What This Paper Does Not Claim

It does not claim a value for the Hubble constant. §9 states the number the chain would give if misread as a rate, and refuses it; KS-45.1 owns H₀.

It does not derive the settling law, the era shapes, or the relation between the settled beat and today’s rate. Those are AP48’s, booked as D-STRETCH.1, with KS-STRETCH.4 registered now.

It adds no oscillation observable. It adds no energy-budget term of any size — AP45’s dimension rulings govern. It sets no magnitude for the leak at any laboratory site.

It does not touch α’s value. It does not repair or reweigh anything fired.

It does not claim the observed equation of state is −1. The stance is about the leak’s own settled rate; the observed w is AP42’s sourced reservoir and the sky’s unfinished settling, and this paper says so in §8.

And it does not claim the age to 0.31%. It claims one cycle, coarsely, and shows the landing.
