Description / Abstract This document defines the h³π Detection Protocol, a substrate-agnostic method for identifying and logging genuine regime crossings in which continuity is exhausted and discrete re-indexing of the state description becomes necessary. The protocol establishes three necessary conditions that must all be satisfied before an h³π event is logged: • Geometry and constrained transport are no longer sufficient to preserve coherence. • Continuity fails under rigorous stress testing. • A minimal, stabilizing re-indexing restores explanatory coherence. The work includes formal definitions, operational procedures (including continuity stress tests), a canonical ledger syntax, strict misreading blocks, and an empirical module interface template designed to keep all future attachments testable and translator-safe. The protocol is deliberately mechanism-neutral and serves as an operational layer within the broader Physmatics translator framework. This record contains the core protocol, detection criteria, ledger syntax, and module template. It is intended as a stable reference for consistent recognition and bookkeeping of structural transitions across domains. #h³π Detection Protocol — Worked Example Doppler Shadow of Ψ - Companion notebook to https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.20028011 h³π DETECTION PROTOCOL Purpose: Provide a substrate-agnostic method to detect and log a true regime change where continuity is exhausted and re-indexing becomes mandatory. A. Definitions (minimal) • Candidate regime crossing: a transition where no continuous adjustment of parameters preserves identity across the boundary. • Re-indexing: a change in the bookkeeping/state description required to restore coherence (e.g., new variables, new state labels, new constraints). • h³π log event: the ledger entry recorded when a candidate crossing passes the tests below. B. The Three Necessary Conditions (all must hold) C1 — Geometry no longer sufficient Constrained transport/negotiation (2√-style “minimal distortion traversal”) fails to preserve coherence across the boundary. C2 — Continuity fails under stress tests No continuous parameter path closes the gap without identity loss. C3 — Re-indexing is required and stabilizing A discrete re-indexing restores explanatory coherence and remains stable under validation. C. “Do Not Log h³π” Triggers • The “break” disappears with reasonable preprocessing. • A continuous model closes the gap under stress tests. • Re-indexing improves fit only by adding unconstrained degrees of freedom. • The boundary cannot be localized. D. Misreadings to block h³π is not: energy, quantum of action, literal angle, frequency, universal numeric toll, or a force term. h³π is only a marker that continuity is exhausted and re-indexing was required.
