About this paper

Candidate W, the waking construction, has a neck: a flux tube of the axial sector that carries the store's twist. In the waking paper the tube existed as a premise — a picture with a price attached. This paper writes it as field equations: an action (Einstein–Cartan plus a dynamical Nieh–Yan term), the Cartan equations, flux quantization in grain units, the exterior profile, and the stress-energy. It passes the house gates — ghost, tachyon, crossing, degrees of freedom. The sign gate is NOT SATISFIED, and no toll is claimed. Two results. Candidate W is narrowed to its shift-symmetric Nieh–Yan member: in a Holst-value dress the storage rate varies 40.48× inside every grain and the drive law's affine pitch collapses. And the phase-slip factor is bounded: A_ps in [0.500, 0.828], S_grain in [4.20×10³⁵, 6.96×10³⁵] nats, against 0.017797 nats per grain required. The core is not determined: three zero-parameter completions (Born–Infeld, logarithmic, rational) spread g(1) by 1.66× and core tension by 3.7×. The exact missing piece is one function: the core completion g, equivalently the neck's spin-source profile. Any one premise naming g completes the construction at premise grade; until then the grade of the whole is the grade on this page: PARTIAL. The vacuum catastrophe is NOT SOLVED; producing-count 0 at derivation grade.
