ATCM under scrutiny - Objections, constraints and counter-predictions

This paper evaluates the ATCM image‑formation mechanism through a structured scrutiny of objections, physical constraints, and counter‑predictions. Five core challenges—superficiality, resolution, chaotic microscale behaviour, chemical pathways, and field‑strength requirements—are examined using fibril‑scale physics, triboelectric rupture dynamics, and radical‑driven chemistry. The analysis shows that ATCM satisfies all constraints while generating testable predictions for future laboratory work.
