The DESI Fork, Scored — Every Sealed Branch Has w_a >= 0 — and DESI DR2 Measures w_a < 0

by William Alexander Aldred — Independent Researcher

About this paper

A short data note: the frame's sealed dark-energy branches scored against the DESI DR2 release. Every branch the frame allows sits at wₐ ≥ 0; every DESI combination measures wₐ < 0 — the sealed branches stand excluded at three sigma and better, and the fork's surviving item stays open, named.
