  "abstract": "---New in this version: Added a concise standalone technical note (PDF) that cleanly states the core δ definition, the white-noise floor derivation, and minimal reproducible code.---\n\n---\n\n*Code repository (canonical): https://github.com/UnitedColective/point-of-creation-framework\n\nThis version (2.1.0) corrects v2.0.0 (28 Jun 2026). v2.0.0 pointed at a GitHub path that does not exist (UnitedColective/potential-adventure) and shipped a 12.9 kB placeholder PDF. That version remains on the record as history.\n\nThe PDF on this version is a one-page deposit note, not the manuscript. Working write-up: PAPER.md in the GitHub repository.\n\nWe introduce the Point of Creation Framework (PCF), a domain-agnostic metric for detecting generative self-governance in time series:\n\nδ = &rho;₁(&Delta;&sup2;X) + 2/3\n\nwhere &Delta;&sup2;X is the second difference of any observable scalar sequence and &rho;₁ is its lag-1 autocorrelation. The expected value under white noise is exactly −2/3; thus δ > 0 indicates structure above the floor, and δ &asymp; 0 indicates collapse to the floor.\n\nWe apply this framework across four domains: prime gaps (δ = +0.154, N=3×10⁸, mod-24 clockwise rotation bias of 1.77×, p<0.01), cardiac HRV (NSR δ̄ = +0.029, p=0.002 vs. CHF δ̄ = +0.016, p=0.33, group difference not significant), neural iEEG metastability (superlinear scaling S ~ f^1.746, R&sup2;=0.858, n=51 trial-subject pairs, 3 subjects), and circadian gene expression (cancer cells show elevated harmonic phase alignment, p=4.24×10⁻⁴⁴; 8 timepoints preclude direct δ estimation).\n\nThe prime gap result is the most robust finding. The cardiac, neural, and circadian results are directional or exploratory and require larger samples and independent replication.\n\nCode and supplemental materials are included for reproducibility:\n\nhttps://github.com/UnitedColective/point-of-creation-framework",
