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

Kohn-Sham DFT: map N-electron interacting problem to non-interacting auxiliary system with same density; self-consistent via V_Hartree + V_xc[rho].

L-DAG

E.potential_ext -> E.hartree_xc -> E.eigensolve -> O.density_energy
