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.

PillCam-SPECTRA Optical-Property Recovery: analytical forward model for capsule-endoscopic multispectral diffuse reflectance. Light source at capsule LED illuminates GI mucosa at N wavelengths (typically 5-12 in 400-1000 nm range), CMOS camera captures backscattered light. Diffuse reflectance R(mu_a, mu_s', g, rho) follows the modified Beer-Lambert / spatially-resolved diffusion approximation in turbid tissue, where rho is the source-detector separation (~5 mm in PillCam form factor). Recovery is posed as the spectral-spatial inverse problem that recovers (mu_a, mu_s')(r, lambda) and derived chromophore concentrations (HbO2, Hb, water, lipid, melanin) from N_wavelengths frames. The forward DAG has 6 primitives with one coupling constraint (n_c = 1): the multiplicative coupling between absorption coefficient mu_a and detected intensity through diffuse reflectance fluence — same canonical coupling that qPAT exhibits in its first stage, but without the thermoelastic-acoustic transduction. Difficulty tier delta = 3 (standard) given established diffuse-reflectance theory and well-conditioned multispectral acquisition. Mismatch parameters: capsule_to_mucosa_distance, scattering_anisotropy_g, mucosal_curvature, illumination_uniformity, motion_blur, capsule_orientation_drift. Gaussian thermal noise sets the data-fidelity floor.

Well-posedness W

Existence:: true
Uniqueness:: conditional
Stability:: conditional
κ:: 80

Existence of recovered chromophore concentrations is guaranteed within the declared Omega bounds. Uniqueness holds under multi-wavelength acquisition with N_wavelengths >= 5 (sufficient to resolve the typical chromophore basis); single-wavelength acquisition is non-unique (cannot decompose mu_a into chromophore components). Stability is well-conditioned (kappa_eff ~ 15) — capsule_to_mucosa_distance dominates absolute-concentration bias; mucosal_curvature contributes a geometric-correction factor; scattering_anisotropy_g uncertainty contributes a scaling factor of order ~10%. Joint Hadamard well-posedness for the diffuse-reflectance forward is established by Farrell-Patterson-Wilson 1992 (foundational), Wang-Jacques 1995 (MCML), Yudovsky-Pilon 2010 (multispectral inverse), Bjorgan-Milanic-Randeberg 2014 (hyperspectral classification), and Calin-Parasca-Savastru 2014 (medical hyperspectral).
