Policy version 2026-10-18-v1 / Effective October 18, 2026

Website terms

Using NetPhysics research pages, models, downloads and contribution services.

NetPhysics is an independent research website founded by Christopher Hill. These terms explain the intended use of its public pages, models and contribution services. Effective October 18, 2026.

Research purpose and current status

The website explores relationships among geometry, energy, information and physical systems. It distinguishes established findings from proposed extensions, illustrative models and unresolved questions. The wider framework is a research proposal, not an established theory of everything. A simulation result is a result of the stated model; it is not evidence that the modeled mechanism occurs in nature.

Tools and downloads support research and learning. Their outputs depend on inputs, assumptions, numerical methods and stated limits. Verify results independently before relying on them in a physical experiment, engineering design or other consequential decision.

Use of materials

You may read, link to and cite the public pages, and download and run the supplied models for personal research and education. Cite the relevant version and date when reporting results. Any license accompanying an individual download governs that download. No ownership of third-party papers, datasets, software or images is transferred by linking to them; their original terms continue to apply.

You may report criticism, errors and independent findings. Do not present NetPhysics, a linked institution or a cited author as endorsing your work without permission. No patent license is granted by these website terms.

Contributions

Contributions follow the separate Contribution policy. The form is a private email intake, not a public publishing system. Sending material does not create employment, an agency relationship, a paid commission, a partnership, a confidentiality agreement or a transfer of intellectual-property ownership. It does not guarantee a reply, review or publication.

Responsible access

Do not use the contribution form to send unlawful material, personal records about other people, material you lack permission to share, malware or abusive messages. Do not bypass submission limits or disrupt the service. NetPhysics may limit access needed to protect the service and its users.

Availability and limitations

The pages and tools are provided as available, and errors or interruptions may occur. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no warranty of completeness, accuracy, fitness for a particular purpose or uninterrupted availability is made. This statement does not remove any rights or liability that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

External websites have their own terms and privacy practices. A citation or link identifies a source or resource; it does not establish affiliation or endorsement. Changes to these terms will carry a revised effective date.
