Usage in Publications

When using GIFT predictions:

  1. Cite framework: Use software citation above
  2. Cite specific results: Use the relevant document or triptyque entry
  3. Specify version: Always include version number (v3.4)
  4. Link repository: Include GitHub URL for reproducibility

Example

“We compare our measurements with predictions from the Geometric Information Field Theory (GIFT) framework [1], which derives Standard Model parameters from E₈×E₈ topology. The GIFT prediction for the CP violation phase is δ_CP = 197° [2].”
