HEADLINE: COHERENCE = CONDUCTIVITY
================================================================================

  Phase coherence between lattice cells follows the EXACT resistivity
  ranking the cipher predicted:

    1-eigenvalue lattice (Diamond):  coherence = 0.794  (insulator — locked)
    5-eigenvalue lattice (FCC-type): coherence = 0.624  (best conductor)
    3-eigenvalue lattice (BCC-type): coherence = 0.479  (moderate conductor)
    4-eigenvalue lattice (A7-type):  coherence = 0.442  (semimetal)
    7-eigenvalue lattice (HCP-type): coherence = 0.397  (highest resistivity)

  Resistivity measured as PHYSICS (phase alignment between resonance
  chambers), not as a label. No calibration. No external data. The
  lattice itself tells you the conductivity through how well its
  cells synchronize.


Q-FACTOR ≠ COHERENCE (TWO DIFFERENT PROPERTIES)
================================================================================

  Q-factor = how well each INDIVIDUAL cell resonates (peak sharpness)
  Coherence = how well NEIGHBORING cells resonate TOGETHER (phase alignment)

  7-eigenvalue lattice (HCP-type): HIGHEST Q (70.0), LOWEST coherence (0.397)
    → each cell is a beautiful individual instrument, but the ensemble
      is uncoordinated. Direction-dependent properties.

  1-eigenvalue lattice (Diamond-type): LOWEST Q (48.7), HIGHEST coherence (0.794)
    → each cell is broadly resonant, but ALL cells in perfect lockstep.
      Isotropic, rigid, uniform.

  This is the texture the cipher has been reading as one property
  (ductility/conductivity) but is actually TWO independent measures.


WITHIN-ARCHETYPE DIFFERENTIATION CONFIRMED
================================================================================

  FCC spectral density CV = 0.510 (highest variation — most different from each other)
  BCC spectral density CV = 0.307
  HCP spectral density CV = 0.140 (most uniform — most similar to each other)

  FCC elements: Cu, Au, Ni, Pb, Al all have FCC lattice, all have DIFFERENT
  lattice music. The fingerprint RESOLVES what the archetype hides.


CORRECTED ELEMENTS — TRANSITIONAL CHARACTER
================================================================================

  Tc/Ru (Period 5): coherence = 0.377/0.379
  Re/Os (Period 6): coherence = 0.412/0.412
  Hg/Cn (d10 screening): coherence = 0.452/0.472

  Period 6 corrected have higher coherence than Period 5 corrected.
  The deeper cascade provides more phase alignment. The correction
  is not just a label change — it produces measurably different
  lattice music at different periods.


OUTPUT-AGNOSTIC. DATA SHOWS WHAT IT SHOWS.
