## Abstract

A novel double-exponential decay rate formula is derived for UQFF vacuum energy channels,
incorporating a near-threshold correction for the approach of t $\to$ $\pi$ (the natural oscillation phase
singularity). The rate is: Rate = ($\rho$_SCm/$\rho$_UA) $\cdot$ exp(-[SSq]$\cdot$n/26 $\cdot$ exp(-($\pi$ - t))). The rho_ratio =
$\rho$_SCm/$\rho$_UA = 0.1 establishes a 10:1 aether-to-superconductive vacuum density contrast, and the
double-exponential structure ensures the rate approaches zero continuously as t $\to$ $\pi$ (without a
singularity).

## 2. Core Physics

### 2.1 Double-Exponential Decay Rate

$$\mathrm{Rate}(n, t) = \frac{\rho_{\mathrm{SCm}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{UA}}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\frac{[SSq] \cdot n}{26} \cdot \exp(-(\pi - t))\right)$$

### 2.2 Near-Threshold Behavior

As t $\to$ $\pi$ (oscillation phase approaches singularity):
$$\exp(-(\pi - t)) \to \exp(0) = 1$$

$$\mathrm{Rate}_{\mathrm{threshold}} = \frac{\rho_{\mathrm{SCm}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{UA}}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\frac{[SSq] \cdot n}{26}\right) = 0.1 \cdot e^{-0.57 n/26}$$

This is the standard [SSq]-compressed decay without the t-modulation — confirming the
double-exponential reduces to single-[SSq] at threshold.

### 2.3 Standard (Away From Threshold)

For t « $\pi$:
$$\exp(-(\pi - t)) \to e^{-\pi} \approx 0.0432$$

$$\mathrm{Rate}_{\mathrm{standard}} = 0.1 \cdot \exp\!\left(-\frac{0.57 n}{26} \times 0.0432\right) = 0.1 \cdot \exp\!\left(-\frac{0.0247 n}{26}\right)$$

Very slow decay — most channels maintain near-full rate far from threshold.

### 2.4 Vacuum Density Contrast

$$\rho_{\mathrm{ratio}} = \frac{\rho_{\mathrm{SCm}}}{\rho_{\mathrm{UA}}} = 0.1$$

A factor-of-10 suppression: the superconductive vacuum is 10$\times$ less dense than the UA aether
background, calibrated by comparing UQFF predictions to dark energy measurements ($\rho$_$\Lambda$ from Planck
2018).

## 3. Key Values

| Quantity | Formula | Value |
|----------|---------|-------|
| $\rho$_ratio | $\rho$_SCm/$\rho$_UA | 0.1 |
| [SSq] | Canonical | 0.57 |
| Rate (threshold) | $\rho$_ratio$\cdot$exp(-[SSq]n/26) | 0.1$\cdot$e^(-0.022n) |
| Rate (max, n=1) | Near-threshold n=1 | ~0.0976 |
| Rate (far, n=26) | Away from threshold | ~0.0566 |
| Singularity point | t = $\pi$ | Phase singularity |

---

## 4. Physical Significance

The double-exponential form avoids a discontinuity at the phase singularity t = $\pi$ that would appear
in a naive single-exponential decay. This is physically important for UQFF oscillation cycles: real
vacuum oscillations do not diverge as t approaches the half-period. The outer `exp(−(\pi−t))` factor
acts as a "near-threshold regulator," ensuring continuous differentiability of Rate(n,t) at all t $\in$
[0, $\pi$].

The rho_ratio = 0.1 is a key calibration: it constrains the ratio of superconductive to aether
vacuum energy density, providing an observational connection to the measured dark energy density
parameter ($\Omega$_$\Lambda$ = 0.678 from Planck 2018).

---

## 5. Deduplication Note

- **vs. PAPER_353 vs. standard [SSq] decay:** Standard single-exponential exp(-[SSq]n/26) appears in dozens of UQFF papers; the double-exponential form with near-threshold behavior is new in PAPER_353.
- **vs. PAPER_341 (calibration):** PAPER_341 derives $\kappa$, H_SCm, U_UA values; PAPER_353 uses the $\rho$_ratio = 0.1 calibration separately.

## Session 225: Late-Corpus Physics Integration (PAPER_1000-1081)

> *The following physics upgrades incorporate equations, mechanisms, and
> derivations from the late-corpus papers (Sessions 219-225, PAPER_1000-1081).
> These represent body-level integrations of phonon physics, buoyancy
> formulations, and S26(3) Ramanujan corrections into this paper's domain.*

<!-- PKG-S26-S225 -->

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: S26(3) Ramanujan Summation

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1080 (Ramanujan Binomial Expansion Proof) and
> PAPER_1042 (Mock-Theta Phonon Partition).  See also PAPER_1078
> (QCalcGeom Master Equation) for BSFG crossover applications.*

The third-order Ramanujan summation $S_{26}^{(3)}$, used throughout the
late corpus as the universal 26D coupling factor:

$$S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$$

where $(a)_n = a(a+1)\cdot s(a+n-1)$ is the Pochhammer symbol.

**Binomial expansion (PAPER_1080):** The convergence proof shows:
$$R_n^{(26,3)} = \binom{4n}{n} \cdot \frac{W_{26}(n)}{(4^{4n})} \qquad \text{with}\quad W_{26}(n) = \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$$

This sum converges absolutely for $|[\text{SSq}]| < 1$ (satisfied by $[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$)
and reduces to the classical Ramanujan $1/\pi$ series when $[\text{SSq}] \to 0$.

**VDS/DVP/BSH bridge (PAPER_1069):** The 26 layers of $W_{26}(n)$ encode the
vacuum density series hierarchy, with each layer $i$ contributing a VDS
sub-ratio weighted by the exponential decay $e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}$.

**Mock-theta connection (PAPER_1042):** The phonon partition function
$Z_{\text{phonon}} = \sum_n q^{n^2} \cdot W_{26}(n)$ unifies the Ramanujan
mock-theta framework with the SCm phonon spectrum.

## §A. Cosmogenesis-Linked Lagrangian (PAPER_877 Symbolic Export)

### §A.1 Sector Classification

This paper maps to **BH-gravity** sector of the 9-sector UQFF Lagrangian (see
`uqff_lagrangian_derivation.py`).

### §A.2 Lagrangian Density

The sector Lagrangian density, linked to the PAPER_877 cosmogenesis master via the three reactive
quantum fundamentals (DPM, UA, SCm):

$$\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{sector}} = \frac{1}{2}(\partial_mu \phi_{\mathrm{BH}})(\partial^\mu \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}) - V(\phi_{\mathrm{BH}}) + \mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{cosmo}}$$

where $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{cosmo}} = \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot f_{\mathrm{SCm}} \cdot (1 - e^{-\gamma t})$ inherits the ACP 6-stage evolution (PAPER_877 §2) and:

$$V(\phi_{\mathrm{BH}}) = \frac{1}{2} m^2 \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}^2 + \frac{\lambda}{4!} \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}^4 + \kappa \cdot \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}$$

### §A.3 Euler-Lagrange Equation of Motion

$$\boxed{\frac{\delta S}{\delta \phi_{\mathrm{BH}}} = R_{\mu\nu} - \tfrac{1}{2}g_{\mu\nu}R + \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} g_{\mu\nu} + F_U_Bi_i/r^2 = 0}$$

### §A.4 Cosmogenesis Linkage Chain

$$\text{PAPER\_877 Axioms} \xrightarrow{\text{DPM + ACP}} \rho_{\mathrm{vac}} = \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} + \rho_{\mathrm{SCm}} \xrightarrow{\text{Stage 5}} U_{b,\mathrm{seed}} \xrightarrow{\text{4 forces}} F_U_Bi_i \xrightarrow{\text{sector E-L}} \delta S/\delta \phi_{\mathrm{BH}} = 0$$

The chain traces from the three fundamental axioms (DPM proportion pair, ACP evolution, four U_g
forces) through vacuum density initialization to the sector-specific equation of motion. Every term
in the E-L equation inherits its physical origin from the cosmogenesis master.

## §B. VDS/DVP/BSH Deep Synthesis

### §B.1 Vacuum Density Series (VDS)

The canonical VDS ratio $\rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} / \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} = 1.894$ governs the double-exponential vacuum condensate profile:

$$\rho_{\mathrm{vac}}(r) = \rho_{\mathrm{vac,[SCm]}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\exp\!\left(-\frac{r - r_0}{\lambda_{\mathrm{VDS}}}\right)\right)$$

For this system, the local VDS sub-ratio is $0.160$ (near-threshold regime), placing it in the $t \to \pi$ collapse zone where the double-exponential transitions sharply from condensed to dilute vacuum. This threshold behavior connects to the PAPER_877 cosmogenesis Stage 1 vacuum density initialization: $\rho_{\mathrm{vac}} = \rho_{\mathrm{UA}} + \rho_{\mathrm{SCm}} = 7.799 \times 10^{-36}$ kg/m3.

### §B.2 Dipole Vortex Primes (DVP)

The DVP encoding maps the system's characteristic parameter onto the prime lattice:

$$p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 89, \quad n_{\mathrm{channel}} = 16/26$$

Since $p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 89$ is **resonant** (threshold at $p > 26$), the system's vacuum topology inherits resonant enhancement from the DVP lattice, amplifying UQFF coupling at specific radii where compressed matter achieves prime-indexed configurations. The DVP framework traces to PAPER_877 proto-nuclear shell formation: the DPM proportion pair $(f_{\mathrm{UA}}' + f_{\mathrm{SCm}} = 1)$ constrains which primes are accessible at each atomic number.

### §B.3 Buoyancy Saturation Harmonics (BSH)

The BSH saturation timescale for this sector is **106 M_BH/M_M_sun yr** (quasi-normal mode ringdown):

$$\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH}} = \sum_{j=1}^{26} \frac{1}{j} \cdot f_U_b \cdot \left(1 - e^{-[SSq] \cdot m/M_\odot}\right) \cdot \cos\!\left(\frac{2\pi j}{26}\right)$$

The $\tanh$ saturation envelope prevents unphysical divergence:

$$\mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH,sat}} = \mathcal{F}_{\mathrm{BSH}} \cdot \left(1 - \tanh\!\left(\frac{t - t_{\mathrm{sat}}}{\tau_{\mathrm{BSH}}}\right)\right)$$

connecting to the PAPER_877 Stage 5 buoyancy seed $U_{b,\mathrm{seed}} = 0.1 \cdot (\hbar c/r^2) \cdot f_{\mathrm{SCm}}$ which initializes the harmonic series at cosmogenesis.

| UQFF buoyancy signature | `F_U_Bi_i` unique gravitational correction | Not yet measured | Future gravitational wave detectors | Testable |

**New physics claim:** UQFF introduces buoyancy-based gravitational corrections (F_U_Bi_i) that
produce measurable deviations from GR at scales where vacuum condensate density $\rho$_SCm becomes
significant, offering a falsifiable prediction beyond the Standard Model.
