Do atomic spectra share a musical correction factor?

01 / THE QUESTION

Editorial guide

Does one shared multiplier move atomic spectral lines, transposed down 40 octaves, closer to equal-tempered notes across the NIST Strong Lines catalogue?

02 / WHAT THE RECORD SAYS

Source passage

The fitted factor improved the training sample slightly but did not improve the held-out elements.

03 / LIMITS & OPEN POINTS

Source passage

This is a negative result for this particular mapping and objective, not a denial of genuine quantum structure in atomic spectra or a test of every possible harmonic model.

04 / THE NEXT QUESTION

Source passage

A useful expansion would freeze an observed-only sample from the larger NIST ASD, including higher charge states and explicit transition labels, before examining its note offsets.

05 / CHECKS IN THE RECORD

Source passage

Python 3.10+ and NumPy are required. This bundle is offline: no downloads or credentials are needed. From its directory: The analysis refuses an existing output directory. The audit reads the shipped release_corrected/ and prints its verification; it preserves the saved audit record rather than overwriting it. LINES.json contains all source entries and their exclusions, not only successful matches. PER_ELEMENT.json contains all 118 coverage rows. The precision printed by software is arithmetic precision, not claimed physical precision of every input.
