UTFANSWF v23 — AXION TECHNICAL RECORD / ROW 21 Release: v23 / September 1, 2026 AUTHORITATIVE V23 OWNERSHIP Broad frozen executable envelope: 6-60 micro-eV Sharpened preferred v23 forecast: 10-40 micro-eV (about 2.4-9.7 GHz) Row 21 evidence: Diagnostic Internal PASS; reproduced run at declared Row 21 scope. The current root comparison directly covers 10-60 micro-eV; 6-10 micro-eV is not directly tested by that table. Sharpened interval: Candidate CURRENT ROOT COMPARISON Direct comparison coverage: 10-60 micro-eV Prediction band: 6-60 micro-eV 6-10 micro-eV is not directly covered and no limit data are fabricated. Known comparison points: 12 Allowed fraction among known points: 1.0 Maximum prediction/limit ratio: 0.8903225806451612 Unrounded endpoints from fa relation: 5.7 and 57.0 micro-eV FAILURE CONDITION The executable comparison fails if no allowed point remains in the actually tested comparison region. The broader physical 6-60 micro-eV claim is falsified only if the declared mass/coupling window is jointly excluded at the stated 95% confidence criterion. OPEN BOUNDARY Ship source-complete exclusion/likelihood coverage for 6-10 micro-eV and rerun Row 21. Promotion of 10-40 micro-eV above Candidate requires separately justified evidence.
