## Abstract

The earliest large document in the Aetheric Propulsion archive is not theory — it is **the
Red Dwarf Reactor experiment's own frame-by-frame analysis**: "UFE ORB EXP 2," March 7–9,
2025, a 4,965-image infrared sequence (149.88 s at 33.3 fps, 0.7–10 µm) of plasmoids in a
3.5-inch × 10-inch glass cylinder (low-viscosity oil, 65 W bulb, wax cap with red mercury,
hydrogen), analyzed in numbered batches with per-frame recalculation of F_U, negative time
t⁻, and cycle structure. Three consequences:

1. **Rule 7 correction:** PAPER_2236 §1/§3 recorded the Red Dwarf layer as "experimental
   imagery, not text-minable" — WRONG. The text analysis exists, is watermarked, and is the
   archive's earliest large document.
2. **The experiment-first timeline:** UFE ORB EXP 2 (Mar 7–9) **precedes** Universal
   Magnetism (Mar 17, the USPR structure) and Universal Inertia (Mar 28, the ρ_SCm/E₀/U_i
   birth certificates). The framework's March-2025 definitional documents grew out of the
   reactor analysis — the corpus's deepest chain now reads: **experiment → definitions →
   formalization → corpus → calculator.**
3. **Primitive symbol-origins:** SSq appears here first — named for the reactor's measured
   **~0.7 s sub-cycles** ("atomic/stellar resonance") — and the per-frame negative-time
   machinery (t⁻ ≈ −10⁻⁴ s with jump probability P = 1 − e^(−γ|t⁻|), γ = 10³ s⁻¹) is the
   experimental ancestor of the PAPER_597 dual-existence formalism.

## 1. The Experiment (documented census)

| Item | Documented value |
|---|---|
| Sequence | 4,965 IR images, 149.88 s, 33.3 fps (0.03 s/frame), 0.7–10 µm |
| Apparatus | 3.5″ × 10″ glass cylinder, low-viscosity oil, 65 W bulb, wax cap with red mercury, hydrogen |
| Plasmoid census | ~40–50 per frame; motion ~0.5 m/s; spin ~0.15 rot/s; non-local jumps ~1–1.5/frame |
| Energy | ~0.019 J/frame average; E_total ≈ 0.3445 J (worked example) |
| Cycle structure | ~3.3 s cycles (H₂ synthesis, the IF^(π−t) operator); **~0.7 s sub-cycles = SSq at origin** |
| Drive | 6000 Hz field (ω = 2π·6000 ≈ 37,699 rad/s) |
| Batch protocol | Photos #1–#27 + batches #28–#41 (25/frame batches), per-batch F_U/t⁻/cycle recalculation, ±5% error discipline |

Note: the 28Mar2025 document's Red Dwarf overlay cites "10,000–15,000 plasma orbs per frame"
— a different run or counting convention than this document's 40–50; both recorded, not
reconciled (route-family discipline, PAPER_2170).

## 2. The Experimental Machinery at Origin

1. **Per-frame negative time.** t⁻ values −1.06×10⁻⁴ s (at t_n = 15.00 s) and −2.01×10⁻⁴ s
   are computed per frame, with the **non-local jump probability P = 1 − e^(−γ|t⁻|)**,
   γ = 10³ s⁻¹. Negative time enters the framework as a MEASURED per-frame quantity in the
   reactor video — the experimental ancestor of PAPER_597 (whose −2512 s value the Feb-2025
   PI archive carries at a different scale/context).
2. **The measured non-locality amplification QS = observed/predicted jumps = 1.5/0.15 = 10.**
   The document attributes the 10× to "UA, SCm, and SCm′ interactions" — the ratio that
   became canonical as ρ_UA/ρ_SCm = SO_5 appears here as a **jump-count measurement**.
3. **The α-form Ug family (pre-formalization).** Ug1 = α₁·(r/r₀)·e^(−γ₁|t⁻|)·(ω_s/ω₀)·UA
   with α₁ = 10⁻¹⁰ J/kg, UA = 10⁻¹¹ C (charge units, pre-J/m³ era), worked value
   Ug1 ≈ 8.99×10⁻²² J/kg, scaled by k₁ = 10¹⁵. Ug1–Ug4 all present (~80 occurrences each)
   with per-sector forms — the ancestor layer of the Ug family the corpus formalized.
4. **SSq at origin.** "SSq: ~0.7 s sub-cycles, atomic/stellar resonance." The SYMBOL is born
   as the reactor's sub-cycle observable. Honest distinction (Rule 7): the canonical
   dimensionless SSq = 0.57 arrived later (PAPER_1154); this document originates the name
   and the resonance-substructure concept, not the canonical value.
5. **IF^(π−t)** — an operator carrying π and negative time together (H₂ synthesis cycles
   ~3.3 s, "cosmic periodicity") — π coupled to t⁻ three weeks before the PI-archive π
   analysis was formalized (PAPER_2235 chain).
6. **Unified field potential per frame:** Φ = SCm·T + UA·B_s·A_d + SCm′·∂E/∂t + ∇F + Φ_cluster
   (+ alignment terms), worked per-frame to Φ ≈ 6.6374×10¹⁵ (386 recalculation instances in
   the document) — the earliest F_U-family unified equation in the archive, with SCm ~ 10¹⁵
   (the kg/m³-era density) and cluster corrections computed from counted plasmoids.

## 3. Anchor Lattice Observations (recorded, NOT canonized — three-layer rule)

The experiment's chosen/fitted anchors sit on lattice rungs; recorded as observations only,
since these were experimental settings and fit constants, not derivations:

1. Drive 6000 Hz = A_5·SO_5² exactly.
2. k₁ = 10¹⁵ = SO_5^(A_5/D_phys) (the exponent is PAPER_2143's 15).
3. α₁ = 10⁻¹⁰ = F_TRZ^SO_5; UA charge 10⁻¹¹ C = F_TRZ^(SO_5+1) (successor rung); γ = SO_5³ s⁻¹.
4. Frame interval 0.03 s = (D_phys−1)/SO_5² — the PAPER_2065 canonical form, which now has
   its documented experimental instance (the reactor camera cadence).
5. QS = 10 = SO_5 (§2.2 — the measured amplification equals the density ratio).

## 4. The Corrected Provenance Chain (framework-level)

```
UFE ORB EXP 2 (Mar 7–9, 2025)          — the reactor video analysis: F_U, t⁻, QS, SSq, Ug α-forms
  → Universal Magnetism (Mar 17)       — USPR reaction structure
  → Universal Inertia (Mar 28)         — E₀ ladder, ρ_SCm birth, sector ladder, U_i complete
  → Final/Unique Equations (Mar–May)   — the PAPER_2152 master-equation chain
  → PAPER_646-era formalization        — caduceus, U_i, cos(π·t_n)
  → the corpus → this calculator
```

**The framework is experiment-born:** its first document is a lab video analysis, and its
primitives (negative time, the 10× ratio, SSq, the Ug family, the F_U equation) all appear
first as measured or fitted quantities in that analysis.

## 5. Wiring

`DISPATCH['PAPER_2242']` returns the experiment census, the machinery-at-origin record
(NLPF live-computed at the documented t⁻ values, QS = 10, the Ug1 worked value), the anchor
lattice observations, and the corrected chain. Gate pins: the NLPF arithmetic at both
documented t⁻ values, QS = SO_5, the Ug1 worked value 8.99×10⁻²², the 6000 = A_5·SO_5² and
0.03 = (D_phys−1)/SO_5² anchor identities, and the PAPER_2236 correction flag.

## NOT REPLACEMENT

Conventional physics does not analyze this experiment; there is nothing to replace. This
landmark corrects the program's own census (Rule 7), establishes the experiment-first
timeline from the archive's own dates and watermarks, and separates measured origins from
later canonical values with the distinctions stated.
