Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) — crystallographic orientation mapping L1-089
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
Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD) — crystallographic orientation mapping: kikuchi diffraction pattern produces the measurement through a 4-node primitive DAG L.excitation.electron_beam -> L.diffraction_kikuchi -> L.pattern_match -> int.angular, with multi-angle tomographic integration and photon-shot-noise-limited (Poisson counting). Recovery is posed as a non-convex inverse problem that inverts the forward operator to estimate the scene-side euler angle field. Difficulty tier delta=5 with effective condition number kappa_eff~25; calibration-level mismatch (pattern_center_drift, band_contrast_degradation, grain_boundary_ambiguity) sets the accuracy floor at the Omega boundary. See the forward_model field for the closed-form imaging equation.

Existence of the recovered euler angle field is guaranteed within the declared Omega bounds. Uniqueness is local rather than global (non-convex landscape); convergence depends on initialisation and priors. Stability is moderately conditioned (kappa_eff ~= 25); pattern_center_drift dominates the stability cliff; band_contrast_degradation and the remaining mismatch parameters contribute higher-order bias terms. Photon-shot-noise-limited (poisson counting) sets the irreducible data-fidelity floor, while TV / wavelet-sparsity / deep priors stabilise recovery at the ill-conditioned end of Omega.
