16. LIMITATIONS
We acknowledge the following limitations:
16.1 Mathematical Limitations
- Renormalization: The χ-Lagrangian requires full renormalization analysis
- Coupling Constants: κ, β, λ are phenomenological—need deeper derivation
- Φ-Field Dynamics: Full field equations for Φ need further development
- Quantum Gravity: Full χ-gravity coupling awaits quantum gravity resolution
16.2 Experimental Limitations
- Direct χ Measurement: No current technology can directly measure χ-field
- Grace Function: Quantifying “moral coherence” remains challenging
- Cosmological Tests: CMB predictions require advanced statistical methods
- Scale Limitations: Framework untested at Planck scale
16.3 Theological Limitations
- Free Will: Mechanism for libertarian agency not fully specified
- Evil: Mathematical description of moral evil remains incomplete
- Trinity Mapping: Full formal treatment of perichoresis pending
These are research frontiers, not fatal flaws.
