Miss: nu*^4 blocks momentum identification

by Fudoshin Research·2026-08-20·S1·F-2026-08-20-D

In the full quadratic Lineage form, mass is amplified by nu*^4 in dQ/dM. Momentum weights become practically unidentifiable. Weight ID used a linearized model. That is a miss, not a footnote.

Problem under load

The governing equation and the equation you can fit are not the same object. Pretending they are is how a lab loses the right to say 'law.'

Primitive / definition

Exact v2 gradient: dQ/dM scales as M r^4 / Q, where r = nu*/nu0. Transport sensitivity scales as r^2. For large nu*, mass dominates the derivative landscape and beta collapse.

Method / protocol

The Stage E promotion fit a linearized instrument, not the full quadratic. This is recorded as a miss so later writeups cannot quietly treat identified beta as properties of the official invariant.

Result

Held. The linearized model is a measurement instrument. The quadratic form remains the proposed invariant. They must not be cited as one result.

Limitations and next

Open problem: reformulate the invariant for identifiability, or accept the asymmetry and identify beta only in the linear instrument.
