The observed Z/A ≈ 0.33 for heavy nuclei is the energy-minimizing charge fraction for a fluid with vacuum stiffness β ≈ 3.04. This connects c₂ = 1/β (nuclear volume coefficient) to the asymptotic charge ratio, explaining why heavy nuclei have Z/A → 1/3 rather than Z/A = 1/2. -/ def heavy_nucleus_ratio_interpretation : String := "Z/A → 1/β ≈ 0.33 for heavy nuclei: energy minimization in stiff vacuum" end QFD_Proofs
