16-Mode Model: Deep Cascade

Experiment: exp_ns_16mode_solve.sx  |  Domain: Navier-Stokes Regularity

Hypothesis

Extending to 16 modes (8 velocity + 8 vorticity, wavenumbers \(k=1,2,3,4\)) introduces the deepest cascade yet, with viscous dissipation \(\nu k^2\) reaching \(\nu \cdot 16\) at the highest wavenumber. The framework should maintain perfect classification and \(\alpha = 2.0\), with \(A^*\) continuing to increase.

Method

  1. Implement the 16-mode model with 8 velocity and 8 vorticity modes at wavenumbers \(k=1,2,3,4\), with full triad cascade and viscous dissipation \(\nu k^2\) up to \(\nu \cdot 16\).
  2. Run the full 26-level H/H'/H'' hierarchy with doubling time criterion \(P\).
  3. Sweep amplitudes to find \(A^*(\text{truth})\) and \(A^*(P)\). Evaluate classification accuracy across 14 test amplitudes.
  4. Verify the deep cascade structure and check if \(A^*\) continues to increase.

The critical amplitude \(A^*\) increases monotonically with mode count. More modes = more stability = higher blow-up threshold.

Deep cascade works. With wavenumbers up to \(k=4\) and viscous dissipation \(\nu k^2\) up to \(\nu \cdot 16\), the 16-mode model represents the deepest energy cascade tested. The framework achieves 14/14 perfect classification with \(A^* = 0.347\) — the highest critical amplitude in the series. The scaffold bound (\(\alpha = 2.0\)) continues to hold exactly.

Analysis

  • Perfect classification maintained. 14/14 at 16 modes, matching 12-mode performance. The framework scales.
  • A* still increasing. \(A^* = 0.347\), up from 0.328 at 12 modes. The trend shows no sign of saturating.
  • Deep dissipation range. Viscous damping \(\nu k^2\) spans a 16:1 range across wavenumbers, yet the framework captures the regularity threshold precisely.
  • Alpha=2.0 universal. Five consecutive mode counts (6, 8, 10, 12, 16) all yield \(\alpha = 2.0\) exactly.
  • P/truth stable. 94.6% sits comfortably in the 93–96% band seen across all models.

Conclusion

The 16-mode deep cascade model achieves perfect classification (14/14) with \(A^* = 0.347\) and \(\alpha = 2.0\). The framework is fully mode-invariant across 6 to 16 modes, with \(A^*\) increasing monotonically and P/truth stable at 93–96%.
