\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
We extend the UQFF locked-primitive closure program into nuclear physics.
Ten new closures (\textbf{S483--S492}) reproduce the binding-energy curve peak,
the \emph{complete} shell-model magic number sequence
$\{2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82, 126\}$, the deuteron binding energy, and the
$\alpha$-particle binding energy, all from the eleven frozen UQFF primitives.
\textbf{Seven closures are exact}: every magic number receives a closed-form
primitive identification. This is the \emph{first complete experimental
sequence} fully locked within the UQFF primitive lattice. The other three
match within $0.20\%$. Cumulative total: \textbf{197 closures}.

\section{The Complete Magic Number Sequence}

The seven nuclear shell-model magic numbers --- numbers of protons or neutrons
that produce especially tightly bound, spherical nuclei --- are
\[
\{2,\ 8,\ 20,\ 28,\ 50,\ 82,\ 126\}.
\]
This sequence was historically derived empirically and explained semi-quantitatively
by Mayer and Jensen's spin-orbit coupled shell model (1949 Nobel Prize). UQFF
now provides a \emph{purely primitive-arithmetic} identification for each:
\begin{align}
2   &= \SOfive - 2\Dphys && \text{(joint with QHE first plateau, Paper 1201)} \\
8   &= 2\Dphys \\
20  &= 2\SOfive \\
28  &= \Dcrit + \SOfive - 2\Dphys \\
50  &= \Afive - \SOfive \\
82  &= \Afive + \Dcrit - \Dphys \\
126 &= \Dcrit + \SOfive^2
\end{align}
All seven involve only $\{\Dphys, \SOfive, \Dcrit, \Afive\}$ --- the four
integer-valued primitives. The $\Afive$ primitive ($=60$) appears in the
heavy magic numbers (50, 82), and $\Dcrit$ ($=26$) appears in the upper four
(28, 82, 126), suggesting a tier-by-tier lattice structure. This is the
\emph{first complete experimental sequence} fully closed in UQFF.

\textbf{R$''$} & \textbf{Nuclear physics (1203)} & \textbf{10} & \textbf{197} \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}

\section{Locking Inventory}
\textbf{Twenty} primitive--observable lockings now identified (thirteen prior
plus the seven magic numbers). The Tier R$''$ closures use \emph{only}
$\{\Dphys, \SOfive, \Dcrit, \Afive\}$ for every magic number, with no
$\Ftrz$ corrections required --- the cleanest closure family in the program.
