FINDING 01
Zero Hard USL Violations Across 80 of 81 Runs

Only 1 of 81 runs (TiO₂ density, giant ratio 0.8333) triggers Theorem 1, confirming a USL violation. All remaining 80 domains return verdicts consistent with structural admissibility. This is the central result of the corpus: at the current κ-grid range, real physical ladders are overwhelmingly admissible or inconclusive, with true structural failure appearing only in the one known pathological case.

FINDING 02
Three Distinct Percolation Regimes Confirmed Across Domains

The corpus cleanly partitions into three structural regimes distinguished by their κ_connect scale:
Immediate percolation (κ_conn ≤ 2): biological fitness landscapes, atmospheric wind fields, adversarial baselines, some condensed-matter.
Moderate delayed percolation (κ_conn = 10–8000): condensed matter solids (FeO, KSiO, Cu, VO), CMB spectra (230–2389), GPS crustal displacement.
Extreme delayed / tail-dominated percolation (κ_conn = 10⁴–4×10⁵): nuclear γ-level schemes, atomic spectra (Na, He-II, Li). These connect only at κ far exceeding the main grid, driven by astronomical gap ratios (max ratio up to 4×10⁵) yet structurally consistent.

FINDING 03
Biological Domain Shows the Lowest κ_connect Across All Physical Domains

All 7 biological runs (QT45 ribozyme fitness landscape) return FULL_PERCOLATION with κ_conn in the range 0.42 – 2.00 — the lowest of any physical domain. This means the fitness landscape gap structure is the most locally homogeneous in Δ-space of all systems tested. The result is consistent with the published biological extension article at unns.tech and confirms the earlier STRUC-BIO-I findings.

FINDING 04
Nuclear Domain Splits: 10 FULL, 4 TAIL — Correlated with Isotope Structure

The four TAIL_FRAGMENTATION nuclei are ²³⁸U, ¹⁵⁰Nd, ¹⁰⁰Mo, ⁴⁸Ca — all isotopes with known structural anomalies (deformed nuclei, shape coexistence, or collectivity transitions). Giant ratios range from 0.976 to 0.988, with tail dominance = 1.000 and astronomically large max ratios (up to 2×10¹⁸). These outliers are single extreme-energy γ-transitions far above the bulk level scheme. Theorem 1 does not apply (TAIL verdict), but the pattern is physically interpretable: structural irregularity in the level scheme produces outlier gaps that resist global connectivity at the tested κ scale.

FINDING 05
Cosmic Web Ladders Are the Only Physical Domain Lacking Direct κ_connect

All 5 cosmic web runs (2MRS, DESI synthetic, DESI sample, SDSS) return GIANT or TAIL verdicts with no κ_connect on the main grid and no adaptive extension result. Giant ratios are tightly clustered at 0.994–0.999. This is structurally different from the nuclear tail cases: the cosmic web ladders have isolated vertices at maximum κ that extension cannot resolve within the tested range, reflecting genuine large-scale void structure in the galaxy distribution. The 3 TAIL cases have tail dominance 0.913, driven by a max ratio of ~10⁶.

FINDING 06
CMB Percolates — But at Extreme Scale (κ_conn up to 2389)

All three CMB spectra (TT, TE, EE) return FULL_PERCOLATION after adaptive extension, but with dramatically different connectivity scales: TE connects at κ ≈ 230, TT at κ ≈ 322, EE at κ ≈ 2389. The large κ required reflects the multi-scale power spectrum structure — acoustic peaks create local gap homogeneity at specific scales, but the overall spectrum is too heterogeneous to bridge within κ ≤ 1. EE polarization requiring 10× larger κ than TE is a new discriminative result consistent with the different noise properties of these spectra.

FINDING 07
TiO₂ Density Is the Only Confirmed Hard Structural Failure

The tio2_density_ladder (cleaned dataset) returns HARD_FRAGMENTATION with giant ratio 0.8333 — the only run triggering Theorem 1. The companion tio2_cleaned_dataset run returns FULL_PERCOLATION at κ_conn = 681, showing that the raw density representation produces genuine structural fragmentation while the cleaned spectral dataset is admissible. This split is scientifically significant: it demonstrates that data pre-processing choice directly affects PRP verdict for the same physical system.

FINDING 08
Geoid / Gravity and Molecular HITRAN Show Persistent GIANT — Never Crossing to FULL

Six molecular species (H₂O, NH₃, CO₂, CH₄, O₃, CO) and all four gravity field models (Earth EIGEN-6C4, Mars JGM85, Moon AIUB-GRL350A, Earth spatial 2°) return GIANT_COMPONENT_PERCOLATION with giant ratios 0.997–0.9997, but no κ_connect on the main grid and no adaptive extension. This is the most structurally coherent GIANT cluster in the corpus: persistent near-complete connectivity without a small number of extreme outliers preventing closure. It suggests these systems are structurally admissible at scale but have isolated tail gaps that resist connection even at κ = 1.

⚠ INCONCLUSIVE — All 9 cases have tail dominance ≥ 0.913: isolated vertices are produced by single extreme outlier gaps, not structural fragmentation. Theorem 1 (necessary direction) does NOT apply. USL violation is not guaranteed. Diagnostic action: refine domain adapter to exclude pathological outlier transitions, or extend κ to astronomical scales.

TiO₂ DENSITY LADDER — THE ONLY USL VIOLATION CONFIRMED tio2_density_ladder · giant ratio = 0.8333 · Theorem 1 triggered
The raw TiO₂ density-of-states ladder returns HARD_FRAGMENTATION with giant ratio 0.8333 — the only run in the corpus triggering PRP Theorem 1. The companion tio2_cleaned_dataset run returns FULL_PERCOLATION at κ_conn = 681, demonstrating that the raw density representation contains genuine structural discontinuities that the cleaned spectral dataset does not.
This split confirms: PRP verdict is sensitive to data pre-processing for the same physical system. The raw DOS has large energy-range gaps not present in the cleaned spectral peaks ladder.

06DOMAIN PROFILES
MOLECULAR — HITRAN
6 runs · H₂O, NH₃, CO₂, CH₄, O₃, CO
All GIANT · avg GR = 0.9985
All six HITRAN molecular energy level ladders return GIANT_COMPONENT_PERCOLATION with giant ratios 0.9975–0.9993. No κ_connect is found on the main grid or via adaptive extension, indicating that isolated outlier energy gaps resist connection even at κ = 1. The giant component is near-complete — the overall HITRAN level structure is highly admissibility-consistent. The absence of FULL percolation (vs. earlier instrument versions) reflects the more discriminative IQR-scaled ε: these ladders have dense bulk level spacings (small IQR) but one or two extreme outlier gaps from high-energy vibrational series.
ATOMIC SPECTRA — QM-I/II
10 runs · H, He, Li, Na, Ca, Ag, Au + Zeeman variants
Mixed: 4 FULL · 5 GIANT · 1 TAIL
The atomic domain splits by measurement type. Zeeman ladder runs (Ca, H, He-singlet, Ag, Na) predominantly return FULL_PERCOLATION at extreme κ_conn (2×10⁵ – 4×10⁵), reflecting the fine-structure outlier transitions. QM-I series spectra (He-II, Li, Na duplicates) also return FULL at large κ. Au Zeeman is the single TAIL case (GR = 0.9944, tail dominance 0.998): the Au fine-structure ladder has a single extremely large outlier gap that dominates the gap budget completely. The universal Zeeman invariant (ρ ≈ 0.96 from prior corpus) is consistent with the κ_connect clustering in the 2×10⁵ – 4×10⁵ range for multiple elements.
BIOLOGICAL — QT45 RIBOZYME
7 runs · fitness landscape mutant classes
All FULL · κ_conn range 0.42 – 2.00
The QT45 ribozyme fitness landscape is the most immediately percolating physical domain in the corpus. All seven mutant class ladders (bp_mutants, single, double, deletion, combined) return FULL_PERCOLATION with κ_connect between 0.42 and 2.00 — the lowest connectivity threshold of any domain. This confirms and extends the published UNNS biological extension (March 2026): living matter fitness landscapes have the most homogeneous gap structure of any tested system, requiring only a 0.42× IQR tolerance to achieve global graph connectivity.
NUCLEAR — ENSDF γ-LEVELS
14 isotopes · ²⁴Mg through ²³⁸U
10 FULL · 4 TAIL · κ_conn: 3.8×10⁴ – 4.2×10⁵
The nuclear corpus is the most internally differentiated domain. The FULL percolating isotopes all connect at large κ (37k – 418k), driven by tail-dominated gap structures (tailDominance 0.946–0.996): a small number of high-energy γ-transitions create extreme outlier gaps but the bulk of the level scheme is structurally coherent. The 4 TAIL cases (²³⁸U, ¹⁵⁰Nd, ¹⁰⁰Mo, ⁴⁸Ca) have tail dominance = 1.000 with astronomical max ratios (10⁹–10¹⁸), indicating single pathological transitions that cannot be bridged within the extension range. Notably, ⁴⁸Ca — previously identified as a cross-constant anomaly in the α-sweep corpus — again appears as a structural outlier here.
CONDENSED MATTER
12 runs · Si, Ge, Cu, FeO, TiO, TiO₂, VO, KSiO, O, SnO
11 FULL · 1 HARD (TiO₂) · κ_conn: 0.75 – 8072
The widest κ_connect range of any domain (0.75 for SnO to 8072 for VO cleaned). Simple elemental metals and oxides (SnO, Si, Ge) connect within κ ≤ 10; complex transition-metal compounds (FeO, Cu, O) require κ ≈ 94; vanadium oxide and TiO₂ cleaned require κ in the hundreds to thousands. The TiO₂ raw density ladder is the corpus's only HARD_FRAGMENTATION case. VO appears twice (density and cleaned): both return FULL, but at very different scales (κ = 2.00 vs. 8072), demonstrating strong representation sensitivity.
CMB — PLANCK 2018 POWER SPECTRA
3 spectra · TT · TE · EE
All FULL · κ_conn: TT=322, TE=230, EE=2389
All three CMB power spectra percolate via adaptive extension. The ordering TE < TT < EE by κ_connect is physically interpretable: TE (cross-correlation) has the most regular spacing between acoustic features; TT (temperature) is slightly more heterogeneous; EE (polarization E-mode) requires 10× larger κ, reflecting lower signal-to-noise and finer multi-pole structure near recombination. The factor of ~10 spread (230 vs. 2389) is a new discriminative result from the IQR-scaled engine that was not visible in earlier median-scaled runs.
COSMIC WEB
5 runs · 2MRS · DESI sample/synthetic · SDSS · redshift
2 GIANT · 3 TAIL · no κ_connect
The cosmic web domain is structurally distinct: no run achieves κ_connect on the main grid or via extension. Giant ratios cluster tightly at 0.994–0.999. The 2MRS and SDSS ladders return GIANT; the three DESI-based ladders (sample, synthetic, redshift) return TAIL with tail dominance 0.913 and max ratio ~10⁶. The DESI ladder void gaps are physically real — large-scale voids create radial separations orders of magnitude larger than typical filament spacings. The cosmic web requires either an adaptive extension far exceeding the current range, or a void-aware adapter that treats void structure separately from filament structure.
07STRUCTURAL PERCOLATION REGIMES
REGIME I — IMMEDIATE
κ_conn < 2
Biological (QT45) · Atmosphere (ERA5) · SnO · Si · Ge · Adversarial baseline
Smooth, locally homogeneous gap structure. Small IQR relative to gap range. No significant outliers. Physical interpretation: systems with near-uniform spacing or very regular excitation ladders.
REGIME II — MODERATE DELAY
κ_conn = 2 – 10³
Condensed matter (most) · CMB (TT, TE) · Geodesy (GPS)
Structured gap distributions with band-gap or multi-scale features. One or more secondary scale regimes. Physical interpretation: systems with competing length or energy scales producing bimodal or multi-modal gap distributions.
REGIME III — EXTREME DELAY
κ_conn = 10³ – 4×10⁵
Nuclear (ENSDF) · Atomic spectra · CMB EE · Weak ladders
Astronomically large tail gaps. Tail dominance > 0.95. Bulk structure is coherent; connectivity blocked only by a handful of extreme outlier transitions. Physical interpretation: discrete energy systems with rare high-energy excitations far above the bulk spectrum.

08THEORETICAL STATUS
NECESSARY DIRECTION ESTABLISHED
PRP Theorem 1 (established): Non-percolation in the full pairwise vulnerability graph ⟹ USL violation guaranteed.

Across 81 runs, Theorem 1 fires exactly once (TiO₂ density, giant ratio 0.8333). All 9 TAIL_FRAGMENTATION cases correctly suppress Theorem 1 — fragmentation is outlier-driven, not structural.

The zero-violation rate across 80 of 81 runs is the central empirical result: physical systems at the constant values of α, μ, αₛ, αG appear to universally satisfy the structural admissibility condition.
SUFFICIENT DIRECTION OPEN CONJECTURE
PRP Conjecture 1 (open): Percolation ⟹ admissibility. Not proven.

All 71 runs returning FULL or GIANT verdicts are consistent with Conjecture 1 but do not prove it. The conjecture remains open. Each percolating run should be verified independently via STRUC-I v1.0.4 to confirm inv(Pε; L) ≤ ν(Vε(L)) directly.

The sufficient direction proof would require showing that the PRP connectivity condition is not only necessary but sufficient for the inversion bound — a result not established by this corpus.
09INSTRUMENT & METHOD NOTES
STRUC-PERC-I v2.4.0 — ENGINE PARAMETERS FOR THIS CORPUS
ε SCALE — κ · IQR(Δ), fallback to κ · median when IQR = 0. Replaces median-only scaling used in v2.3.1 and earlier, which produced false universal percolation.
MICRO-GAP FLOOR τ — 0.1 × median(Δ). Gaps below τ are not connected. Prevents degenerate near-zero gaps from flooding the graph at κ → 0.
MAX_WINDOW = 64 — Limits transitive union reach per step in the sliding window. Prevents false full-percolation via transitive chaining of dense clusters.
OUTLIER THRESHOLD — max(10×med, 5×IQR). Hybrid threshold catches extreme tails even when median is small relative to distribution width.
ADAPTIVE EXTENSION — data-aware targets [2, 10, √scale, scale] where scale = min(maxRatio, 10⁶). Plateau: growth < 10⁻⁴ OR relGrowth < 10⁻³.
HARD_CAP — 200,000 gaps. Larger ladders are downsampled via uniform stride. LARGE_RENDER_THRESHOLD = 20,000 for UI guards.
