Stellar Gas Shock Eigen Fit

Date: 2026-05-09

Decision: ADMIT_NONZERO_PHYSICAL_SHOCK_SUPPORT

Claim boundary: observation-proxy fit only. This does not claim astrophysical validation, stellar shock breakout detection, or causality.

What Changed

The physical shock eigen axis now has a nonzero observation-backed proxy from SDSS DR17 MaNGA DAPall gas and velocity columns.

prior strength:      0.000000
proxy mean:          0.461376
nonzero fraction:    0.992236
refined strength:    0.647177
support delta:       0.647177

Next Work

  1. Add emission-line index metadata so the 35-element MaNGA arrays become named H-alpha, H-beta, OIII, NII, and SII lanes.
  2. Replace the current proxy with line-ratio diagnostics and uncertainties.
  3. Compare high-score rows against Rankine-Hugoniot / Sedov-Taylor receipt gates only after source-specific physical context is present.
