SYK — model index

Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model: N Majorana fermions with all-to-all random q-body coupling. The defining structural parameter for the universal large-N IR is q (which must be even — Majorana antisymmetry — and ≥ 2). The fermion number N and the coupling scale J set the UV / finite-N data but do not enter the leading large-N IR conformal dimension exposed here.

Provisional v2 view — RES not wired

Generated by docs/atlas/generate.jl — a pure VIEW over the *_registry.jl claims + the static test/INVENTORY.jsonl AST scan. No test is executed and no src is run; test/INVENTORY.jsonl is regenerated in-place (idempotently) from that static scan; fetch/@register untouched. Assurance labels are PROVISIONAL: residuals / confidence are not shown yet (RES not wired). Badges reflect the committed test AST, not the latest CI run — a hub can read green while its @test is red between regenerations. @sweep = a graceful regime-resolution gap, not card omission.

All (Quantity, BC) hubs src claims for SYK. Cells link to the per-hub card; = not yet implemented at that BC. The shape of the matrix is the gap visualisation: empty cells are where physics could be added next.
