Why this page. A quick, sign-only recap of all Section 6 worked examples. Direction is the invariant: sign(e) = sign(RSI). All formulas are bounded and observation-only.
Sign checks (copy-ready)
H2 + O2 -> H2O : e > 0 -> RSI > 0 (favored)
N2 + 3 H2 -> 2 NH3 : e > 0 -> RSI > 0 (favored)
C + O2 -> CO2 : e > 0 -> RSI > 0 (strongly favored)
2 CO + O2 -> 2 CO2 : e > 0 -> RSI > 0 (strongly favored)
N2 + O2 -> 2 NO : e < 0 -> RSI < 0 (disfavored; edge-lift can explain observation)
CH3COOH + C2H5OH -> ester + H2O : e < 0 -> RSI < 0 (disfavored, data-light lens)
C2H4 + H2 -> C2H6 : e > 0 -> RSI > 0 (favored)
Invariants (all examples)
- Boundedness:
|a| < 1(with clamps),|RSI| < 1. - Collapse-safe:
phi(m,a) = m(stoichiometry preserved under collapse). - Table-free direction:
sign(e) = sign(RSI)fromE_formed > E_broken(or equivalent lens). - Gate preserves sign:
RSI_env = g_t * RSI,0 <= g_t <= 1⇒ sign unchanged; magnitude modulated.
Neutral-band reminder (optional policy)
If |e| < e_neutral or |RSI| < r_neutral, label the case Neutral (no direction claim) and rely on the 3-Test (Appendix C) to resolve.

Disclaimer (observation-only). All formulas and results are observation-only—not predictive or operational—and require peer validation and governance before any deployment.
