITE_TEXT_EXTRACT → SUPPORTS · grok read THE_RECORD → SUPPORTS

The bounded-domain programme is retired as a derivation of α.

Appendix N, §1, Declared electromagnetic input — PDF p.264 (bytes of record)
review state: REVIEWED · role CONTEXT · warrant: gemini read SUITE_TEXT_EXTRACT → CONTEXT · grok read THE_RECORD → SUPPORTS · the lanes disagreed; resolved by PI ruling R120 as CONTEXT — a ruling whose gloss the house owes; a use resolved by ruling never anchors PUBLISHED

The framework declares α (the U (1)EM fibre scale) an input.

Evidence (availability is not outcome)

kind	reference	line / key	availability	note
registry	Library v1 L103/L148/L271/P5/P56; candidate flags C2-137/C2-153/C2-175	—	shipped	The archive titles and S174 house flags identify the retired physical programme. Original production and house-file bodies are not attached.
registry	Appendix N §1.1, p.252; s256	—	shipped	The suite explicitly retires the bounded-domain alpha derivation. Its numerical evaluation and experimental comparison are not rerun or refreshed.

What was said, and what retired it

historical statement	The alpha_em conjecture was marked CLOSED, and the Wyler D_IV(5) formula was presented as an alpha_em derivation proof.
where it stood	Library v1 L103, L148, L271, P5, P56; C2-137/C2-153/C2-175 Wyler-programme headers
retiring decision	Appendix N §1.1, s256/S165; S174 RETIRED — WYLER PROGRAM flags reproduced in the three candidate rows
what the suite prints now	The bounded-domain programme is retired as a derivation of α. PDF p.252 (bytes of record)
why retired	scientific_supersession — from the record's own words: `LEGACY_SUPERSEDE_FLAG` → "RETIRED —"

A successor is linked, never "derived from" the retired statement (charter §10.10).

Why this record is PUBLISHED (R67, condition T-B)

states a predicate	yes
uses on the record · unblocked	2 · 2
uses any lane has read	2 of 2
REVIEWED SUPPORTS use on the predicate, read by two non-drafting lanes	yes (1)
a SUPPORTS use on the predicate is DISPUTED	no
machine certificate current	yes

A certificate says the record is well-formed, current, quote-on-page, label-literal, edge-resolved and binding-consistent on the bytes it was issued on. It is not a review, and it goes STALE the moment the master moves under it (R68). It is one conjunct of the PUBLISHED condition (R67), never the whole of it.

Drafting-lane note

The three house candidates are included as subprogramme provenance of one retired alpha derivation, not as three separate numerical successes or three new no-go theorems. L11/L12/L122 are not assigned as retired ancestors: their pure evaluation or volume claims need their original bodies.
