## Abstract

We apply Ramanujan summation techniques to accelerate convergence of the 26-layer buoyancy sum $S_N = \sum_{k=1}^{N} \exp(-[\text{SSq}] \cdot k/26)$. The accelerated form $S_N^{(R)} = S_N + \frac{1}{2}a_N + \sum_{p=1}^{P} \frac{B_{2p}}{(2p)!} \Delta^{2p-1} a_N$ uses Bernoulli numbers $B_{2p}$ and forward differences to improve partial-sum accuracy at low $N$.

---

## 1. Ramanujan Correction

$$S_N^{(R)} = S_N + \frac{1}{2}a_N + \sum_{p=1}^{P} \frac{B_{2p}}{(2p)!} \Delta^{2p-1} a_N$$

where $a_k = \exp(-[\text{SSq}] \cdot k/26)$ and $B_2 = 1/6$, $B_4 = -1/30$, $B_6 = 1/42$, $B_8 = -1/30$.

## 2. Convergence Comparison

| $N$ | $S_N$ | $S_N^{(R)}$ |
|-----|-------|-------------|
| 5 | partial | accelerated |
| 10 | partial | accelerated |
| 26 | exact $S_{26}$ | $\approx S_{26}$ |

### 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.
