PRIMARY RESULT — UNIVERSAL ADMISSIBILITY HOLDS ACROSS ALL CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC PHASE CHAINS

The admissibility inequality inv(Pε; L) ≤ ν(Vε(L)) is satisfied across all 1,920 κ-step evaluations of the 8-material condensed matter gold-set corpus. Zero violations were recorded under any descriptor, material, or perturbation scale. The corpus spans ferroic phase chains, canonical polymorph oxide progressions, a metallic BCC/FCC pair, and a single-phase corundum control. Across this entire range — from the degenerate zero-vulnerability limit (Al₂O₃) to the highest-pressure polymorph case (SiO₂) — ordered crystallographic matter is structurally admissible.

FINDING 3.1 — DESCRIPTOR CHANNEL ANISOTROPY
Structural pressure loads asymmetrically across descriptor channels, with volumetric descriptors consistently carrying more pressure than axial parameters

Across all multi-phase materials, cell_volume, volume_per_atom, and volume_per_fu ladders accumulate higher mean ρ̄ than axial parameter ladders (a, b, c). In SiO₂, the c-axis is an exception — it carries the highest single-ladder pressure (ρ̄ = 0.499) — reflecting the pronounced axial anisotropy of the quartz→tridymite→cristobalite progression. In KNbO₃, only cell_volume crosses the Weak Persistence threshold (ρ̄ = 0.362), while all other channels remain Stable despite the same four-phase progression. This channel anisotropy is a systematic feature of condensed-matter admissibility, not noise.

FINDING 4.1
SiO₂ establishes a new Weak Persistence high-water mark for ordered non-biological systems — ρ̄ = 0.499 exceeds the prior physical corpus maximum

The prior maximum mean ρ̄ in the physical STRUC-I corpus was Si_density at ρ̄ = 0.424. The SiO₂ c-axis ladder (ρ̄ = 0.499) and cell_volume ladder (ρ̄ = 0.476) both exceed this benchmark, entering Weak Persistence. This confirms that polymorph progressions involving substantial geometric reorganization — as in the quartz→tridymite→cristobalite sequence — can load structural pressure above any previously documented physical system, while remaining fully admissible. The SiO₂ result expands the known range of the admissibility map for ordered matter.

§5 KEY FINDINGS SYNTHESIS
FINDING 5.1 — PRIMARY
The condensed matter gold-set corpus satisfies the Universal Structural Law across all 1,920 κ-step evaluations — zero violations in 8 materials, 48 ladders, 6 descriptor channels

Every crystallographic phase chain and polymorph progression in the corpus — from a single-phase corundum control to a four-state perovskite ferroic chain to a geometrically extreme silica polymorph system — is admissible under the USL. All 48 ladders satisfy inv(Pε; L) ≤ ν(Vε(L)) at every κ-step, with minimum Aκ = 0.9835. The condensed matter domain is empirically non-falsified.

FINDING 5.2 — DEGENERATE LIMIT
Al₂O₃ confirms the degenerate zero-vulnerability limit: a single-phase crystal has no gap spectrum and no admissibility pressure

With n=1 phase, Al₂O₃ (corundum) yields ρ = 0 across all 6 descriptor ladders. There is no ordering to test — the single phase trivially satisfies the inequality. This is expected and confirms the chamber handles the degenerate case correctly. Al₂O₃ serves as the internal control validating the pipeline.

FINDING 5.3 — MINIMAL PRESSURE REGIME
Two-state systems (Fe BCC/FCC, PbTiO₃) occupy the minimal-pressure regime with ρ̄ ≈ 0.009 — the lowest non-degenerate structural pressure in the corpus

Both Fe (BCC↔FCC, metallic) and PbTiO₃ (cubic↔tetragonal, ferroic) show mean ρ̄ ≈ 0.008–0.009 across all descriptors. This is consistent with the expected behaviour of a 2-state system with a single gap: only one vulnerability window exists and inversion pressure remains minimal. These two materials are structurally the most relaxed non-degenerate cases in the corpus, bracketing the low end of the condensed-matter pressure range.

FINDING 5.4 — FERROIC CHAIN PRESSURE GRADIENT
Ferroic phase chains show systematic pressure increase with chain length: PbTiO₃ (n=2, ρ̄≈0.009) → BaTiO₃ (n=4, ρ̄ up to 0.250) → KNbO₃ (n=4, ρ̄ up to 0.362 WP)

Among perovskite ferroic systems, structural pressure scales with both the number of phases and the geometric coherence of the progression. BaTiO₃ and KNbO₃ share the same 4-state phase sequence (rhombohedral→orthorhombic→tetragonal→cubic) but KNbO₃ loads substantially more pressure into volumetric descriptors, elevating cell_volume into Weak Persistence. This differential pressure loading between isostructural ferroics is a genuine structural finding — it quantifies the admissibility cost of the more anisotropic KNbO₃ lattice distortions.

FINDING 5.5 — POLYMORPH PRESSURE HIERARCHY
Polymorph oxide pressure hierarchy TiO₂ ≪ ZrO₂ ≪ SiO₂ reflects the geometric severity of structural reorganization across the polymorph sequence

TiO₂ (rutile/anatase/brookite, ρ̄ range 0.022–0.076) remains deeply relaxed. ZrO₂ (cubic/tetragonal/monoclinic, ρ̄ up to 0.192) shows moderate anisotropic loading. SiO₂ (quartz/tridymite/cristobalite, ρ̄ up to 0.499) loads four of six descriptor channels into Weak Persistence. The ordering reflects structural severity: TiO₂ polymorphs are all rutile-like frameworks with minimal reorganization; ZrO₂ involves a monoclinic distortion; SiO₂ polymorphs differ in framework topology (6-ring vs 4-ring tetrahedral networks), representing the most radical structural change in the corpus. The admissibility framework correctly ranks these by pressure.

FINDING 5.6 — CORPUS POSITION
The condensed matter domain occupies the range ρ̄ = 0.009–0.499, spanning from minimal metallic pairs to the highest non-biological pressure ever recorded in the corpus

The condensed matter corpus sits firmly within the admissible regime across its entire range. The overall ρ̄ span (factor ~55× from Fe to SiO₂_c) is wider than any prior physical domain in absolute terms. At the lower end, Fe and PbTiO₃ sit below the nuclear spectral minimum (ρ̄ = 0.103). At the upper end, SiO₂ exceeds the prior physical maximum and enters Weak Persistence — a regime previously occupied only by the biological deletion ladder (ρ̄ = 0.819) and the combined_del_single ladder (ρ̄ = 0.554). The condensed matter domain thus fills the structural pressure map between the relaxed physical regime and the biological deletion extreme.
