AUTO DZ ACT: A State-Based Verification Framework Applied to 3I/ATLAS

This record presents a formal methodological case study applying the AUTO DZ ACT verification framework to the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS. The work introduces a state-based validation structure that converts observational claims into explicitly defined verification states without invoking physical interpretation. The study enforces a strict separation between (i) existence of a proposed phenomenon, (ii) measurability within available instrumentation, and (iii) discriminative power between competing hypotheses. Physical interpretation is intentionally deferred until measurement states are resolved, in accordance with reproducibility and data-integrity principles. Included are a peer-ready methodological PDF, an algorithmic walkthrough document, chronological master tables (CSV and LaTeX), and publication-grade figures describing uncertainty evolution, geometry timelines, and AUTO DZ ACT state transitions. All materials are released to enable independent verification, reuse, and future state updates as new authoritative data become available.
