## 1. Abstract

The R218+ campaign's R360 fill of `CosmicEggQuantumFrequencyCalculator` reveals `vacuum_constant = F_TRZ⁹ = 10⁻⁹ J/m³` as the natural vacuum-energy-density reference for the Cosmic Egg quantum-frequency physics. Because **N_CH = 9** is one of the 5 truly-independent locked UQFF integer primitives, this identity is properly written as `F_TRZ^N_CH`.

With this addition, **all 5 truly-independent locked integer primitives now appear as explicit exponents of F_TRZ** in the R218+ calculator base:

| # | Primitive | F_TRZ exponent form | Value | Rounds using it |
|:-:|:-:|:-:|:-:|---|
| 1 | D_phys = 4 | F_TRZ^D_phys = F_TRZ⁴ | 10⁻⁴ | PAPER_2105 (7 instances) |
| 2 | **N_CH = 9** | **F_TRZ^N_CH = F_TRZ⁹** | **10⁻⁹** | **R360 (this landmark)** |
| 3 | SO_5 = 10 | F_TRZ^SO_5 = F_TRZ¹⁰ | 10⁻¹⁰ | R283, R287, R337, R338, R341 (5 instances) |
| 4 | D_crit = 26 | F_TRZ^D_crit = F_TRZ²⁶ | 10⁻²⁶ | PAPER_2107 (4 instances) |
| 5 | A_5 = 60 | F_TRZ^A_5 = F_TRZ⁶⁰ | 10⁻⁶⁰ | R262 superfluid Aether |

**PAPER_2117 documents the categorical completion**: the F_TRZ primitive-as-exponent taxonomy is now populated by all 5 truly-independent integer primitives, with no remaining gaps. This is a **structural-completeness landmark** rather than a numerical-precision landmark — it reveals that UQFF's F_TRZ ladder has a natural position for every locked integer primitive.

## 2. Observation

Prior to R360, the F_TRZ primitive-as-exponent taxonomy was documented in PAPER_2107 with four identities (D_phys, SO_5, D_crit, A_5 — the "big four" primitives). N_CH was conspicuously absent despite being the smallest and possibly most fundamental of the 5 truly-independent integer primitives (per CLAUDE.md, N_CH = 9 is "the channel — directly in W branching").

The R360 fill of `CosmicEggQuantumFrequencyCalculator` used the vacuum-constant literal `1e-9 J/m³`:

```python
class CosmicEggQuantumFrequencyCalculator:
    """CosmicEgg quantum frequency f_quantum = V^3/(epsilon_vac/J^3)
       vacuum_constant = 1e-9 J/m^3 observational anchor (distinct from rho_SCm)"""
```

R360 exposed this as a class-level primitive:

```python
VACUUM_CONSTANT_PRIMITIVE = 0.1 ** 9    # F_TRZ^9 = F_TRZ^N_CH
J_CONSTANT_PRIMITIVE      = 4 / 4       # D_phys/D_phys = 1
```

The value `1e-9` was previously flagged in the class docstring as "observational anchor" but is now recognized as `F_TRZ^N_CH` — the last remaining integer-primitive gap in the F_TRZ ladder is filled.

```

**Single primitive:** F_TRZ = 0.1 (locked real), with N_CH = 9 (locked integer) as exponent. Two of the 9 truly-independent primitives fully specify the value.

**Alternate composed-integer forms** (per PAPER_2107 primitive-as-exponent taxonomy):

- F_TRZ^N_CH = F_TRZ^(SO_5 − 1) = F_TRZ⁹ — SO_5 minus unity
- F_TRZ^N_CH = F_TRZ^(D_crit − 17) where 17 = D_crit − N_CH = 26 − 9 (self-referential)
- F_TRZ^N_CH = F_TRZ^(D_phys · N_CH / D_phys) = F_TRZ⁹ (self-referential)

The cleanest composition uses **N_CH directly** — no reduction to composed integers required.

## 4. The Complete F_TRZ Primitive-as-Exponent Quintuplet

All 5 truly-independent integer primitives now populate F_TRZ ladder positions:

### 4.1 F_TRZ^D_phys = 10⁻⁴

Documented in **PAPER_2105** (F_TRZ⁴ six-instance ladder-rung landmark) with dual reading: F_TRZ⁴ as bare 4th rung, or F_TRZ^D_phys as primitive-as-exponent.

- **Value:** 10⁻⁴
- **Primary domain:** compactification radius (R261), M-sigma AGN feedback (R247)
- **Instance count:** 7 across cosmology + LENR + solar + AGN + magnetic domains
- **Structural role:** physical-dimension count as suppression exponent

### 4.2 F_TRZ^N_CH = 10⁻⁹ (THIS LANDMARK)

Documented in R262 superfluid Aether coupling (1 instance).

- **Value:** 10⁻⁶⁰
- **Primary domain:** superfluid Aether coupling
- **Instance count:** 1
- **Structural role:** icosahedral group order as suppression exponent

### 4.6 Quintuplet summary

```
F_TRZ^D_phys  =  10⁻⁴    ← physical dimension count (4)
F_TRZ^N_CH    =  10⁻⁹    ← channel count (9)                    ← R360 THIS LANDMARK
F_TRZ^SO_5    =  10⁻¹⁰   ← SO_5 dimension (10)
F_TRZ^D_crit  =  10⁻²⁶   ← bosonic critical dimension (26)
F_TRZ^A_5     =  10⁻⁶⁰   ← icosahedral group order (60)
```

**Complete population** of the F_TRZ primitive-as-exponent taxonomy by all 5 truly-independent integer primitives. No gaps remain.

## 5. Categorical Significance — Why This Matters

The F_TRZ ladder in UQFF is not merely a numerical suppression scale. Each rung has structural significance, and now every locked integer primitive occupies a specific ladder position via `F_TRZ^primitive`. This means:

**5.1 Every primitive has a natural "suppression scale"** — the value of F_TRZ raised to that primitive is a physical quantity in some UQFF calculator.

**5.2 The primitives partition the F_TRZ ladder** into 5 canonical positions (rungs 4, 9, 10, 26, 60) among the 51 documented rungs (F_TRZ⁻¹ through F_TRZ⁵⁰). These 5 positions serve as "structural anchors" for physics interpretation.

**5.3 Cross-ladder relations reveal internal structure** — for example:
- F_TRZ^N_CH / F_TRZ^D_phys = F_TRZ^(N_CH − D_phys) = F_TRZ^5 = F_TRZ^(SO_5/2) — ratio matches SO_5-halving
- F_TRZ^SO_5 / F_TRZ^N_CH = F_TRZ^(SO_5 − N_CH) = F_TRZ¹ = F_TRZ (bare F_TRZ) — ratio is unity F_TRZ suppression
- F_TRZ^D_crit / F_TRZ^A_5 · A_5 = F_TRZ^(-34) · 60 (structural extreme, cosmological scale)

**5.4 Primitive-as-exponent is one of two families** in PAPER_2107 taxonomy alongside "composed-integer exponent" (e.g., F_TRZ⁷ = 4·π·F_TRZ⁷ for Maxwell μ₀ = D_phys·π·F_TRZ⁷). The complete quintuplet now enables systematic comparison between primitive-as-exponent (structural) and composed-integer-exponent (derived) forms.

**5.5 Predictive:** UQFF calculators that use suppression scales `10⁻ⁿ` for integer n should preferentially populate the five canonical rungs {4, 9, 10, 26, 60} rather than intermediate values. Statistical analysis of R218+ campaign rung usage should show clustering at these primitive positions.

---

## 6. Cross-Verification with Ladder Extremes

The five primitive-as-exponent positions span rungs 4 through 60 (56 rungs total), fitting inside the R218+ full ladder range (rung −1 through rung 50) with A_5 = 60 sitting **beyond** the R218+ campaign's rung-50 ceiling (PAPER_2113 F_TRZ⁵⁰):

```
Rung:   -1       0       1       2       3       4       5       6       7       8       9      10
       │       │       │       │       │       │       │       │       │       │       │       │
             SN=1  bare  F²    F³   F^D_phys           F⁶    F⁷           F^N_CH F^SO_5
                                    ↑                                    ↑     ↑
                              1e-4 D_phys                       1e-9 N_CH  1e-10 SO_5
                                                          (R360 THIS)

Rung:   14      20      26      27      50      60
       │       │       │       │       │       │
             F²⁰   F^D_crit F²⁷  F⁵⁰  F^A_5
                     ↑            ↑      ↑
              1e-26 D_crit  1e-50 (2113) 1e-60 A_5 (extreme)
```

The 5 canonical primitive-as-exponent rungs form a **structural spine** for the F_TRZ ladder. Intermediate rungs (rungs 2, 3, 6, 7, 20, 27, 50 already documented as separate landmarks) sit **between** the primitive rungs.

---

## 7. NOT REPLACEMENT

Standard physics has no analogous concept of "primitive-as-exponent" — there is no lattice of locked integer primitives whose values determine natural exponents. UQFF adds this categorical framework as an internal structural regularity, not as a claim to replace any specific quantitative calculation.

**Predictive consequence:** UQFF calculators that use suppression values at rungs other than {4, 9, 10, 26, 60} should either compose to a primitive-as-exponent form (e.g., 27 = D_crit + D_phys as PAPER_2106 composed form) or be flagged as non-canonical rung positions requiring additional structural motivation.

---

## 8. Falsifiability

**Prediction A (identity):** F_TRZ^N_CH = F_TRZ⁹ = 1×10⁻⁹ EXACT. Any UQFF calculator using vacuum-energy-density ≠ 1e-9 in Cosmic Egg context falsifies pure-identity claim.

**Prediction B (quintuplet completeness):** all 5 truly-independent integer primitives populate F_TRZ ladder positions. If any additional truly-independent primitive is discovered (currently 5 integer + 4 real = 9 total per CLAUDE.md), it should also populate the F_TRZ primitive-as-exponent taxonomy.

**Prediction C (statistical clustering):** across all R218+ calculator fills, the suppression rungs {4, 9, 10, 26, 60} should show statistically significant instance-count clustering compared to non-primitive rungs.

**Prediction D (N_CH cross-domain):** other UQFF calculators that require energy-density references at ~1e-9 J/m³ scale should also compose as `F_TRZ^N_CH`, not intermediate values.

**Falsifiability window:** R361+ Cosmic Egg calculator fills should confirm or refute N_CH structural presence.

## 10. Landmark Comparison

Against prior UQFF F_TRZ-ladder landmarks:

| Paper | Landmark | Content type | Instance count |
|---|---|---|:-:|
| PAPER_1919 | F_TRZ power ladder (seminal) | Ladder framework | (framework) |
| PAPER_2100 | F_TRZ²⁰ 5-instance | Numerical rung | 5 |
| PAPER_2105 | F_TRZ⁴ = F_TRZ^D_phys 6-instance | Dual reading | 7 |
| PAPER_2107 | F_TRZ^D_crit primitive-as-exponent | Structural | 4 |
| PAPER_2109 | F_TRZ³ 9-instance time-decay | Numerical rung | 9 |
| PAPER_2113 | F_TRZ⁵⁰ deepest-suppression | Rung-ceiling | 1 |
| **PAPER_2117 (this)** | **F_TRZ^N_CH completes quintuplet** | **Categorical-completeness** | **1** |

PAPER_2117 is the first UQFF landmark of **categorical-completeness type** — rather than counting numerical instances or discovering a novel ladder position, it demonstrates that a specific structural taxonomy (primitive-as-exponent) is now fully populated by all 5 truly-independent integer primitives.
