Abstract

This work reports a reproducible log-cosine line-density scan over public NIST Atomic Spectra Database exports. The canonical Fe II analysis tests bin stability, active-domain winding, Poisson-bootstrap nulls, neighboring ions, implementation parity, and baseline sensitivity; NIST is the data provider only.

Plain-language overview

Research question

Does a reproducible log-cosine line-density scan reveal bin-stable log-periodic structure in public NIST atomic line data?

Main contribution

  • Reports a reproducible log-cosine line-density scan over public NIST Atomic Spectra Database exports.
  • Tests bin stability, active-domain winding, Poisson-bootstrap nulls, neighboring ions, and implementation parity for the Fe II analysis.

Evidence type

Public-data analysis

Current limitations

NIST is the public data provider only; no NIST endorsement, certification, or validation is claimed, and the analysis reports a reproducible method with null controls rather than a confirmed effect.

Explicit falsifiers

  • The feature fails preregistered neighboring-ion, binning, baseline, bootstrap, implementation-parity, or held-out tests.

Open obligations

  • Freeze a release with source exports, hashes, exact commands, expected outputs, and unaffiliated reproduction.
Current qualification: NIST is the public data provider only; no NIST endorsement, certification, or validation is claimed.
