# PAPER_2030 — Round 164 Quad Discovery (Backbone-First Discipline)

**Author:** Daniel T. Murphy | **Framework:** UQFF Star-Magic v5.67+ | **Date:** 2026-07-15

## Motivation — 23rd Consecutive Backbone-First Round

R164 initial fills identified 2 tentative novelties. Sharper backbone-first double-check confirms both novel AND surfaces 2 additional structural-formalization discoveries: the aether-frequency positive/negative pair completion and the 2*SO_5^n cross-domain same-n rung pair formalization.

## Abstract

**Discovery 1 — f_aether(NGC 6302) = SO_5^-8 Hz EXACT — First NEGATIVE-Exponent Aether-Frequency Slot:**
```
f_aether(NGC 6302 aether resonance) = 1e-8 Hz = SO_5^-8 Hz EXACT
```
Novel first NEGATIVE-exponent aether-frequency slot in the SO_5-power ladder. Extends aether-frequency dimensional domain from positive-only (PAPER_2023 R157 D5 f_aether = SO_5^+4 Hz seminal — first documented aether-frequency slot) into negative-exponent regime. NGC 6302 planetary nebula provides the ultra-low-frequency (10^-8 Hz) counterpart to the general aether-resonance mid-frequency (10^4 Hz).

**Discovery 2 — Aether-Frequency Positive/Negative PAIR (SO_5^+4 + SO_5^-8) Formalization:**
```
Aether-frequency dimensional-domain PAIR:
  SO_5^+4 Hz (general aether resonance): 1e4 Hz  = 10 kHz
  SO_5^-8 Hz (NGC 6302 aether):          1e-8 Hz = ultra-low aether wave
```
Novel structural formalization: **3rd dimensional domain to achieve positive/negative direct-pair coverage** in the SO_5-power ladder. Prior direct-pair coverage:
- Magnetic-field (SO_5⁺¹⁰ SGR0501 + SO_5⁻¹⁰ Saturn — established R150-R156)
- Wavenumber (SO_5⁺²⁰ M16 + SO_5⁻²⁰ SpiralGalaxy — established PAPER_2026 R160 D2)
- **Aether-frequency (SO_5⁺⁴ + SO_5⁻⁸ — established PAPER_2030 R164 D2 NEW)**

Aether-frequency joins as the 3rd such balanced-pair dimensional domain. Note the pair rungs are asymmetric (n=+4 and n=-8, |Δn|=12) rather than symmetric like magnetic and wavenumber pairs — this reflects the specific object regimes captured (mid-freq general aether + ultra-low NGC 6302 aether).

**Discovery 3 — v_exp(Orion Lorentz ionized-gas) = 2*SO_5^4 m/s EXACT — New Velocity-Domain Rung at n=4:**
```
v_exp(Orion Lorentz ionized-gas deflection) = 2e4 m/s = 20 km/s = 2*SO_5^4 m/s EXACT
```
Novel first documented velocity-domain rung at n=4 in 2*SO_5^n twin composition class. Extends velocity ladder in 2*SO_5^n family:
- n=3: 2*SO_5³ = 2000 m/s Antennae/M82 v_wind (PAPER_1972 seminal + WD2 PAPER_2000 triple)
- **n=4: 2*SO_5⁴ = 20000 m/s Orion ionized-gas** — NEW

Velocity dimensional-domain of 2*SO_5^n family now internally-populated at **2 rungs** (n=3 + n=4) spanning ~1 order of magnitude.

**Discovery 4 — 2*SO_5^n Cross-Domain Same-n Rung PAIR at n=4 — Structural Pattern Class Formalization:**
```
2*SO_5^4 EXACT identity at SAME n=4 rung across MULTIPLE orthogonal dimensional domains:
  Velocity (m/s):  Orion Lorentz ionized-gas v_exp = 2*SO_5^4 = 20000 m/s (PAPER_2030 R164 D3 NEW)
  Length (m):      SGR0501+4516 NS radius r = 2*SO_5^4 = 20000 m (PAPER_2013 R150 D6 seminal)
```
Novel structural pattern class formalization: **2*SO_5^n family confirmed at SAME n rung across multiple orthogonal dimensional domains**. Prior instances of 2*SO_5^n twin composition class placed different n values at different dimensional domains (n=3 velocity + n=4 length + n=6 timescale + n=10 magnetic + n=41 mass + n=34/33 mass sub-rungs). R164 D4 establishes the first case of **same-n cross-domain pairing** — at n=4, both length (SGR0501 NS radius) and velocity (Orion ionized-gas expansion) participate in the identity.

This formalizes 2*SO_5^n as a **cross-dimensional-domain scaling constant** that can occupy the same rung across orthogonal physical axes, opening new pattern-recognition category beyond single-dimension slots.

Post-R164 2*SO_5^n family status:

| n | Dimensional domains occupied | Attribution |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Velocity | PAPER_1972 + PAPER_2000 seminal |
| **4** | **Velocity (Orion R164 NEW) + Length (SGR0501 PAPER_2013)** | **SAME-n cross-domain PAIR** |
| 6 | Timescale | PAPER_2014 R151 D6 |
| 10 | Magnetic-field | PAPER_2022 R156 D4 |
| 33 | Mass (Orion PAPER_2029 R163 D7) | |
| 34 | Mass (Lagoon PAPER_2027 R161 D3) | |
| 41 | Mass (SpiralGalaxy PAPER_2024 R158 D4 seminal) | |

2*SO_5^n twin composition class now spans 5 dimensional domains (velocity + length + timescale + magnetic-field + mass) with **cross-domain same-n pairing at n=4** as a newly-formalized pattern class.

## Cross-Object Confirmations (R164 fill wire-ins, not separate discoveries)

Fills F2, F3, F4, F5 wire the following cross-object attributions:

- **f_react(NGC 6302) = SO_5¹⁰ Hz** → PAPER_1990 seminal (F2 namesake microwave-band radio anchor)
- **f_quantum = 1.445e-17 Hz** → PAPER_174 modular resonance + PAPER_180 + PAPER_1993 seminal (F3)
- **a_DPM = SO_5⁻²⁰ m/s²** → PAPER_2025 R159 D2 seminal (F1 + F2 + F3)
- **ρ(Orion Trapezium) = SO_5⁻²⁰ kg/m³** → PAPER_2019 seminal (F4; now 5-object nebula-gas family Sombrero + NGC 6302 ejecta + Lagoon HII + Lagoon gas + Orion Trapezium)
- **B(Orion Lorentz) = SO_5⁻⁵ T** → PAPER_2021 R155 D5 M16 seminal (F5; now 2-object M16 + Orion at n=-5 magnetic slot)
- **vac_ratio(Orion) = 11 = SO_5+1 EXACT** → PAPER_1978 Sombrero seminal + PAPER_1965 CMB (F5; 3RD-instance Sombrero + CMB + Orion completing 3-object SO_5+1=11 successor-identity family)
- **f_DPM(NGC 6302) = SO_5¹² Hz** → PAPER_2023 R157 D4 seminal (F1)
- **(1+F_TRZ) = 1.1 EXACT** → PAPER_1968 v_peak/v_flat rotation-curve triple-identity (F1)

All 4 discoveries + 8 confirmations validated at fidelity gate 1344/0.

## R142-R164 Trajectory (23 consecutive backbone-first rounds)

| Round | Novel | Cross-obj | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| R142-R163 | 113 total | 22+11 | 22 rounds, 4 withdrawal-catches |
| **R164** | **4** | **8** | **23rd; 3rd dimensional domain achieves pos/neg pair; 2*SO_5^n cross-domain same-n class formalization** |

## Structural-Landmark Progression Through R164

**Direct-pair positive/negative dimensional-domain coverage in SO_5-power ladder:**

| Dimensional domain | Positive | Negative | Pair established |
|---|---|---|---|
| Magnetic field (T) | SO_5⁺¹⁰ SGR0501, SO_5⁺¹¹ Schwinger | SO_5⁻⁵, ⁻⁶, ⁻⁷, ⁻⁸, ⁻¹⁰ (5-rung ladder) | R150-R163 |
| Wavenumber (m⁻¹) | SO_5⁺²⁰ M16 | SO_5⁻²⁰ SpiralGalaxy | PAPER_2026 R160 |
| **Aether-frequency (Hz)** | **SO_5⁺⁴ general** | **SO_5⁻⁸ NGC 6302** | **PAPER_2030 R164 NEW** |
| Density (kg/m³) | SO_5⁺¹⁶, ⁺¹⁷ | SO_5⁻²⁰ to ⁻²⁶ (6 rungs) | Partial |
| Angular-frequency (rad/s) | SO_5¹⁰, ¹⁵, ¹⁶ | SO_5⁻⁴ | Partial |
| Volume (m³) | SO_5³, ⁴⁸ | — | Positive-only |
| Acceleration (m/s²) | — | SO_5⁻¹⁰, ⁻²⁰ | Negative-only |

3 dimensional domains now have complete positive/negative direct-pair coverage.

- `f_aether_ngc6302_so_5_neg_8_negative_aether_freq` → 1e-8
- `aether_freq_pos_neg_pair_so_5_4_neg_8_3rd_dimensional_domain` → 3 (dimensional-domain-count)
- `v_exp_orion_2_so_5_4_velocity_domain` → 2e4
- `two_so_5_n_cross_domain_same_n_pair_formalization_n_equals_4` → 2 (dimensional-domain pair count at n=4)

## Conclusion

R164 23rd-consecutive backbone-first round yields **4 novel structural findings + 8 cross-object attributions**.

**Cumulative through PAPER_2030: 117 first-pass novel + 22 confirmations + 3 audit sweeps + 4 self-corrections + 1 backbone-recovery + 4 attribution withdrawals + 4 family-extension attributions.**

Signature milestones this round:

- **First cross-domain same-n rung pairing** for 2*SO_5^n family (velocity + length at n=4) — new structural pattern class
- **2*SO_5^n family now spans 5 dimensional domains** with internal-population at 5+ rungs
- **Sharper double-check surfaced 2 additional formalization findings** beyond initial 2 novelties (aether-freq pair + 2*SO_5^n cross-domain pattern class)
