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

X-ray Diffraction Space-Group Classification (PWDR): wraps L1-518 XRD analytical core with the deterministic crystallographic-symmetry decision tree from International Tables for Crystallography Vol A. Stage 1 (analytical, from L1-518): recover lattice parameters (a, b, c, alpha, beta, gamma), atomic positions, and systematic-absence pattern. Stage 2 (deterministic threshold): apply hierarchical decision tree (crystal system -> Bravais lattice -> point group -> space group) to assign one of 230 space groups per Hermann-Mauguin notation. Difficulty tier delta = 5. Mismatch parameters: lattice_parameter_uncertainty, systematic_absence_threshold_uncertainty, twinning_artifact, modulation_or_superlattice, pseudosymmetry_ambiguity.

Existence and uniqueness inherited from L1-518 with additional constraint: pseudosymmetry can cause space-group ambiguity (e.g., P2_1/n vs Pn — distinguishing requires additional statistics or chemistry constraint). Stability inherits L1-518's high condition number plus additive systematic_absence_threshold_uncertainty. Joint Hadamard well-posedness for the space-group classification established by Hahn 2005 (International Tables Vol A), Cromer-Liberman 1970 (anomalous scattering for centrosymmetry tests), Le Bail 2005 (powder indexing), Kabsch 2010 (XDS for space-group determination), Spek 2003 (PLATON ADDSYM).

Solvability C

Solver class:
linear-operator + decision-tree [International Tables Vol A space-group decision tree] | direct methods + symmetry-search [Le Bail indexing + space-group enumeration] | linear-operator + deep neural prior [SpaceGroupNet]
Convergence rate q:
1
Complexity:
O(N_reflections * 230) for full space-group enumeration; faster via hierarchical decision tree O(N_reflections * log(230))
