About this note
A historical reconstruction of the renormalization, non-Fock vacuum, scattering-geometry, measure-mashing, and presheaf questions that preceded the December 2025 Yang–Mills vacuum ansatz.
Edition and scope
Version 1.0 — public website edition, September 2026.
This release is a canonical, source-bounded historical edition. It is not a priority claim, a proof of a renormalization theorem, or evidence that a dream supplied mathematical warrant. Unrecovered notes, drawings, dates, and reading records remain explicit limitations rather than hidden assumptions.
