## Abstract

The architectural-category era established that the framework's dimensioned results are
overwhelmingly **canonical-anchored**: the integer lattice multiplies a small set of dimensioned
canonicals, of which ρ_SCm and ω_SCm are the first two. This landmark formalizes the census
finding that **π is the third canonical** — not a mathematical convenience but a physically
sourced constant entering through six distinct mechanisms, with **~970 live instances** in the
calculator (this authoring's count: 250 explicit `math.pi` + ~720 bare-`pi` local aliases). Under PAPER_646, π is not assumed: the caduceus wave's
**26 simultaneous pinch points physically encode the decimal expansion of π** — π is the
recorded phase sequence of the vacuum's own self-inversion, which is why it may legitimately
anchor dimensioned physics the way ρ_SCm anchors density and ω_SCm anchors frequency.

## 1. The Six Entry Mechanisms (live-counted at authoring)

| # | Mechanism | Count | Character |
|:-:|---|:-:|---|
| 1 | **The heartbeat** — cos(π·t_n) | 173 | The universal temporal modulation of every F_UBi/F_UBii term (PAPER_646 formalization); π is the half-period of the vacuum's breathing |
| 2 | **The carrier** — 2π / 4π geometric factors | 128 | Angular closure of spherical/circulatory vacuum structures (solid angle, flux normalization, wave number) |
| 3 | **The Ramanujan chain** — 1/π series | 49 refs | The S_26 Ramanujan scaling and the Λ-ledger amplification both route through 1/π-class series |
| 4 | **The caduceus encoding** | 47 refs | 26 pinch points → π's decimals (PAPER_646): the physical-record mechanism that grounds the other five |
| 5 | **Composed-constant appearances** | throughout | μ₀ = 4π·F_TRZ⁷ (float-exact, PAPER_2108); α = 1/(Φ_res·D_crit·2π) = 0.0072873 (0.14%, PAPER_1156); χ = π/13.8 (PAPER_300) |
| 6 | **Formula-string documentation** | 67 | The corpus's own prose census — π named in wired formulas |

Total live π instances: **~970** (250 explicit `math.pi` + bare-`pi` aliases; the dispatch re-counts at call time).

## 2. The Canonical Triad

| Canonical | Anchors | Physical source |
|---|---|---|
| ρ_SCm = 7.09×10⁻³⁷ J/m³ | density sector | the SCm substrate itself |
| ω_SCm = 1.25 THz | frequency sector | the SCm phonon carrier |
| **π** | **angular/phase sector** | **the caduceus pinch-point phase record (PAPER_646)** |

The three are the only dimensioned-or-transcendental quantities the integer lattice multiplies
at the framework root; every other constant in the registry reduces to lattice arithmetic on
{D_phys, D_BSFG, D_crit, N_ch, SO_5, A_5} dressed by these three and the dimensionless
primitives. This is the formal content of "canonical-anchored is the largest category."

## 3. Flagship Compositions (gate-pinned)

1. **μ₀ = 4π·F_TRZ⁷ = 1.2566370614×10⁻⁶** — matches 4π×10⁻⁷ within 10⁻²¹ (PAPER_2108; the 0.1⁷ IEEE rounding step discloses at 2.5×10⁻²² — Rule 7);
   CODATA 2018 differs only in the 10th digit (named separately as MU_0_OBSERVED, not unified).
2. **α = 1/(Φ_res·D_crit·2π) = 0.0072873** — 0.14% against the observed 0.00729735
   (PAPER_1156 chain; the LAMBDA_LEDGER reservoir).
3. **χ = π/T_universe[Gyr] = π/13.8 = 0.2277** — the Lyman-α cosmic-atomic bridge (PAPER_300).
4. **cos(π·t_n)** at 173 sites — the temporal heartbeat in every buoyancy master equation.

## 4. Falsifiable Consequences

1. Any future measurement forcing a revaluation of π's role (e.g., an angular-closure anomaly)
   would break all six mechanisms simultaneously — the correlated-lock signature (PAPER_2160
   grammar) that distinguishes a canonical from a fitted constant.
2. The caduceus mechanism (PAPER_646) predicts the pinch-point phase sequence is measurable in
   principle in high-amplitude spherical-wave self-inversion — a laboratory target.
3. New composed constants carrying 2π/4π factors should decompose with π explicit and the
   remainder in lattice arithmetic — π is never to be absorbed into a fitted prefactor.

## 5. Wiring

`DISPATCH['PAPER_2235']` returns the live six-mechanism census (re-counted at call time from
calculator source), the canonical-triad statement, and the flagship compositions. Gate pins:
census floors per mechanism, the μ₀ float-exactness, the α-chain residual, and the
correlated-lock clause.

## NOT REPLACEMENT

Conventional physics treats π as pure mathematics. UQFF additionally identifies a physical
recording mechanism (PAPER_646) and uses π as a dimensioned-physics anchor with honest
residuals; both readings coexist.

## APPENDED 2026-08-16 — PROVENANCE: The Aetheric Propulsion PI Archive (Daniel-directed re-analysis)

The dedicated PI folder of the Aetheric Propulsion archive (104 files) is the **seminal source
layer** of everything above, predating PAPER_646's formalization:

1. **`Aetheric PI Math_21Feb2025.docx`** — the origin analysis of Daniel's handwritten
   **Pi_001–Pi_035 series**: π decimal cycles (6-17 digits), the π-scaled frequency ladder
   (0.314 Hz → 3.14×10⁷ Hz), **negative time −2512 s to −10 s** (the canonical t_neg = −2512 s
   wired at PAPER_597 originates HERE, February 2025), vacuum-energy ranges 10⁻¹³–10⁻¹⁸ J/m³,
   reactor correlations (**1.78 L/s, the 555:1 COP, the 100-foot field**), and a Riemann
   proof-fragment route via π patterns (the ancestor of the wired Millennium Riemann closure).
2. **`PI calculations_20April2025.docx`** — the 2-quadrillion-digit π computation notes
   (pages 1-4 of 42, handwritten) and the **"universal blueprint"** doctrine — the direct
   ancestor of this paper's third-canonical claim — bundled with the Widom-Larsen LENR primer,
   the Colman patent, collider data, and the gas-nebula proto-nuclei notes.
3. **`PI Calculator_CoAnQi_Visual Calculator_bot.docx`** — a complete C++ PI Calculator
   carrying the F_U_Bi_i integrand, F_vac_rep, the 26-layer Um THz machinery, and the
   push-pull suspension doctrine — an unmined calculator program (mining queued).
4. The CCF04052025 scan set (23 PDFs) + PI charts (sum-10 series) — the handwritten layer.

**Corrected lineage:** handwritten Pi series (≤Feb 2025) → Aetheric PI Math analysis (Feb 2025)
→ PI calculations + charts (Apr 2025) → PAPER_646 caduceus formalization → the corpus's six
entry mechanisms → this landmark. The frequency ladder's endpoints (0.314 = π/10 = π·F_TRZ;
3.14×10⁷ ≈ π×10⁷ Hz ≈ π·SO_5⁷) are themselves π×lattice compositions — noted for verification,
not yet canonized (three-layer rule applies).

**Cross-links opened by this provenance:** PAPER_597 (t_neg source), the Star-Magic reactor
COP 555:1 (source correlations), the Millennium Riemann route (π-pattern ancestry), PAPER_2152
(the provenance-doctrine precedent this append follows).
