Falsifying Hund's Rule: The Nitrogen–Oxygen Ionization Anomaly as a Thermodynamic Landauer Penalty
Reinterprets the Nitrogen–Oxygen ionization dip as a Landauer Overwrite Penalty arising from forced data compression in a 3‑node p‑subshell manifold. Shows that Hund’s Rule is a descriptive patch masking a deeper thermodynamic mechanism. Key Claims (from document): “The Nitrogen–Oxygen dip is simply the atomic manifestation of the Landauer Principle of data compression.” “Oxygen’s ionization drop is physically caused by the strain of compressing a 4th data bit into a strictly 3‑node constraint boundary.” Verification: Executable engine reproduces the empirical ionization dip by subtracting a Landauer strain penalty at the point of capacity saturation.
