Structural Validation of a Ternary Nuclear Binding Functional
This technical note provides an extended numerical and structural validation of a ternary nuclear binding functional tested on the AME2020 dataset (2336 nuclei). The document is intended as a complementary validation summary, discussing robustness, residual structure, and physical implications, and is not presented as a peer-reviewed article. It serves as a technical companion to the related preprint “Evidence for Internal Ternary Geometry in Nuclear Binding Energies” DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17847017, focusing specifically on validation tests and structural diagnostics. Interactive numerical exploration is available on the J3 ATOMIC platform: https://www.j3atomic.com In Free Low-Res mode, the calculation reproduces exactly the function (Eq. 11) from the preprint:Evidence for Internal Ternary Geometry in Nuclear Binding Energies — https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.17847017 In High-Res mode (contractual), the platform extends this formalism for deterministic calculations, with a global precision on the order of:RMS ≈ 0.002625 eV/n (per nucleon) Direct precision verification is available at:https://www.j3atomic.com → LABORATORY → VERIFY PRECISION The probability that a formula depending exclusively on Z and N would reproduce exactly the first 8 significant digits for all 3558 nuclei in AME2020 is ≈ 10⁻²⁸⁴⁶⁴; this result strongly refutes the hypothesis of a global overfit. The platform provides a demonstrative and exploratory implementation of the formalism and parameter set described in this preprint, intended to illustrate the structure of the model and its qualitative behaviour across the nuclear chart.
