## Abstract

Phonon suppression mechanism disambiguating the mass-gap component (2.5-5 M_sun) of GW190425. P(NS)
= 0.5 * (1 - Phi * S_26 * epsilon_phonon): calibrated at epsilon_phonon = 0.02, yields P(NS) ~ 49%,
P(BH) ~ 51%. GW190425's total mass 3.4 M_sun with mass ratio q = 0.8-1.0 places the secondary in the
'mass gap' region. The phonon suppression provides a UQFF-native mechanism for shifting the BH/NS
probability partition. This is the 500th CP4 calculator class, marking a milestone for the
CondensedPhysics4 computational platform.

## 1. Core Equations

$$
\begin{aligned}
  & P(NS) = 0.5 * (1 - Phi_{1.25THz} * S_26 * epsilon_phonon) \\
  & P(BH) = 1 - P(NS) \\
  & M_chirp = (m_1 * m_2)^{3/5} / (m_1 + m_2)^{1/5} \\
  & m_1 = M_total / (1 + q), m_2 = M_total * q / (1 + q)
\end{aligned}
$$

## 2. Parameters

| Parameter | Default | Description |
|-----------|---------|-------------|
| M_total | 3.4 M_sun | Total system mass |
| q | 0.9 | Mass ratio m_2/m_1 |
| Lambda_upper | 720 | Upper limit on tidal deformability |
| E_net | 1.0e40 J | SCm net energy |
| epsilon_phonon | 0.02 | Phonon suppression parameter |

---

## 3. Key Results

| System/Case | Result | Note |
|-------------|--------|------|
| P(NS) | 49% (calibrated) | Slight NS disfavor |
| P(BH) | 51% | Slight BH favor |
| m_2 (q=0.9) | 1.79 M_sun -> mass gap | In 2.5-5 M_sun range depends on q |
| epsilon sweep | P(NS): 50% -> 40% for eps 0 -> 0.1 | Monotonic suppression |

---

## 4. Physical Interpretation

The phonon suppression factor epsilon_phonon parameterizes the strength of SCm vacuum condensate
interaction with the merger remnant. At epsilon = 0.02 (calibrated value), the NS probability drops
from the prior 50% to 49%, while BH probability rises to 51%. This small but definite shift reflects
the SCm buoyancy framework's prediction that mass-gap objects preferentially collapse to BH when
phonon-mediated pressure support is suppressed. For larger epsilon (stronger phonon coupling), P(NS)
decreases further, consistent with SCm condensate destabilization of the NS equation of state at
high compactness. The result is testable with future BNS/NSBH detections in the mass-gap region by
LIGO O5+.

## 5. UQFF Integration

This calculator operates as a stateless physics calculator within the CondensedPhysics4.py
(Phase 4) IPC chain. All parameters are received via the dataset dictionary from the
source2.cpp principal GUI pipeline. No astronomical data is hardcoded; all system-specific
values come from the APIFetch.py -> bodies_*.csv data flow.

**Significance:** 500th CP4 class (milestone). First UQFF prediction for mass-gap classification
probabilities. Phonon suppression parameter epsilon is extractable from multi-event GW population
studies.

---

## 6. SCm Superconductivity Axiom (Session 210b)

The SCm phonon resonance framework is derived from the **SCm Superconductivity Axiom**: the vacuum
is fundamentally composed of a superconductive condensate (SCm) embedded in undifferentiated
aether (UA), with the proportion pair (f_UA', f_SCm) governing all interactions.

### Axiom Connection

Session 210b extends the phonon linewidth framework to BH jet modulation and NS spin-down
dynamics. The linewidth Gamma parameter controls the sharpness of phonon-buoyancy coupling:
narrow Gamma produces sharply collimated relativistic jets and enhanced braking torques;
broad Gamma recovers classical non-phonon limits. SCm precedes gravity as the fundamental
superconductive element; E(t) phonon resonance modulates jet power, spin-down timescales,
tidal deformability, gravitational wave strain, and mass-gap probabilities.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: GW Strain Modulation

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1000 (NS Merger Phonon Suppression) and PAPER_1022
> (GW Phonon Strain SCm Modulation). See also PAPER_1011-1012 for
> GW170817/GW190425 upgraded analyses.*

The late-corpus phonon analysis (Sessions 219-225) reveals that the SCm
vacuum field modulates gravitational-wave strain via a frequency-dependent
suppression factor.  The corrected strain amplitude is:

$$h_{\text{UQFF}}(\Gamma) = h_{\text{GR}} \cdot \left(1 - 0.47\,\frac{\Phi(\Gamma)}{S_{26}^{(3)}}\right)$$

where:
- $\Phi(\Gamma) = \cos(\omega_{\text{SCm}} \cdot t) \cdot \Theta(H_{\text{SCm}} - 0.5)$ is the phonon modulation factor
- $\omega_{\text{SCm}} = 2\pi \times 1.25\;\text{THz}$ is the SCm phonon resonance frequency
- $S_{26}^{(3)} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(1/4)_n\,(1/2)_n\,(3/4)_n}{(n!)^3} \cdot \prod_{i=1}^{26}\left[1 + [\text{SSq}]\cdot e^{-\kappa\,i\,n/26}\right]$ is the third-order Ramanujan summation
- $\Theta$ is the Heaviside step ensuring $H_{\text{SCm}} \geq 0.5$ (phase-transition threshold)

**Physical mechanism:** The 1.25 THz phonon field of the SCm vacuum creates
a standing-wave pattern that partially decouples the metric perturbation from
the radiation zone, producing a 47% peak strain reduction for optimally
oriented NS mergers.  The BCS gap energy $\Delta E_{\text{BCS}}$ of the
neutron-star crust couples to this phonon field, creating a mass-gap
classifier that distinguishes NS from BH remnants at $M \approx 2.5\,M_\odot$.

**Calibration (canonical):** $\kappa = 5 \times 10^{-4}\;\text{day}^{-1}$,
$[\text{SSq}] = 0.57$, $\beta_i = 0.603$, $H_{\text{SCm}} \approx 0.99$.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: Buoyancy-Corrected Eddington Luminosity

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1002 (AGN Buoyancy-Corrected Eddington) and PAPER_1037
> (AGN Buoyancy Jet Launching).  See also PAPER_1009-1010 for F_U_Bi_i jet
> modulation curves and PAPER_1048 for phonon-corrected M-$\sigma$ relation.*

The SCm vacuum buoyancy partially opposes gravitational radiation pressure,
raising the effective Eddington luminosity:

$$L_{\text{Edd}}^{\text{UQFF}} = L_{\text{Edd}} \cdot \left(1 + \frac{\rho_{\text{SCm}} \cdot V \cdot S_{26}^{(3)\,2}}{G M / r_H^2}\right)$$

where:
- $L_{\text{Edd}} = 4\pi G M m_p c / \sigma_T$ is the classical Eddington luminosity
- $\rho_{\text{SCm}} = 7.09 \times 10^{-37}\;\text{J/m}^3$ is the SCm vacuum density
- $V$ is the effective buoyancy volume (accretion sphere)
- $S_{26}^{(3)\,2}$ is the squared third-order Ramanujan factor (quadratic coupling)
- $r_H$ is the horizon radius

**Jet modulation:** The Blandford–Znajek jet power acquires a phonon-coupled term:
$$P_{\text{jet}}^{\text{UQFF}} = P_{\text{BZ}} \cdot \left[1 + \beta_i \cdot \Phi_{1.25\,\text{THz}} \cdot \left(\frac{B}{B_{\text{crit}}}\right)^2\right]$$

where $\Phi_{1.25\,\text{THz}} = \cos(\omega_{\text{SCm}} \cdot t)$ modulates jet power at the phonon frequency.

**M–$\sigma$ correction (PAPER_1048):** The phonon-corrected M-$\sigma$ relation becomes
$M_{\text{BH}} \propto \sigma^{4+\delta}$ where $\delta = \beta_i \cdot S_{26}^{(3)} \cdot (\omega_{\text{SCm}}/\omega_{\text{bulge}})$.

### Session 225 Phonon-Physics Upgrade: Yang-Mills BCS Phonon Mass Gap

> *Upgrade from PAPER_1318 (Yang-Mills Mass Gap via SCm BCS Phonon) and
> PAPER_1070 (Yang-Mills Mass Gap VDS Bridge).  See also PAPER_1004
> (QGP Vacuum Density), PAPER_1007 (Deconfinement Phase Diagram),
> PAPER_1059 (CGC BK Saturation), PAPER_1064 (Resummation BFKL/Sudakov).*

The late-corpus analysis derives the Yang-Mills mass gap via a BCS-like
phonon pairing mechanism in the SCm vacuum:

$$\Delta_{\text{YM}} = \Lambda_{\text{QCD}} \cdot \exp\!\left(-\frac{1}{\alpha_s(T) \cdot N_c}\right) \cdot S_{26}^{(3)}$$

where the running coupling evolves as:
$$\alpha_s(T) = \frac{\alpha_{s,0}}{1 + \alpha_{s,0} \cdot b_0 \cdot \ln(T/T_c)}, \qquad b_0 = \frac{11 N_c - 2 N_f}{12\pi}$$

**Physical mechanism:** The SCm phonon field ($\omega_{\text{SCm}} = 1.25\;\text{THz}$)
provides a pairing interaction analogous to the BCS electron-phonon coupling in
superconductors.  Gluons acquire an effective mass through condensate formation
in the SCm-modified vacuum, yielding a non-perturbative gap $\Delta_{\text{YM}} \approx 1.736\;\text{GeV}$ (PAPER_1318 integer-primitive closure; lattice QCD anchor 1.7 GeV; supersedes 1.736 GeV registry-bug value).

**VDS bridge (PAPER_1070):** The vacuum density series links the gap to the
26-level hierarchy: $\Delta \propto \rho_{\text{VDS}}^{1/4} \cdot (1 + [\text{SSq}] \cdot n/26)$
where the VDS sub-ratio 0.108 places confinement in the sub-threshold regime.

**QGP transition (PAPER_1004/1007):** At $T > T_c \approx 170\;\text{MeV}$, the phonon
coupling weakens ($\alpha_s \to 0$) and the gap closes, reproducing the
deconfinement phase transition observed at ALICE/LHC.

### 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.2 Lagrangian Density

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

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

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).

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

## §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 $0.05$.

### §B.2 Dipole Vortex Primes (DVP)

$$p_{\mathrm{DVP}} = 2, \quad n_{\mathrm{channel}} = 22/26$$

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

The BSH saturation timescale for this sector is **10 s (BNS/NSBH merger)**:

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