CMDE 4.1 Validation Suite v2 – Code directory

Purpose
This directory is reserved for code components related to the CMDE 4.1 Validation Suite v2. In this version of the archive no executable source code is distributed. The suite is fully documented at the level of mathematical definitions and numerical pipelines in the documentation files and in the test blocks.

Scope
All tests in the CMDE 4.1 Validation Suite v2 can be reproduced by any independent implementation that follows the August 2025 formulation of the CMDE 4.1 informational time function z(t) and the numerical procedures described in the documentation (README and Reproducibility Note). The absence of distributed source code does not limit the scientific content or the reproducibility of the suite.

Local use
Users who download this archive and wish to develop their own implementation of the CMDE 4.1 time metric or to write scripts for reproducing the tests may, if they wish, keep such local files inside the “code” directory of their own copy of the archive. This is purely for local organisation and does not affect the official Zenodo record, which in this version distributes documentation and numerical tests only.

References
Official bibliographic information for the CMDE 4.1 Validation Suite v2 is provided in the metadata of its Zenodo record. Bibliographic information for the related CMDE 4.1 manuscripts is provided in the metadata of their respective Zenodo records.
