The Boson Substrate Model (BSM) defines a minimal structural substrate intended to support higher‑order operator dynamics without encoding domain‑specific semantics or empirical claims. Rather than proposing a new physical theory, the BSM formalizes a coherent substrate layer in which boson‑like operators propagate, interact locally, and preserve structural invariants under declared operating regimes. By making substrate assumptions explicit—such as coherence conditions, locality constraints, and boundary semantics—the model enables inspection, validation, and reproducibility of substrate behavior independent of implementation details. The BSM is architecture‑agnostic and compatible with layered modeling approaches, providing a stable foundation beneath higher‑level systems without constraining their semantics or objectives. This work presents the declared operating regimes and validation checks that define the conditions under which the substrate remains coherent and analyzable.
