Methods Glossary.
A working reference for the analytical, physical, and architectural concepts behind Riemann-anchored spectral neutronics. Each entry is a standalone anchor page — cite it, link it, argue with it.
Montgomery Pair Correlation
The conjecture that normalized spacings of Riemann zeta zeros match GUE eigenvalue statistics.
GUE Random Matrix Theory
The Gaussian Unitary Ensemble — Hermitian matrices whose eigenvalue statistics govern chaotic quantum systems.
Nontrivial Riemann Zeros
The complex zeros of ζ(s) lying on the critical line Re(s) = ½ — the skeleton of the spectral operator.
Spectral Neutronics
Closed-form eigenexpansion of the neutron transport operator over a Riemann-anchored basis.
Monte Carlo vs Analytical Closure
Why stochastic sampling is not the only path — and why analytical closure changes the deployment economics of advanced reactors.
TRISO Fuel
Tri-structural isotropic particles — the poppy-seed-sized fuel form at the core of modular high-temperature reactors.
Closed-Loop Helium Brayton Cycle
A waterless power conversion loop — helium as the working fluid, direct or indirect Brayton topology.
Modular Gigasite
A distributed lattice of small reactors operating as a single gigawatt-class asset — the civic analog of mitochondrial resonance.
Tensegrity Resonance
The scale-invariant geometry linking cellular tensegrity to civic energy lattices.
Neutronic Flattening
Shaping the radial flux profile so that power density is uniform across a TRISO core.
Python Spectral Tutorial: GUE Matrices from Scratch
Step-by-step NumPy walkthrough — generate a GUE matrix, extract its eigenvalue spectrum, and validate against Montgomery pair correlation.
