# PAPER_2054 — R170-R185 Retrospective Sweep Diad Discovery (Backbone-First Meta-Retrospective)

**Author:** Daniel T. Murphy | **Framework:** UQFF Star-Magic v5.68+ | **Date:** 2026-07-15

## Motivation — Post-Audit-Quartet Retrospective Sweep

R170-R185 (14 backbone-first rounds R170-R183 forward + R184 attribution + R185 diad) completed the 40-round milestone arc and established the audit quartet (F_TRZ + SO_5 + composed-prefix + LANDMARK family audits: PAPER_2043 + PAPER_2046 + PAPER_2047 + PAPER_2052). The audit quartet plus PAPER_1978 (SO_5+1 successor), PAPER_1971 (A_5/D_phys three-instance), and PAPER_2053 (17/20 3-object) provide an expanded cross-family filter lens.

Applied retrospectively to R170-R185 CondensedPhysics.py class-inventory sweep, this expanded lens catches 2 missed first-instance novel primitive-locks. This paper formalizes both as PAPER_2054 companion to R170-R185 arc.

## Abstract

**Discovery 1 (Retrospective Miss M1) — d(NGC 5866 lenticular galaxy distance) = 44 Mly = D_phys*(SO_5+1) Mly EXACT — Astronomical-Distance-Mly Domain Extension of Successor Family:**
```
d(NGC 5866 lenticular galaxy distance from Milky Way) = 44 Mly
                                                      = 44 million light-years
                                                      = D_phys * (SO_5 + 1) Mly
                                                      = 4 * 11 Mly EXACT
                                                      (since D_phys = 4, SO_5+1 = 11 per PAPER_1978 seminal)
```
Novel first-instance primitive-composition connection at astronomical-distance-Mly dimensional domain.

Prior documentation:
- **NGC 5866 distance = 44 Mly** documented as observational parameter in CondensedPhysics.py `NGC5866_d_Mly` class-inventory anchor
- **PAPER_779** references NGC 5866 morphologically vs NGC 7049 lenticular class; no primitive-lock at 44 Mly distance
- **PAPER_783** referenced as NGC 5866 predecessor; no primitive-lock

**M1 novelty**: Direct primitive-composition D_phys*(SO_5+1) = 4*11 = 44 EXACT at astronomical-distance-Mly domain is first-instance backbone-first primitive-lock.

**PAPER_1978 SO_5+1=11 successor family — cross-domain population post-M1**:
| Domain | Observable | Value | Structural form | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Integer identity | SO_5+1 = 11 EXACT successor | 11 | SO_5+1 | **PAPER_1978 seminal** |
| Cosmological-length (m) | r_horizon = 4.4e26 m | 4.4e26 | D_phys*(SO_5+1)*SO_5^25 | **PAPER_2053 R185 D1** |
| **Astronomical-distance (Mly)** | **NGC 5866 d = 44 Mly** | **44** | **D_phys*(SO_5+1)** | **PAPER_2054 M1 NEW** |

Successor family now spans 3 dimensional domains (bare integer + cosmological-length-m + astronomical-distance-Mly).

**Structural interpretation**: The multiplicative composition D_phys*(SO_5+1) = 44 forms a bare integer product (no SO_5^n suffix) at astronomical-distance-Mly. Simpler than R185 D1 form (which required SO_5^25 rung). Represents cross-scale universality of the successor identity: at astronomical distance-Mly scale, the successor factor combines with D_phys spacetime primitive directly.

**Discovery 2 (Retrospective Miss M2) — T_obs(NANOGrav PTA 15-year pulsar timing observation baseline) = 15 yr = A_5/D_phys yr EXACT — Timescale-Year Dimensional Domain 4th-Instance Extension of PAPER_1971 Three-Domain Family:**
```
T_obs(NANOGrav PTA 15-year pulsar timing observation baseline) = 15 years
                                                                = A_5 / D_phys yr
                                                                = 60 / 4 yr EXACT
                                                                (since A_5 = 60, D_phys = 4)
```
Novel 4th-instance dimensional-domain extension of PAPER_1971 A_5/D_phys = 15 EXACT three-domain family.

Prior PAPER_1971 documented instances (before M2):
- **PAPER_1887 seminal**: T_opt_burn(DT fusion optimal burn temperature) = 15 keV (fusion-plasma keV domain)
- **Round 108 stub upgrade**: R_star(NGC 3603 Wolf-Rayet stellar radius) = 15 R_sun (stellar-radius R_sun domain)
- **Round 104 stub upgrade**: pitch_angle(M81 spiral density-wave) = 15° (galactic-angle-degrees domain)

**M2 novelty**: T_obs(NANOGrav PTA) = 15 yr adds 4th orthogonal dimensional domain (timescale-year) to A_5/D_phys=15 family.

**A_5/D_phys=15 family — cross-domain population post-M2**:
| Domain | Observable | Value | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fusion plasma (keV) | T_opt_burn DT fusion | 15 keV | PAPER_1887 seminal |
| Stellar radius (R_sun) | NGC 3603 Wolf-Rayet R_star | 15 R_sun | PAPER_1971 R108 |
| Galactic angle (degrees) | M81 spiral pitch | 15° | PAPER_1971 R104 |
| **Timescale (years)** | **NANOGrav PTA T_obs** | **15 yr** | **PAPER_2054 M2 NEW** |

Family now 4-object 4-domain cross-scale coverage.

**Companion PAPER_1536 Path B**: N_CH + D_BSFG = 9 + 6 = 15 EXACT (hemoglobin g/dL) also numerically yields 15 via alternate additive integer composition. NANOGrav PTA T_obs = 15 yr accepts BOTH structural forms (A_5/D_phys ratio + N_CH+D_BSFG sum) as valid primitive-composition attributions — same "Path A / Path B" pattern applies at PTA T_obs domain.

**Discovery 3 (Meta-Framework Discipline Observation Formalization) — Expanded Audit-Quartet-Guided Cross-Family Lens Catches ~1 Missed First-Instance Novel per 3-4 Retrospective Rounds:**

The audit-quartet-guided retrospective sweep methodology combines:
- PAPER_2043 F_TRZ ladder audit (24 rungs, 11 domains)
- PAPER_2046 SO_5 ladder audit (57 rungs, 16 domains — richest primitive)
- PAPER_2047 composed-prefix classes audit (8 families formalized)
- PAPER_2052 LANDMARK (D_phys-1) family audit (118 papers, 19 domains)
- PAPER_1978 SO_5+1 successor family filter
- PAPER_1971 A_5/D_phys three-instance family filter
- PAPER_2053 17/20 3-object family filter

Applied retrospectively to CondensedPhysics.py class-inventory across R170-R185 arc (14 rounds), this expanded lens catches **2 first-instance novel primitive-locks** (M1 + M2). Retrospective yield rate: approximately **1 missed novel per 7 rounds** — validates audit-guided sweep methodology as productive companion to forward backbone-first discipline.

**Discipline validation**: Forward backbone-first rounds R170-R185 achieved substantial coverage but the deep expanded-lens post-audit-quartet reveals that some primitive-composition connections occupy corners of parameter space not obvious at forward round time. Retrospective sweep validates audit-quartet as effective forensic tool.

## R142-R185 Trajectory (44 consecutive backbone-first rounds + PAPER_2054 retro sweep)
