## Abstract

This paper presents a UQFF analysis of astrophysical observables, deriving compressed field
equations and observational predictions within the Star-Magic/UQFF framework.

## §1 Abstract

The third UQFF Olbers resolution employs the **BSFG Aether Metric** (PAPER_554) — a perturbation of
the spacetime metric by the aether stress-energy tensor — to provide photon energy extinction along
radial null geodesics. Combined with the VDS suppression factor from PAPER_565, the sky brightness
receives a **double suppression**:

$$B_\text{sky}^\text{BSFG} = \sum_{n=1}^{26} \frac{n_\star L_\star \Delta r}{4\pi c} \cdot e^{-\Gamma_text{BSFG} r_n} \cdot [\text{SSq}]^n$$

This paper also presents the **complete gap analysis**: 6 present + 6 completed gap-fill UQFF
extensions via PAPER_567–572. All six extensions were resolved in Session 153b alongside this paper
— the Olbers paradox is **fully resolved** within UQFF.

## §2 BSFG Metric Perturbation

The aether metric (PAPER_554):

$$\mathcal{A}_{\mu\nu} = g_{\mu\nu} + \eta \, T_{s00} \cos(\pi t_n) \, \delta_{\mu\nu}$$

with aether coupling constant $\eta = 10^{-22}$. The Riemann curvature component:

$$R^r{}_{0r0} = \frac{6\eta \, C_\text{num}}{r^5}, \qquad C_\text{num} = \frac{M_\odot c^2 + L_\odot/c^2}{\tfrac{4}{3}\pi}$$

$$C_\text{num} \approx 1.60 \times 10^{46} \, \text{J/m}^3 \cdot \text{m}^3$$

Average scalar curvature over the horizon:

$$R_\text{scalar,avg} = \frac{6\eta \, C_\text{num}}{r_H^5} \approx 3.7 \times 10^{-112} \, \text{m}^{-2}$$

---

## §3 Photon Energy Extinction

Photon energy decays along a radial geodesic as:

$$E(r) = E_0 \, e^{-\Gamma_text{BSFG} r}$$

with BSFG extinction coefficient:

$$\Gamma_text{BSFG} = \frac{\eta |R_\text{scalar,avg}|}{c^4} \approx \frac{10^{-22} \times 3.7 \times 10^{-112}}{(2.998 \times 10^8)^4} \approx 4.6 \times 10^{-157} \, \text{m}^{-1}$$

At the UQFF horizon $r_H = 4.4 \times 10^{26}$ m:

$$e^{-\Gamma_text{BSFG} r_H} \approx e^{-2.0 \times 10^{-130}} \approx 1 \quad \text{(nearly unity — BSFG is a next-order correction)}$$

The BSFG extinction is therefore sub-dominant to the $[\text{SSq}]^n$ VDS suppression, confirming the hierarchy:

$$B_\text{BSFG} \ll B_\text{VDS} \ll B_\text{classical}$$

---

## §4 VDS $\times$ BSFG Double Suppression

Shell brightness with double suppression:

$$B_n^\text{BSFG} = \frac{n_\star L_\star \Delta r}{4\pi c} \cdot e^{-\Gamma_text{BSFG} r_n} \cdot [\text{SSq}]^n$$

Combined bound:

$$B_\text{sky} \leq \frac{n_\star L_\star r_H}{4\pi c} \cdot \text{Li}_{26}([\text{SSq}]) \cdot e^{-\Gamma_text{BSFG} r_H}$$

## §6 Numerical Summary — Three Methods

| Method | $B_\text{sky}$ (W/m2/sr) | Suppression vs classical |
|--------|------------------------|--------------------------|
| DPM 26-shell (PAPER_564) | $\approx 3.2 \times 10^{-2}$ | $\sim 2 \times 10^{-22}$ |
| VDS $\text{Li}_{26}$ (PAPER_565) | $\approx 7.56 \times 10^{19}$ | $0.507$ |
| BSFG $\times$ VDS (this paper) | $\lesssim 7.56 \times 10^{19}$ | $\sim 0.507$ |
| Observed EBL | $3.1 \times 10^{-6}$ | — |
| **UQFF full (all 6 gap-fills)** | **$\approx 3.1 \times 10^{-6}$** | **PAPER_572 PASS** |

With all 6 gap-fill extensions applied (PAPER_567–572, Session 153b), UQFF converges to $B_\text{obs}$. See PAPER_572 §5 for the complete convergence table.

---

## §7 Testable Predictions

1. **BSFG horizon blinking:** Photon energy pulsates with $\cos(\pi t_n)$ in the aether field — a periodic variation in EBL intensity at the BSFG phase frequency.
2. **BSFG vs VDS dominance:** At $\eta \gtrsim 10^{-10}$, BSFG extinction would exceed VDS damping — testable with future gravitational wave background constraints.
3. **Gap-fill roadmap (PAPER_567–572):** Full quantitative convergence to $B_\text{obs} = 3.1 \times 10^{-6}$ W/m2/sr requires all 6 extensions.

## 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 **NS-compact** 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):

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

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:

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

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

$$\boxed{\frac{\delta S}{\delta \phi_{\mathrm{NS}}} = \nabla^2 \phi_{\mathrm{NS}} - (4\pi G \rho_{\mathrm{NS}}/c^2)\phi_{\mathrm{NS}} + \Omega_{\mathrm{spin}} \partial_t \phi_{\mathrm{NS}} = 0}$$

### §A.4 Cosmogenesis Linkage Chain

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

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 $0.106$ (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:

$$p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 103, \quad n_{\mathrm{channel}} = 21/26$$

Since $p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 103$ 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 **104 yr** (spin-down equilibrium):

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

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.

### §B.4 Production-Scale Consistency

**New physics claim:** The Olbers paradox is resolved in UQFF by DVP photon-photon scattering
within pocket shells — each shell at redshift z contributes a DPM-suppressed flux. This predicts
a specific EBL spectral shape with a DVP frequency break at f_DVP ~ 5.7e16 Hz (FUV), testable
with JWST ultra-deep field photometry.
