Abstract: This boundary document outlines a structural framework proposing that spacetime ($\mathcal{M}^4$) and dynamic physical phenomena are emergent, explicate projections of a static, 4-dimensional spatial tensor lattice ($T^{(4)}$). Rather than dynamically unifying quantum mechanics and General Relativity, this hypothesis treats both as lower-dimensional rendering artefacts of an $n$-dimensional sequential observer operator ($\hat{\mathcal{C}}$). The primary utility of this model is its purely geometric approach to the baryon asymmetry problem. We propose that particle identity and Charge/Parity (CP) violations are not intrinsic properties of dynamic fields, but native geometric orientations within a non-orientable bulk 4-manifold. Matter and antimatter are defined strictly as identical topological paths traversed in opposite orientations. This document formalises the axioms, isolates the established differential geometry, and defines the exact mathematical deficits required to render the hypothesis falsifiable—specifically, the challenge of deriving the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry ($\eta \approx 6 \times 10^{-10}$) exclusively from the baseline curvature of a non-orientable $T^{(4)}$ topology. Note: This is a working paper and structural boundary document, not a completed physical derivation. It maps the strict geometric parameters required, establishing a collaborative framework for differential geometers to execute the formal proofs. The technical companion document — "The Static Lattice Hypothesis: A Topological Model for Baryogenesis and Emergent Spacetime" — is available at doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20358712
