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

df / d t + v (k) . g r a d_{r} (f) + (F / hba r) . g r a d_{k} (f) = I n t e g r a l [S (k^{'}, k) \cdot f (k^{'}) - S (k, k^{'}) \cdot f (k)] d k^{'}

Boltzmann equation for carrier distribution f(r,k,t): semiclassical drift in (r,k) + scattering integral (phonon, ionized-impurity, surface); solved by Monte Carlo or iterative deterministic methods.

Well-posedness W

Existence:: true
Uniqueness:: true
Stability:: conditional
κ:: 600

Well-posed for given scattering rates; inversion for deformation potentials is ill-conditioned (multiple rates couple to same mobility).

Solvability C

Solver class:: Ensemble Monte Carlo (EMC); iterative Legendre-expansion (LEGSEM); adjoint-MC for inversion
Convergence rate q:: 2
Complexity:: O(N_particles * N_steps)
