Nuclear Binding from LFCT: Three-Transition Staged-Release Framework, Iron-Peak Identity, and Sub-Percent Coulomb- Asymmetry Coefficient

Paper Za: Nuclear Binding from LFCT develops a zero-free-parameter structural framework for nuclear binding from deuterium through transuranics using the Light Frame Cadence Theory three-mode grammar, deriving the iron-peak ceiling, nuclear magic numbers, post-Ca-40 reserve-fill law, doubly-magic over-corrections, and the heavy-Z Coulomb–asymmetry coefficient ratio aC/aA = 3/π⁴ at sub-percent agreement with AME2020 across multiple nuclear-binding observables.
