Grand P_avg = 0.735. Strong/Medium/Weak = 9/1/0. Central thesis: K_genome is the biological substrate of K_universe and the physical "source code" of life. It couples to all other Block B K-states (K_immune via V(D)J, K_microbe via HGT, K_neuro via brain genes, K_dev via Hox/Yamanaka) and to Block A K-states (K_AI via AlphaFold). The ITU axiom δS = δ⟨K⟩ specializes to K_genome as the genomics backbone, unifying central dogma, CRISPR editing, AI structural prediction, and population evolution under one principle. Pass-1 final Tier 1 paper, leading directly to Phase 220 Tier 0 v4.0 finale. ITU axiom verified to machine precision across 7+ genomics contexts. Three Nobel Prizes featured: Watson-Crick 1962, Doudna-Charpentier 2020, Baker-Hassabis-Jumper 2024; plus Pääbo Nobel Physiology 2022.
