# Atomic Clocks — Structural Alignment

This directory contains the complete scaffolding for the Resonance‑Time
(RT) and Validated Spacetime (vST) alignment work applied to modern
atomic timekeeping. It includes the full whitepaper, standalone
structural artifacts, and an educational vST‑lite demonstration
notebook.

## Contents

- **whitepaper.md**  
  Combined Zenodo‑ready paper integrating all sections.

- **whitepaper/**  
  Individual section files used to assemble the full paper.

- **triadic_decomposition/**  
  Structural definition of the (R, I, F) triad.

- **vst_definition/**  
  Structural definition of the second.

- **drift_detection/**  
  Resonance invariants for drift detection.

- **roadmap/**  
  Adoption pathway for research groups and standards bodies.

- **notebooks/**  
  vST‑lite demonstration using synthetic clock data.

## Purpose

This directory provides a minimal, architecture‑agnostic framework for
interpreting atomic timekeeping through the lens of Resonance‑Time. The
goal is to supply a validation layer that clarifies structure, reduces
conceptual drift, and supports future standards without altering current
practice.
