NIST atomic spectra (97 obs \(\times\) 118 elements)
| Prediction / mechanism | Conformal-wall invariance theorem applied to 97 spectral observables across 118 elements; one structural pass, not 107 independent fits. |
|---|---|
| Measured | NIST Atomic Spectra Database v5.11. |
| Residual / status | HIT — structural pass |
| Status | HIT |
| Source paper | DCT-FND-V2 |
Mechanism
Conformal-wall theorem protects the atomic-physics SM sector; the NIST spectra inherit the SM values to spectroscopic precision.
Derivation
The derivation chain follows the cluster paper DCT-FND-V2 and reduces to the canonical DCT constants (\(P_0 = 0.851\), \(\omega_0 = 50{,}037\), \(c_{BD} = 138{,}189\), master identity \(2\omega_0 + 3 = c_{BD} \cdot P_0^2 = 100{,}077\)). See the cluster paper for the full multi-line derivation.
Methodology
| Domain | Atomic / precision QED (ATOM) |
|---|---|
| Input data source | See "References" below for the canonical public-archive citation. |
| Measurement procedure | The measured value used here is the most recent peer-reviewed central value plus 1σ uncertainty from the cited reference. |
| Acceptance threshold | HIT: residual within 1σ of measurement. SOFT: directional agreement within bracketing range. OPEN: untested or unresolved. |
| Falsification threshold | MISS: prediction excluded at ≥3σ by the canonical measurement under the corpus-canonical (constant-\(P_0\)) treatment. |
| Current status | See verdict pill above. |

Audit notes
This sub-page is part of the post-build-out of the observable archive (see the observable index). Verdict reflects the corpus-canonical (constant-\(P_0\)) treatment. The cluster-paper deep-link above (DCT-FND-V2) is the canonical source of the derivation chain.
