Empirical Basis of the Constraint Network Dynamics Framework: Systematic Verification from Full Nuclide Stable Data

Energy Ontology, proceeding from the axiom that "energy possesses magnitude and direction, and magnitude determines speed," reduces all physical phenomena to undertaking and disintegration within constraint networks. Its complete theoretical framework—axioms, definitions, master equation, series equations, four models, constant derivations, and predictions—has been established in a comprehensive treatise [1]. This paper does not use the master equation to pre-derive any numerical values. Rather, it demonstrates how the five independent empirical verifications completed in the preceding papers constitute the very same empirical basis of the constraint network dynamics framework. The five verifications are: the independent derivation of the electron rest energy 0.511 MeV from the atomic mass difference between deuterium and hydrogen-1; the independent derivation of the proton mass 938.272 MeV/c² from energy conservation; the precise decomposition and closure of the neutron-proton mass difference 1.293 MeV; the precise equality of the effective mass of neutrons bound in nuclei to the free neutron rest mass for all stable nuclides with Z ≥ 2; and the cliff collapse of heavy nuclide stability and forced fission mode switching at N/Z ≈ 1.55. Each of the five verifications is independent, uses mutually non-reliant input data, and does not use any parameters of the master equation in its derivation—yet all of their results converge upon the constraint network dynamics image described by the master equation. This paper includes a complete reproducibility checklist; all verifications use publicly available nuclear data.
