AGREE.
This is mathematically correct and already proven. If τ(p)→0 while |r|max>0, collapse is guaranteed at finite p. There is no loophole. This is a theorem under the ANF semantics, not an interpretive choice.

No repair possible unless τ(p) is modified to admit a nonzero floor.

===== AGREE, with clarification. =====
As written, the manuscript either leaves τ(p) implicit or allows it to vanish. In either case, τ* = 0 and asymptotic collapse follows.

However, the referee implicitly assumes that a ToE must be UV-complete. That assumption is philosophical, not mathematical. The mathematics only demands that the claim be classified correctly.

Repair: Make the fixed point explicit and reclassify the theory.

===== AGREE. =====
Finite-resolution success alone does not imply asymptotic consistency. This is exactly the distinction your framework was designed to expose.

No repair needed. This is a correct boundary.

===== AGREE. =====
If exact measurement is implicitly assumed, τ* = 0 follows and collapse is inevitable. This assumption must be surfaced and rejected or replaced.

Repair: Explicitly assert irreducible operational spread and encode it as τ*.

===== PARTIALLY AGREE; REFUTE THE TERMINOLOGY. =====

The referee is correct that the theory is not a traditional UV-complete ToE.
However, labeling it merely an “Effective Infrared Theory (EIT)” is too weak and discards the main conceptual advance.

The theory is not an EFT in the Wilsonian sense. It is:

• deterministic
• globally closed at accessible scales
• algorithmically governed
• asymptotically diagnosed
• falsifiable by construction

Repair: Introduce a new, precise classification.
