4 · Macro Gap Normalized Ladder

Normalized magnitudes of all macro-classified gaps per element, sorted descending. Bar width = norm_gap / 1.0. Gap 0 is the ground-state jump. Subsequent entries trace successive principal shell boundaries. H I and He II are expected to produce near-identical ladders (hydrogenic universality test).

6 · Structural Findings

✓ F1 — Three-Scale Hierarchy Is Universal Across All Five Spectra
Every spectrum — regardless of atomic number or electron count — produces the same three-tier gap classification under identical thresholds: macro for principal shell transitions, meso for subshell/orbital transitions, and micro for fine-structure splitting. This hierarchy was not tuned per element; a single fixed threshold pair applied uniformly recovers it in all five cases. This is the primary positive result of the QM-I cross-atom experiment and directly supports the UNNS prediction that admissibility geometry constrains spectral structure universally.
✓ F2 — Macro Gap Count Conserved At 8 For Hydrogen-Like Systems (H I, He I, He II)
H I, He I, and He II each yield exactly 8 macro gaps, corresponding to the principal shell boundaries n=1→2 through n=8→9 resolved within each NIST dataset. The agreement across Z=1 and Z=2 confirms that the α-filter and macro threshold together correctly resolve the 1/n² gap decay ladder independent of nuclear charge. Li I (6) and Na I (14) deviate due to multi-electron quantum-defect effects — a physically correct departure, not a chamber artifact.
✓ F3 — H I / He II Macro Ladder Matches To Within 2% (Hydrogenic Universality)
The normalized macro gap sequences for H I and He II are nearly identical across all 8 positions:
H I: [1.000, 0.562, 0.197, 0.091, 0.049, 0.030, 0.019, 0.013]
He II: [1.000, 0.556, 0.194, 0.090, 0.049, 0.029, 0.019, 0.013]
Both are single-electron systems governed by E_n ∝ −Z²/n², and the chamber recovers this from raw NIST data with zero element-specific tuning. Under UNNS interpretation, the substrate operator Ω assigns equivalent structural certification to both systems — the same recursive ladder is recognized regardless of Z.
⚠ F4 — Li I Macro Ladder Compressed After Gap 0 (Quantum-Defect Deformation)
Li I shows a dominant gap_0 (norm=0.793) followed by five tightly clustered macro gaps in the narrow range [0.016–0.029] — a factor-of-27 drop, versus factor-of-1.8 in H I. This is not a chamber artifact. The 1s² core in Li pushes valence electron energies and compresses inter-shell spacing relative to hydrogen, producing the observed compact ladder. The 4-regime segmentation (n=1 through n=4) correctly reflects the NIST Li I dataset coverage. The compressed macro ladder is a genuine structural difference between hydrogenic and alkali spectra.
⚠ F5 — Na I Has 14 Macro Gaps; 11 Alpha Suppressions (Densest Macro Structure)
Na I produces 14 macro gaps — double any other element. The first two (0.334, 0.260) correspond to the 3s ground state and the 3p doublet boundary. The remaining 12 sit tightly above threshold (0.012–0.031). The high count reflects Na I's large NIST dataset (430 levels) spanning n=3 to ~n=20, with quantum-defect compression keeping many shell boundaries near but above 0.01. The 11 α-suppressions (highest in set) confirm the α-filter is correctly vetoing false regime boundaries in the monotonically shrinking high-n tail — without α-filtering, Na I would generate spurious regimes.
⚠ F6 — He I Dominates Degeneracy: 138 Exact + 156 Near Clusters (|V|/N = 0.941)
He I has the most degeneracy in the set by a large margin. The two-electron fine structure produces triplet/singlet states that are closely spaced or exactly degenerate at NIST source precision, and high-n configurations accumulate near-degenerate families of increasing multiplicity. 94.1% of He I eigenvalues are vulnerability nodes — the highest |V|/N in the batch. Under UNNS, this means He I sits at the admissibility boundary: its spectrum is maximally constrained by the micro-gap structure, with ν(V)/N = 0.478 indicating a substantial inversion budget is required to remain admissible.
✓ F7 — Na I Has The Lowest Vulnerability Ratio (0.312) — Most Robust Spectrum
Na I's |V|/N = 0.312 is the lowest in the set, well below He I (0.941), He II (0.980), and Li I (0.912). This is explained by Na I's meso-dominated composition (75.8% meso): the majority of consecutive level pairs are intermediate-scale gaps, leaving few micro adjacencies and therefore few vulnerability nodes. Under UNNS, Na I is the most structurally robust spectrum in this batch: its ν(V)/N = 0.161 means the maximum independent set covers only 16% of the eigenvalue sequence — a low inversion budget, indicating strong admissibility constraints are satisfied with high structural margin.
· F8 — Meso Fraction Encodes Atomic Architecture
The meso fraction is the most discriminating single metric across elements: H I 54% · He I 11% · He II 10% · Li I 43% · Na I 76%. Hydrogen-like systems have low meso fractions because 1/n² spacing means most intra-shell gaps are micro-scale. Multi-electron systems (Li I, Na I) have high meso fractions because orbital mixing and quantum defects spread energy levels more uniformly within shells. The chamber recovers this automatically from raw eigenvalues with no knowledge of orbital structure — precisely what UNNS admissibility geometry predicts: structural scale ratios emerge from the recursive nesting properties of the substrate, not from chemical labeling.

All five spectra are structurally admissible. The Li I and Na I anomalies are physically explained by quantum-defect shifts in multi-electron atoms and represent a natural deformation of the hydrogenic pattern under electron correlation — not violations of the admissibility hierarchy. The three-scale structure is unbroken in all cases.

8 · Data Quality Notes

· H I — 57 Precision-Truncated Gaps
The NIST hydrogen dataset stores high-n levels as integers, producing 51 identical 3.0 cm⁻¹ gaps plus a few near-identical multiplets in the fine-structure band. All flagged gaps classify as micro. No effect on macro/meso structural results.
· Li I — 6 Precision-Truncated Gaps (J-Doublets At Source Resolution Limit)
Six Li I gaps are recorded at identical float64 values — genuine near-degenerate J-doublets stored at 2 decimal place NIST precision (uncertainty ~0.10 cm⁻¹). All classify as micro. No structural impact.
· He I, He II, Na I — Zero Precision-Truncated Gaps
All three datasets pass the precision detector at tolerance 1e-10 cm⁻¹. He I's extensive near-degeneracy is captured correctly by the degeneracy detector (exact/near clusters) rather than the precision-truncation detector, which is the correct categorical separation.
