Row

row 10

|V cb | 1/(9√7) theory 0.0419961 experiment 0.0407 ± 0.0013 deviation +3.18% · d = +1.00 Loaded-correspondence (physical attachment: inherits the octant registration; the integer 9 data-selected) / Structural formula — A1566 —

The formula is distinct from the failed universal orbit-average proposal. Its physical attachment and the selected integer are preserved in the literal tier.

Theory value

row 10

The suite’s retained expression is

|V_{cb}|=\frac{1}{9\sqrt7}=\mathbf{0.0419961}.

Derivation chain

row 10

  1. Take the DET-7 quantity as the imposed structural invariant; evaluating it at the working vacuum does not derive its upstream necessity. (appendix_x_zero_parameter_input_ledger.tex:64).
  2. Apply the retained adjacent-magnitude expression. The current row names the independently unforced integer and inherited octant registration. (appendix_x_zero_parameter_input_ledger.tex:73; p3_ckm_pmns_mixing.tex:403-404).
  3. NOT IN SUITE — a selector for the integer or a common Peirce-block weighting law that frees the loaded quark rows. The conditional formula is evaluated without supplying that missing physical rule. (appendix_x_zero_parameter_input_ledger.tex:73).

row 10

LIB2-018 — Carries the imposed status of the invariant appearing under the square root.

LIB2-066 — Carries the retained magnitude formula and its loaded physical attachment.

Comparator LIB2-216 / SL-13 — value 0.0407 (+0.0013/−0.0013) · scheme PDG global fit · edition 2026.

LIB2-073 describes a failed universal averaging proposal, not this formula. Historical candidate proposals do not replace the retained expression.

Calculation

Run python3 N10_calc.py. The complete self-contained script is below. All source cells are echoed unchanged. Computed displays use decimal half-up rounding; intermediate formula values are not display-rounded. A naive asymmetric distance uses the error toward the theory unless an explicit exception or alternate audit is printed.

Comparison

row 10

Theory 0.0419961; comparator 0.0407 ±0.0013, PDG 2026 global-fit value, dimensionless (LIB2-216 / SL-13). Signed deviation +3.18%; naive d +1.00. The supplied row assigns no separate running scale. Numerical proximity does not establish the unforced integer or the physical registration.

Tier and what this does not show

Literal tier: Loaded-correspondence (physical attachment: inherits the octant registration; the integer 9 data-selected) / Structural formula — A1566. Status: —. Both stated choices are consumed. Agreement does not derive either choice.
