     notes: "DOE Office of Science, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences article on Diag2Diag AI model for fusion plasma diagnostic recovery via super-resolution. Primary paper: Jalalvand et al., 'Multimodal super-resolution: discovering hidden physics and its application to fusion plasmas,' Nature Communications 16, 8506 (2025). DOI: 10.1038/s41467-025-63492-1. Key concept: AI gap-filling from correlated sensor indices maps directly to the multi-level rollup indexer in this research (see Research_enhancments.md §4.4)."

+    year: 2026
+    journal: "arXiv:2602.17656"
+    notes: "Fractional Fermi seas (FFS) via interaction cycles in Lieb-Liniger model. Key math: GHD equation ∂_t ϑ(λ) + a_eff(λ) ∂_λ ϑ(λ) = 0 with occupancy ϑ(λ) ≤ 1/(2W+1). Potential model for manifold scaling: ϑ(λ) ∈ [0,1] provides witness-like scalar; 1/(2W+1) gives discrete scale-band progression matching ncDerived scale-band logic."
