Unclaimed Principle — open for contribution

This Principle is declared in the catalog but has no reference solver, no pinned dataset, and is not registered on-chain. There is no reward pool. Submitting a cert against this Principle today will record the cert for reproducibility but pay zero PWM.

To claim it as a Bounty #7 contribution: open a PR adding (1) a reference solver, (2) ≥1 dataset pinned to IPFS, (3) updates to the L3 manifest with dataset CIDs. After verifier-agent triple-review, the founders' 3-of-5 multisig signs PWMRegistry.register() and the Principle becomes mineable.

Forward model E

Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI): mri fourier encoding produces the measurement through a 4-node primitive DAG L.rf_excitation -> L.gradient_echo -> L.phase_mask -> int.spatial, with spatially-projected accumulation and additive Gaussian thermal/electronic noise. Recovery is posed as a linear inverse problem that inverts the forward operator to estimate the scene-side 3D susceptibility. Difficulty tier delta=3 with effective condition number kappa_eff~12; calibration-level mismatch (B0_inhomogeneity, air_tissue_boundaries, phase_wrap) sets the accuracy floor at the Omega boundary. See the forward_model field for the closed-form imaging equation.

Existence of the recovered 3D susceptibility is guaranteed within the declared Omega bounds. Uniqueness holds on the measurement-supported subspace; out-of-support modes are controlled by the declared priors. Stability is moderately conditioned (kappa_eff ~= 12); B0_inhomogeneity dominates the stability cliff; air_tissue_boundaries and the remaining mismatch parameters contribute higher-order bias terms. Additive gaussian thermal/electronic noise sets the irreducible data-fidelity floor, while mild Tikhonov or analytic inversion is sufficient at the nominal Omega point.
