2106 — Flavor Textures Rigidify Purity but Do Not Select Its Value

All 1,210 viable texture sheets were compared with 12,100 points drawn uniformly from the complete OBS17 $\chi^2\le4$ ball.

The sheet standard deviation of $F_t$ is $2.02\times10^{-5}$, only 2.51% of the null standard deviation $8.03\times10^{-4}$. Thus the texture atlas strongly rigidifies the readout.

However, the sheet mean $0.9920323$ remains within one null standard deviation of the null median $0.9914444$. The texture constraints do not significantly select the numerical location; they make a data-compatible value nearly class-constant.

Hence flavor currently separates:

$$\text{physical-data localization} \longrightarrow \text{texture-induced rigidity},$$

without a source-derived explanation of the numerical point.
