Discovery of Confuton (C−): Identified Error Particle for Periodic Table Perfection

Science invents, Nature owns. The Periodic Table counts 118 elements, butnever counted the error. This paper identifies Confuton (C− = ∆−i ) in Nature, notinvented in Science. Confuton is the universal unwanted variation with negativecharge, present in every number like probability (0 to 1). Defined as Bohr’s ZeroOrbit (n = 0 = C−), it exhibits dual nature and destabilizes Kstable.Confuton is needed because no measurement, no number, and no element isever 100% stable. Without counting error, Kstable remains unexplained. Confutonmakes error countable and provides the missing link between ideal elements andreal systems. Its usefulness lies in restoring stability via K+ through ZDM (ZulfiaDecomposition Mapping, 2026) Tunneling: C−ZDMK+ → Kstable. This frameworkapplies universally to every system.
