SYNTHESIS: CROSS-REPORT CONSTRAINT SET¶
This section does not restate the preface or the audit rules. Its role is narrower: to extract the minimum constraint set implied by the mini-reports (Part II) that any candidate mechanism must satisfy simultaneously.
-
Comminution burden and phase-state outcome
Across the reports describing dust production, mid-air loss of macroscopic structure, and the fine-mode particle record, the dominant outcome is not "fracture into chunks," but rapid conversion into a high-order particulate phase (dust/aerosol) at scale (Rapid Macroscopic Aerosolization, RMA, where invoked).
Constraint: any adequate model must account for (i) the implied surface-area work and (ii) the observed absence (or reduction) of intermediate fragment populations where claimed.
-
Selective coupling by electrical properties
Multiple records emphasize differential effects by material class: strong alteration of conductors and/or high-loss materials occurring alongside comparative survival of nearby low-loss dielectrics (paper/textiles/plastics) in the same local scenes (Selective Impedance Heating, SIH, in this dossier's standardized vocabulary where invoked).
Constraint: the driver must include a coupling rule based on conductivity/permittivity/impedance, not solely on proximity to heat, flame, or mechanical loading.
-
Non-diffusive thermal signatures
Several reports frame "hot/cool" mismatches: apparent high-energy material changes without the expected diffusive heat footprint, and visible "fire-like" phenomena without the expected phase-change collateral signatures (e.g., steam behavior, ignition of adjacent cellulose) where those would normally be mandatory.
Constraint: the model must explain how energetic material transitions can occur without producing a conventional, spatially smooth thermal history.
-
Geometric localization and boundary sharpness
The dossier includes repeated claims of sharply bounded damage geometries: clean planar discontinuities, cylindrical voids, node-like footprints, and abrupt transitions over short distances (geometric flux / node-footprint style localization where invoked).
Constraint: the mechanism must naturally generate hard spatial boundaries (or demonstrate why such boundaries emerge) rather than relying on stochastic impact patterns or broad isotropic blast behavior.
-
Momentum partition and limited ground-coupled impulse
Reports centered on foundation survivals, subgrade preservation, and low seismic coupling assert that a large portion of the system's momentum did not resolve as an expected ground-impulse signature.
Constraint: any model must provide an explicit momentum/impulse partition that is consistent with the described survivals and with the reported seismic bounds.
-
Field-like kinematic effects in non-structural targets
Where the dossier describes anomalous motion of vehicles, dust plumes, and biological trajectories, the consistent theme is body-force behavior (lift/repulsion/lofting) that is not easily reduced to wind, blast overpressure, or tumbling impact (Dielectrophoresis, DEP, where invoked).
Constraint: if those kinematics are upheld, the model must include an in-situ mechanism capable of applying a distributed force vector to target masses without the usual collateral aerodynamic signatures.
-
Time-domain staging and precursor phenomena
Several reports assert precursor or pre-kinetic phenomena (early particulate emission, EMI-like disruptions, prolonged vibration/rumble intervals) that temporally precede major structural transitions.
Constraint: the mechanism must include a time-dependent activation profile (arming/saturation/discharge) rather than a single-step progressive failure narrative.
Model obligations implied by the constraint set¶
Obligations for Model A (kinetic/thermal)¶
Model A remains viable only if it can satisfy all constraints above while also producing its expected collateral signatures (thermal history consistency, rubble inventory consistency, mixing/settling behavior consistent with gravity currents, and impact/impulse signatures consistent with scale), without requiring ad hoc exceptions that create new missing collateral effects.
Obligations for SCIE / interferometric mechanisms¶
SCIE is only worth carrying forward if it can satisfy the same constraint set with specific, checkable signatures. In this dossier’s standardized language, that means:
- Rapid Macroscopic Aerosolization (RMA) where claimed (not generic fragmentation),
- IMD (Interferometric Molecular Dissociation)-consistent selectivity (material-linked coupling rather than proximity heating),
- ECR (electron-cyclotron resonance)-consistent conductor phenotypes where steel-specific rapid alteration is asserted, and CLC/SIH-consistent phenotypes where conductive loops/vehicles are the primary affected targets,
- Coulomb Explosion phenotypes where dielectric saturation is asserted,
- Dielectrophoresis (DEP) force vectors only where the kinematics truly require a body-force explanation.
This synthesis therefore functions as the interface between Part II (claims) and Part III/IV (reconstruction and theory): it defines the constraint targets the reconstruction must hit, and it defines the collateral signatures that can falsify it.
