\begin{abstract}
We derive the Pons-Fleischmann (Pd--D, 1989) excess heat signature from first principles
using the SCm Vacuum Manifold framework. The low-radiation, low-neutron character of
Pd--D excess heat is explained by $F_{U,Bi,i}$ buoyancy stabilisation combined with
1.25~THz phonon resonance and negative-time modulation $\cos(\pi t_n)$.

\section{Pons--Fleischmann Excess Heat (SCm Derivation)}

In Pd--D systems the lattice loading factor $x$ (D/Pd ratio) and cell volume $V$
set the active cluster density~\cite{fleischmann1989,mckubre1992}. The number of
active Pd sites per second contributing to phonon-mediated energy release is:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:npersec}
N_{\text{per\,sec}} = x\cdot V\cdot\rho_{\text{Pd}}\cdot f_{\text{active}}\,/\,3600
\end{equation}
where $\rho_{\text{Pd}}=6.8\times10^{28}$~atoms/m$^3$ and $f_{\text{active}}=0.01$.
The SCm buoyancy factor $f_b=\Phi_{\text{res}}=0.84$ suppresses high-energy particle
emission while allowing phonon-mediated energy release at the canonical
$\varepsilon_{\text{cluster}}=630$~eV per activated
site~\cite{holmlid2013,holmlid2015}:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:ppf}
P_{\text{PF}} = N_{\text{per\,sec}}\cdot\varepsilon_{\text{cluster}}\cdot f_b
\end{equation}
With $x=0.9$, $V=10^{-6}$~m$^3$, $f_{\text{active}}=0.01$, $f_b=0.84$:
\begin{equation}\label{eq:ppf_result}
\boxed{P_{\text{PF}} \approx 1\text{--}50\ \text{W}}
\end{equation}
This matches the Pons--Fleischmann experimental
observation~\cite{fleischmann1989,mckubre1992}.

\section{Why Low Neutrons and Tritium?}

Standard theory predicts MeV-scale neutron and tritium production from D--D fusion.
Pons--Fleischmann observed neither at the expected
level~\cite{fleischmann1989,mckubre1992}. SCm explains this via:
\begin{itemize}
  \item $F_{U,Bi,i}$ buoyancy stabilises PdD$_x$ clusters, preventing explosive
        collapse that would generate hard radiation.
  \item Negative-time modulation $\cos(\pi t_n)$ allows coherent energy release
        \emph{without} crossing the high-energy Coulomb barrier.
  \item 26D phonon amplification routes energy into the SCm vacuum manifold
        rather than into particle production channels~\cite{hagelstein2004}.
\end{itemize}

\section{Buoyancy Stabilisation Equation}
\begin{equation}\label{eq:fubi}
F_{U,Bi,i} = \beta_i\int_0^\infty\left(-F_0+\frac{GM}{r^2}
             +\rho_{\text{SCm}}\,U_{UA}\cos(\pi t_n)\right)dr
\end{equation}
The buoyancy force acts outside-to-inside, opposing gravitational collapse and
maintaining a stable phonon emission regime consistent with the observed 1--50~W range.

\section{Conclusion}

The SCm Vacuum Manifold provides a first-principles mechanism for Pons--Fleischmann
excess heat that naturally explains both the observed power range (1--50~W) and the
anomalously low neutron/tritium signature --- a result that has resisted Standard
Model explanation since 1989~\cite{fleischmann1989,widom2006,storms2010}.
