Phase 43 · local-scale power ceiling

How much zoom can reality afford?

AT-0343 → AT-0352, canonical AT-0361 → AT-0370. Deterministic toy benchmark seed 343. The dynamic-scale branch survived the observer-consistency audit, so the question is no longer whether it is coherent but whether it is worth anything: how much apparent leverage can a local, bounded, restoring, priced scale field actually buy?

SeedSeed 343 reproduces the recorded scale-power benchmark.Trigger amplitude — 0.90Strength of the one finite local kick. Nothing moving is ever prescribed.Rate bound — 3.0Hard limit on how fast local scale may change. The benchmark bound is 3.Nonlinearity χ — 0.55Local self-interaction. Zero is the linear ablation used to test necessity.Damping — 0.60Pull back towards baseline scale. This is what forces restoration.Diffusion — 3.2How strongly each site talks to its neighbours. Locality is never bypassed.Backreaction — 0.12Traveller pushing back on the field. Zero is the forbidden free-ride control.Identity coupling — 0.30How much a changing local scale disturbs the traveller's internal state.
