Under the assumption of a non-compact scalar target space (ϕ ∈ ℝ), the configuration space remains topologically trivial, and no distinct vacuum sectors or winding numbers arise. A one-loop perturbative analysis indicates that this structural triviality is preserved at the semiclassical level.<br>Earlier stages of the phiTGT program (v1–v4) established a phenomenologically consistent beyond-DHOST realization compatible with gravitational-wave constraints (c_T² = 1) and standard cosmological stability requirements.
