## Acceptance requirements, not ASD confirmations

**PHENOMENOLOGICAL REQUIREMENTS · NOT YET DISCRIMINATING**. These observations specify what an electron/proton theory must explain. UNTESTED refers to the ASD candidate, not the observations. Sources are explicitly versioned CODATA 2022, PDG 2025 and individual experiments. Parentheses denote standard uncertainty in final digits; use each original paper for confidence limits.

Distinguish exactly defined SI constants from measured dimensionless relations. A datum used to set a coefficient is not an independent prediction.

## Turning a requirement into a test

Fix the action, shared parameters and calibration data before predicting an independent observable, its theoretical error and its difference from established theory. A distinguishing test needs a difference resolvable beyond combined uncertainty and ordinary effects. None of these eleven entries is labeled REPRODUCED. The [priority electron-solution task](/en/open-problems/matter/electron-solution) supplies the starting point.
