-## Overview

-**Chronos-EntropyDepth** is a core research repository within the **Unified Rigidity Framework (URF)**.  
-It formalizes and studies *Entropy-Depth* as a universal obstruction to fast computation under locality, bounded information flow, and admissible refinement processes.
+Chronos-EntropyDepth is a core research repository within the Unified Rigidity Framework (URF).
+It formalizes and studies Entropy-Depth as a universal obstruction to fast computation under locality, bounded information flow, and admissible refinement processes.
 
 The repository contains definitions, constructions, and executable artifacts supporting lower bounds on sequential refinement depth, with applications to SAT, locality-restricted algorithms, and capacity-limited computation.
 
 This repository is intended to be:
-- Audit-ready
-- Reproducible
-- Structurally minimal
-- Consistent with URF admissibility standards

+Core Concept: Entropy-Depth
 
-Entropy-Depth (ED) measures the minimum sequential depth required for any admissible process to resolve a system with initial entropy \( H(X) \), under bounded per-step information gain.
+Entropy-Depth (ED) measures the minimum sequential depth required for any admissible process to resolve a system with initial entropy ( H(X) ), under bounded per-step information gain.
 
 Informally:
-- Local or bounded-width computation can only extract a constant (or polylogarithmic) amount of information per step.
-- High-entropy instances therefore force *long sequential depth*.
-- ED lower bounds translate into intrinsic time lower bounds for large classes of algorithms.

 Chronos is the structural program establishing, amplifying, and certifying these bounds.

-## Scope of This Repository
+Scope of This Repository
 
 This repository focuses specifically on:
 
-- Formal definitions of Entropy-Depth
-- Chronos amplification mechanisms
-- Locality-based obstructions (FOᵏ, WLᵏ, bounded-radius refinement)
-- Certified negative results for shallow refinement
-- Executable witnesses and verifier-friendly artifacts
-
-It does **not** attempt to:
-- Solve P vs NP outright
-- Enumerate all SAT algorithms
-- Replace general complexity-theoretic models
-
-Instead, it isolates *structural limits* shared by broad algorithmic classes.
