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

PET-MR Fusion (molecular + multi-contrast soft tissue): pet mr fusion produces the measurement through a 5-node primitive DAG L.mr_multi_contrast -> L.pet_activity_map -> L.registration -> L.attenuation_from_mr -> int.spatial, with spatially-projected accumulation and additive Gaussian thermal/electronic noise. Recovery is posed as a non-convex inverse problem that inverts the forward operator to estimate the scene-side 4D pet mr fused. Difficulty tier delta=5 with effective condition number kappa_eff~16; calibration-level mismatch (mr_based_attenuation_error, motion_between_scans, truncation) sets the accuracy floor at the Omega boundary. See the forward_model field for the closed-form imaging equation.

Existence of the recovered 4D pet mr fused 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 ~= 16); mr_based_attenuation_error dominates the stability cliff; motion_between_scans and the remaining mismatch parameters contribute higher-order bias terms. Additive gaussian thermal/electronic noise sets the irreducible data-fidelity floor, while TV / wavelet-sparsity / deep priors stabilise recovery at the ill-conditioned end of Omega.
