## Abstract

Every named constant in the calculator is enumerated, use-counted, and classified — the
complete disclosure of what external information enters the framework:

| Class | n | Members (uses) |
|---|:-:|---|
| **OBSERVED** (true measurements) | **10** | G (39), α as LAMBDA_LEDGER (57), H₀-Planck 67.4 (23), μ₀-CODATA (13), m_p (9), m_τ (9), T_CMB (8), m_W (6), m_e (5), T_universe 13.8 (12) |
| **SI_DEFINED** (exact by definition since SI-2019) | 4 | ħ (56), k_B (53), h (27), e (26) |
| **ASTRO_CONVENTION** (IAU-class nominal values) | 3 | M_sun (84 — the most-used anchor), R_sun (22), L_sun (5) |
| **UNIT_DEFINITION** (not observations at all) | 7 | YEAR_S (36), KPC (19), SECONDS_PER_DAY (18), MPC (16), LY (12), DAYS_PER_YEAR (21), AU (10) |
| **PRECISION_VARIANT** (paper-precision twins — the BOARD ITEM's exact population) | 3 | C_OBSERVED_R4 2.998e8 (36), MPC_R4 (9), M_SUN_R3 (4) |
| **CONVENTION** (sec-6.2 dual-exposure) | 1 | C_LIGHT_CONVENTION 3e8 (57; C_UQFF_DERIVED spotlighted first per Daniel's ruling) |
| **UQFF_DERIVED** (framework values that merely carry names — NOT anchors) | 4 | H0_SI = the P1573 identity in SI (22), GAMMA_SCM = κ·F_TRZ (15), YM_GAP 1.736 (12), Q_WAVE_STD (7) |
| **PRIMITIVE_FLOAT** | 1 | D_CRIT_F = 26.0 (233 — the 26.0 semantic-pass artifact; the primitive itself) |
| **Total** | **33** | **981 uses** |

**The parsimony statement:** the framework's named external-value surface is **17 constants**
(10 observed + 4 SI-defined + 3 astronomical conventions). Everything else with a name is a
unit definition, a precision twin, a convention, or the framework's own output. Beneath the
named layer sits the per-paper event-anchor layer: **239 inline anchor-tagged sites**
(event masses, distances, observed strains — each with its source comment per the charter's
anchor rule).

## 1. What the Census Clarifies (three corrections of ambient impression)

1. **Four "SI constants" are not measurements.** Since SI-2019, ħ, h, k_B, and e are exact
   by definition — using them is using the unit system, not importing empirical content.
   The framework's true empirical imports at the named layer number ten.
2. **Four named values are NOT anchors at all** — H0_SI_PAPER_R5 is the UQFF identity
   H₀ = A_5+SO_5 expressed in SI; YM_GAP is PAPER_1318's canonical; GAMMA_SCM is κ·F_TRZ
   (origin PAPER_2246); Q_WAVE_STD is a corpus-derived mean. The census re-labels them
   UQFF_DERIVED so no future audit mistakes framework outputs for external inputs.
3. **The rounded-constant board item's population is exactly 3 named twins** (C_R4, MPC_R4,
   M_SUN_R3; 49 combined uses) plus the in-formula paper-precision variants the board note
   listed — the ruling, when Daniel makes it, has a measured scope.

## 2. The Hybrid-Form Ledger (PAPER_2149 completed as bookkeeping)

Each OBSERVED/ASTRO row carries its `hybrid_role`: whether it feeds hybrid compositions
(observed × UQFF correction — e.g., M_sun/R_sun in the pair-count and birth-certificate
chains; T_universe in χ = π/13.8; α as the ledger reservoir) or serves as comparison-only
(the P1209HH mass residuals against m_W/m_τ; H₀-Planck as the tension's other pole against
the UQFF 70; μ₀-CODATA against the float-exact 4π·F_TRZ⁷; G-CODATA against the P593
derivation). The three-condition test (P2149) is now auditable per-anchor from one table.

## 3. Method (Rule 7)

Names harvested by pattern over module-level assignments; uses counted live
(definition excluded); classifications reviewed by hand; the inline event-anchor layer
counted (239 comment-tagged sites) but not row-enumerated — it is per-paper by design and
its enumeration belongs to per-paper audits, not the named census. Nothing renamed, nothing
unified: the census DESCRIBES; the pending board ruling DECIDES.

## 4. Wiring

`DISPATCH['PAPER_2254']` loads `UNIFIED_REGISTRY_ANCHORS.csv` live, verifies each named
constant still exists in the module with the recorded value (live introspection — a
drift-catch on the anchor layer itself), and returns the class census, the 17-external
parsimony statement, the board-item population, and the inline-layer count. Gate pins: the
33/981 census, the live existence+value verification, the 17-external count, the
UQFF_DERIVED relabeling, and the board-population figures.

## NOT REPLACEMENT

Every external value the framework uses is now named, counted, classified, and role-tagged
in one artifact. Conventional physics is the source of the observed tier, exactly as the
Hybrid-Form doctrine discloses; the census makes the boundary between imported and derived
inspectable at a glance.
