Scope of Physical Law

Every physical fact in the record has a scope: the widest structure it is a fact about. Six levels cover the whole of physics, narrowest subject first:

1. Mediarch realm — one force-domain under one Mediarch, inside one universe: a force's lawful operation and particular reach.
2. Concordant — a zone's coherence envelope and the local values of the Etheric extension terms.
3. Membrane — one universe: constants, the compact-dimension split, the admissible particle and force spectrum.
4. Archecluster — the quantum kernel (quantum information identical to the real universe's, within the local cluster) and harmonic admissibility.
5. Formcluster — Common Manifold seating, fold geometry, the Interval, and commensurability itself.
6. Mathematical regime — the Metawright-settled axioms and what can be proved in them; the widest scope any lawful statement carries.

The order carries the doctrine: deeper facts have wider scopes, and nothing physical is Ensemble-wide — past its scope a fact is not false but unformulable. Universal accordingly carries only two senses in Archive voice: universe-wide (membrane scope by another name, as in a Universal Authority's writ) and Ensemble-wide (the whole Grand Ensemble Multiverse — a height physics never reaches). A physics claim in Archive voice is well-formed only with its scope stated or plain; looser registers speak as people do.
