Master identity
\(2\omega_0 + 3 = c_{BD}\,P_0^2\)
Mechanism
The master identity is a structural closure on the canonical action. It relates the three field-theoretic constants \(P_0\), \(\omega_0\), and \(c_{BD}\) so that fixing the polytope (which fixes \(P_0 = 0.851\)) determines the other two without freedom. The identity is exact for the post-S35 canonical \(\omega(P) = (c_{BD} P^2 - 3)/2\); under that functional form, evaluating at \(P = P_0\) yields \(2\omega_0 + 3 = c_{BD} P_0^2\) algebraically.
Derivation
From the canonical action with field-dependent coupling \(\omega(P) = (c_{BD} P^2 - 3)/2\), the equilibrium value at \(P = P_0\) gives
$$ \omega_0 \;=\; \frac{c_{BD}\,P_0^2 - 3}{2}, \qquad 2\omega_0 + 3 \;=\; c_{BD}\,P_0^2. $$With \(P_0 = 0.851\) (from the 600-cell topological condition) and \(c_{BD} = 138{,}189\) (the renormalisation-group fixed point established in DCT_31 §B; \(\Delta c / c \sim 10^{-8}\) over 60 e-folds), the master identity yields \(c_{BD} P_0^2 = 138{,}189 \cdot 0.7242 = 100{,}077\), and \(2\omega_0 + 3 = 2 \cdot 50{,}037 + 3 = 100{,}077\). The two sides match exactly to all reported precision.
Method
The DCT prediction is computed from the polytope and group-theoretic inputs (canonical action, 600-cell topology, McKay correspondence; see /theory/). The measured value is taken from the published source cited above; the residual is the dimensionless difference relative to the measured value with its 1σ uncertainty.
The Python script below recomputes both sides from first principles plus the published measurement and prints the residual. It runs in standard Python 3 with no external dependencies beyond the Python standard library (math).

Closure check. Both sides evaluate to 100,077 to all reported precision.
The master identity closes exactly for the equilibrium values \(P_0 = 0.851\), \(\omega_0 = 50{,}037\), and the renormalisation-group fixed point \(c_{BD} = 138{,}189\). The identity is the structural anchor that fixes \(\omega_0\) and \(c_{BD}\) in terms of \(P_0\) once the polytope is selected.
