Abstract

This preprint presents a population-level infrared test using matched-null stratified refinement to evaluate persistent excess at 500 Ī¼m relative to covariate-controlled baselines.The analysis applies the deep-time structural constraints framework, specifically the thermodynamic convergence argument, to a far-infrared anchoring band using GAMA DR4 data.The work tests for stable high-dissipation subpopulations under progressive conditioning and reports the resulting persistence behavior.
