The Alpha Variant — how close the mass gets, published the only honest way

The question this paper answers is the natural one after P56, P70 and the 30-split alpha run: so how close does the mass get if the alpha terms are allowed in? The answer is published the only honest way the register permits — as a labelled variant, exactly as Paper 54 published the squeeze variant, with the fitted count in the same sentence as every figure and a standing ban on quoting it as the headline. The label, before any number: everything below is a SIX-FITTED-VALUE result (volume, surface, peak-mix, squeeze, alpha count, alpha closure; the Coulomb coefficient stays derived). RULES D8 stands — the deposit's headline remains the four-knob set — and nothing here is entered. This record holds one paper on its own and is refreshed every couple of months. The complete deposit, 10.5281/zenodo.21788037, holds every paper with its code and data and is updated first; for the newest version of this paper, go there.
