session 2026-05-11: SageMath 3rd CAS leg, harmonic dim=15, noise plateau, S4 polish, registry curation

- sage/: third-leg CAS reproduction of [3, 6, 17, 116] for 1/r and 1/r^2 and
  [3, 6, 13, 15, 15] for the harmonic L=4 closure. Engine works in
  PolynomialRing(QQ) directly (no FractionField) and takes rank via
  Matrix(GF(2^31-1), sparse=True).rank() for speed. Mirrors the
  Mathematica oracle field-for-field; JSONs at sage/results/.
- harmonic_lie_algebra_id.py + docs/harmonic_dim15.md: identify the 3-body
  harmonic Poisson algebra as the Jacobi algebra sp(4, R) (semidirect) h_2
  (Killing signature (6+, 4-, 5z); 5-d radical with non-abelian
  [rad, rad] = 1). Closes conjectures.md section 3 open question and
  gap_workplan section 2.6.
- noise_plateau_mapping.py + docs/noise_plateau_findings.md: closes
  gap_workplan section 4.6. L=2 plateau width drops from 13.0 decades
  at equal mass to 6.0 decades at m_3/m_1 = 10^10 - mechanistically
  explains the Sun-Earth-Moon / Sun-Jupiter-Asteroid float64 rank
  deficits as plateau-collapse, not algebraic closure.
- s4_tier_analysis.py: add argparse (--output, --quiet); JSON output
  unchanged. docs/s4_tier_predictions.md sharpens the Tier-1 prediction
  (n_std = 2,893 is too large vs 1,260 independent at L3; analogy with
  S_3 must break) and points at the next concrete experiment.
- scripts/registry_curate.py + registry/experiments.yaml: 109 patches.
  needs_review count 107 -> 41 (analysis 52 -> 0, atlas 13 -> 0).
- bench_flint/validation_summary.md: Phase G.1 SageMath table populated
  with real numbers; G.2 keeps the streaming mod-p L=4 consumer.
- OEIS/candidates/A395423.md: add %o (SageMath) program block.
- README.md: third-leg SageMath confirmation in the headline section.

-%N A395423 Dimensions of the Poisson-bracket Lie algebra generated by the pairwise interaction Hamiltonians of a 3-body system with a singular pairwise potential.
-%C A395423 a(n) = dim L_n where L_0 = span{H_{12}, H_{13}, H_{23}}, L_{n+1} = L_n + {L_n, L_n} (vector-space sum), and {.,.} is the canonical Poisson bracket on the symplectic 6N-dimensional phase space (positions x_i, conjugate momenta p_i).
-%C A395423 The sequence is invariant under the choice of singular pairwise potential V(r). Verified for V(r) = 1/r (Newtonian gravity), 1/r^2 (Calogero-Moser), 1/r^3, log(r), Yukawa exp(-mu*r)/r, and several composite potentials of the form sum_k c_k/r^{p_k}.
+%N A395423 a(n) is the dimension of the n-th nested-bracket span of the three pairwise interaction energies of a planar three-body system, computed under the Poisson bracket of classical mechanics.
+%C A395423 Setting: classical mechanics of three point particles in a plane interacting through a pairwise potential V(r) that depends only on the distance r between particles. Each unordered pair (i,j) contributes an interaction energy H_{ij} = V(r_{ij}). The Poisson bracket {f, g} is the standard antisymmetric bilinear operation on functions of positions and momenta defined by {f, g} = sum_i (df/dx_i * dg/dp_i - df/dp_i * dg/dx_i). See the references in the %H section for background on Poisson brackets, Lie algebras, and the n-body problem.
+%C A395423 Construction: let L_0 = span{H_{12}, H_{13}, H_{23}}. Define L_{n+1} = L_n + {L_n, L_n} (vector-space sum, where {L_n, L_n} denotes the span of all pairwise Poisson brackets of elements of L_n). Then a(n) = dim L_n.
+%C A395423 The sequence is invariant under the choice of singular pairwise potential V(r). Verified for V(r) = 1/r (Newtonian gravity), 1/r^2 (Calogero-Moser model), 1/r^3, log(r), Yukawa exp(-mu*r)/r, and several composite potentials of the form sum_k c_k/r^{p_k}.
 %C A395423 The sequence is also invariant under (a) the spatial dimension d in {1, 2, 3}, (b) the choice of three unequal positive masses, and (c) the addition of a quadratic harmonic term in the potential (which by itself produces the closed sequence 3, 6, 13, 15, 15; see AYYYYYY).
 %C A395423 a(0) = 3 is the number of unordered pairs in N=3 bodies, A000217(2). a(1) = 6 = N(3N-5)/2 with N=3, matching A095794(2). a(2) = 17 has no obvious closed-form interpretation. a(3) = 116 was computed exactly by symbolic SVD over a phase-space grid with rank gap > 1e10 (Python) and confirmed by exact rational rank in Mathematica using a SparseArray over Rationals. CPU time: ~40 seconds in Mathematica 14.3.
 %C A395423 a(4) is currently being computed; the conjectured lower bound from numerical experiments is a(4) >= 5604.

 ### 4.6 Noise Plateau Mapping
-- **Status:** NOT STARTED
+- **Status:** ✅ COMPLETE (2026-05-11) — see `noise_plateau_mapping.py` and `docs/noise_plateau_findings.md`. Outcome (a) at moderate conditioning, narrowing predictably to (b) at extreme conditioning. L=2 plateau width 13.0 decades at equal mass, dropping to 6.0 decades at m₃/m₁=10¹⁰ — mechanistically explains the Sun-Earth-Moon / Sun-Jupiter-Asteroid float64 rank deficit as a plateau collapse past the detection floor. L=3 equal-mass generic plateau ~5.5 decades.
 - **Motivation:** The SVD-gap rank determination depends on a threshold choice (`1e-8 × σ_max` currently). Understanding how the reported rank varies as a function of this threshold — across mass configurations, spatial positions, and potential types — is valuable both for validating the robustness of the 116 result and for characterizing the conditioning structure of the algebra.
 - **Approach:** At each configuration, sweep the SVD threshold from 10⁻¹ down to 10⁻¹⁵ and plot the reported dimension. Three possible outcomes: (a) a clean plateau at 116 (strong robustness), (b) continuous variation (threshold artifact), (c) irregular steps (hierarchical scale structure). Run at equal mass, moderate ratio (10:1), and extreme ratio (10⁶:1 and beyond).
 - **Expected value:** Produces a single figure showing plateau width vs. mass ratio — a reviewer-accessible demonstration of robustness that complements the symbolic rank result.
