Quantum Traction Theory and the LHC Top–Antitop Threshold A Parameter-Free, Empirical-PDF-Free Beam-Access Theorem of the Pseudoscalar Quasi-Bound Cross-Section

CMS reports 8.8+1.2

−1.4 pb and ATLAS reports 9.0 ±1.3 pb for the same threshold excess,

giving pulls−0.250σ and−0.404σ, respectively. Assuming independent display errors, the

two-detector combined pull is−0.462σ. Version 3.0 adds: (i) the finite Artian access complex;

(ii) a uniqueness/minimality argument for the gQTT

p rail; (iii) an exact finite-sum luminosity

formula; (iv) a locked 13 →14 TeV scaling prediction; and (v) a clear fragility ledger. The

strongest remaining audit target is the small-x Artian diffusion lemma; the proposed falsifier is

a future threshold-rate or energy-scaling extraction that repeatedly misses the same locked rail

under the declared channel conditions.
