The Sparse Law of Deep-Space Communication: A Unified Theory of Feasibility, Efficiency, and Distortion for Cislunar and Interplanetary DTN

Abstract

Establishes the three-factor sparse law DR = S_T × η_lyap × Φ for delay-tolerant network delivery ratio. Exact factorization validated across 154,000+ configurations spanning Mercury through Titan and four CRAWDAD mobility traces.
