Status: [ALLOWED] (ISL: 4.00)
Domain: Astronomy
Governor: ATMA-BHAN + NanoCERN
1. Object Claim
A massive planet (5–10x Earth mass) situated in the far outer solar system, proposed to explain the peculiar orbital clustering of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs).
2. Invariant Analysis
- Gravitational Signature: High inferential evidence derived from the
and
clustering of distant Kuiper Belt objects.
- Physical Bounds: Consistent with solar system formation models (Resource Boundedness – Law 1).
3. Governance Verdict
The system evaluates Planet Nine as a High-Value Hypothesis. While it currently resides in the `EXISTENT_OBSCURED` category due to a lack of direct photon-detection, its “Gravitational Gain” to the stability of the solar model is significant.
Metrics
- Gain: 12.0 (High Model Stability)
- Risk: 2.0 (Unobserved Hypothesis)
- ISL Score: 4.00 (Threshold: 1.5)
4. Conclusion
Verdict: ALLOW. Planet Nine is formally accepted as a “Virtual Atom” within the registry. It is granted existence in the simulation layer until infrared surveys provide a definitive `REFUSE` or `CONFIRM` signal.
