Raw Blame History

Historical Stellar Gas Model Ladder

Date: 2026-05-09

Decision: ADMIT_HISTORICAL_PRIOR_SURFACE

Claim boundary: this is a historical prior and routing surface. It does not claim that the current MaNGA proxy fit validates any physical law or detects a specific shock event.

Why This Helps

The stack now has a wide historical basis for stellar gas modeling rather than a single modern blob. Each law family gets a receipt role:

historical law -> observable hook -> current column/proxy -> gate

Current Support

  • Models mapped: 15
  • Admitted prior support: 4
  • Partial prior support: 11
  • No current observable: 0

Next Gate

The current support is strongest for velocity, dispersion, and named line-ratio proxy lanes. The next refinement is adding uncertainty, electron-density, temperature, and attenuation gates so Saha, radiative transfer, and shock-excitation support can move beyond proxy status.
