The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

diffusion anisotropy, rather than growth kinetics, primarily governs the maximal attainable structure size. Quantitative thin film interference analysis demonstrates the presence of discrete thickness layers in the film.

C2weakest assumption

That the newly introduced NaCl equivalent height metric provides an unbiased, condition-independent classifier of crystalline morphology without hidden dependence on substrate interactions or imaging resolution.

C3one line summary

NaCl droplet evaporation on germanium produces 1D photonic crystal nanostructures whose maximum size is set by diffusion anisotropy, enabled by a new equivalent-height metric and time-series height analysis.
