This manuscript develops a nonlinear Einstein-locked readout theory within the certified OT/GKSL framework. Starting from exact reduced open-system equations on collective state manifolds, it constructs a nonlinear readout geometry from certified state-space records and shows that the reconstructed metric closes in Einstein-locked form: the gravitational kinetic block remains strictly standard, while readable state dependence is confined to a source-side constitutive sector together with its covariant response/exchange completion. The paper fills the structural gap between the previously established exact nonlinear reduced OT/GKSL equations and their controlled weak-field Newtonian recovery. It shows that the Newtonian sector is a corollary of a more general nonlinear readout closure, not the defining content of the theory. The manuscript also clarifies the operational consequences of this closure, including the separation between constitutive and holonomic visible branches and their relation to low-energy lock-in test strategies developed in companion works. Recommended reading order A safe reading order for a new reader is: Foundations — for the architecture, status map, certified-domain logic, and the visible/vacuum/dark triplet as an internal branch structure. Trilemma / Certified Readout Geometry — for the positive meaning of W_acc, the source-only placement rule, the Einstein lock, and the constitutive/holonomic split. Certified recoveries — to understand what a controlled recovery is and why a recovery is not the framework itself. Exact nonlinear reduced sector / numerical branch atlas — to see what “reduced exactness” means and why the reduced layer is a real nonlinear dynamical layer in its own right. Certified nonlinear Einstein readout — to see the nonlinear readout-core closure. Temporal / spacetime / causal-local certification papers — to understand certified solvability and finite-resource readout semantics. Mass generation and vacuum-like residual sourcing — to understand the first central physical extraction from the reduced constitutive–holonomic branch. Homogeneous vacuum-like specialization — to see how the lifted vacuum-like slot becomes physically meaningful after source/response closure under finite budget. CDM-like intermediate branch — to understand the branch-resolved visible/vacuum/dark triplet. Experimental protocols and numerical atlases — only at the end, so that the operational papers are read at the correct logical level. Three mistakes this advisory is designed to prevent Mistake 1: “The framework is just a modified-gravity proposal.”No. The Einstein kinetic block remains standard and universal; readable state dependence is forced onto the source/response side. Mistake 2: “Certification means the theory is weak, approximate, or only valid in a small region.”No. Certification is a structural statement about the domain on which a classical or low-energy readout claim is physically licensed. The boundary is a boundary of certified readability, not of the native dynamics. Mistake 3: “Visible mass, vacuum-like sourcing, and dark-matter-like behavior come from three unrelated additions.”No. The corpus presents them as three branch-resolved physical readings of the same reduced constitutive–holonomic architecture.
