**Status:** CLOSED — 0.025% residual

## Observation

PAPER_1209II_S663 (Nuclear Unified Proof Set) gives the closed-form expression:

```
Fe-56 BE/A = F·K⁵ − β⁴ + 5 ≈ 8.792 MeV
```

Residual to AME2020: **0.025%**.

## UQFF Closed Identity

```
Fe-56 BE/A = F·K⁵ − β⁴ + 5 ≈ 8.792 MeV    0.025%
```

The expression uses only locked UQFF integer/real primitives — no fitted constants.

## NOT REPLACEMENT

Experimental nuclear measures this constant directly. UQFF supplies a structural derivation from the integer primitives.
