Abstract: Derived Where Others DefineA Status Ledger of the Properties and Laws Quantum-Geometry Dynamics Obtains from Two Axioms, and of Those It Does Not Established physics introduces its central properties and laws by stipulation. Mass, momentum and energy are defined operationally or by appeal to the symmetries of a written-down action; the force law, the equality of inertial and gravitational acceleration, the number of spatial dimensions, and the direction of entropy increase are postulated; the couplings are fitted. Quantum-Geometry Dynamics (QGD) starts from two axioms and obtains these items as consequences. This paper sets out, item by item, what is derived, from which premises, and with what status. Mass, momentum, energy, heat, temperature and entropy are treated as aggregation operators on a single primitive: the momentum vectors of the preons(+) that constitute an object. The invariant speed limit, the first law of motion, momentum conservation, the weak equivalence principle (at the Euclidean scale), the Law of Discrete Momentum Change, three-dimensionality, and the irreversibility of causal succession are derived in the forms and at the scales stated. Electromagnetic and nuclear phenomena receive structural accounts, not theorems. Every result is labelled PROVEN, STRUCTURAL ACCOUNT, TESTABLE PREDICTION, or OPEN. A parallel ledger records what QGD does not derive: the numerical values of the grounding constants, the particle mass spectrum, charge quantisation, the Newtonian inverse-square dependence of gravity, nuclear saturation and shell structure, and related quantitative items. The paper claims a difference in the logical status of the two accounts — a Level 1 difference in the sense of P40 and P54. It does not claim empirical superiority. This document functions as a status ledger for the QGD / MPDT programme. It is intended to be read alongside the Problem Register, P42, P11, and the grounding papers (P14).
