A Pre-Registered Neutrino-Sector Prediction from the Finite-QEC Substrate: Normal Ordering at the Oscillation Floor, No Dirac Phase, and an Invisible m_bb

Abstract

The full pre-registration behind the leptonic-CP addendum below: the framework's complete neutrino-sector bet, in the same style as its five earlier registered predictions, fixed by substrate constants plus one declared experimental scale (Δm²₃₁ = 2.515×10⁻³ eV²). Four claims. (i) No intrinsic leptonic Dirac CP violation — the PMNS lift is the real single-polar frame transport, so J_ℓ = 0 exactly and δ_CP ∈ {0, π}; a sector-selection theorem in the same engine that produces the quark J ≠ 0 shows why: CP transport rides colour intermediates, and the lepton register is colourless. (ii) Normal ordering at the oscillation floor — a Koide neutrino circulant gives m = (0.79, 8.72, 50.16) meV, Σm_ν = 59.7 meV, just 0.7 meV above the absolute normal-ordering minimum. (iii) CP lives in the Majorana sector — a Hermitian orientation pointer diagonal in the mass basis feeds leptogenesis and 0νββ, never long-baseline δ_CP. (iv) An invisible m_ββ = 1.76 or 3.07 meV (envelope < 4.2 meV), below the LEGEND-1000/nEXO discovery band, so the framework predicts a null at next-generation 0νββ (m_β = 9.06 meV). At registration the CP-conserving point sits 0.16σ from the NuFit 6.0 normal-ordering best fit (δ_CP = 177° ± 20), while the leading-order mixing angles carry openly declared 2.2–3.7σ strains that are not the registered surfaces. Five original kill surfaces were frozen; a later outcome addendum supersedes the joint dark-energy clause — the registered law w(a) = −1 + a/28 has since been killed internally, so that clause is now historical rather than an active rescue of the mass-sum prediction, and the lab-facing predictions (normal ordering, Dirac-CP null, m_β, 0νββ null) are unchanged. Grade: conditional, not locked — three named assumptions are carried explicitly.
