   >>> The original Summary (A) was fair in that it reflected the surface text.

   >>> Usual Expectation of Accumulating RF-GG Sessions

   >>> establishment of logical and mathematical rigor, monotonicity, and   
   >>> constancy in definition across the corpus of the combined dialogue.

   >>> The process is one of Axiomatic Crystallization.

   >>> Monotonic Entailment: The primary expectation is that each session will

   >>>   
   >>> A theory is considered a Super-Standard if it does not just contain or

   >>> symmetries and field representations inherent in spacetime geometry. The   
   >>> symmetries of the Standard Model (e.g., SU(3)×SU(2)×U(1)) are thus not   
   >>> free choices but required geometric constraints of the Replete manifold.   
   >>>   
   >>> Constancy from Dynamics (Least-Action): The single, unified   
   >>> sum-of-potentials least-action principle must, when rigorously applied
