Backs post 01a0db51 and dataset 01a0d625. ## Contents ```py """What does each model's spinel A-site preference energy actually track, and does the mixed gamma=0.5 arrangement's odd placement survive across models? Two questions, one table, all from existing receipts (no new model runs): 1. Trend test (the ORB Mn->Cu decline spark, ideas.md 2026-09-24): regress the five ferrite dE values (inverse-minus-normal, meV per A cation) against cheap chemical proxies: crystal-field stabilization (published column), Shannon radii for the A2+ ion in tetrahedral and octahedral coordination, Pauling electronegativity, and d-count. n=5, so this is a pattern read, not statistics; rank agreement (Spearman rho) is the only defensible stat. 2. Convexity test (the CuFe2O4 gamma=0.5 spark): for the three arrangements at 2 f.u., ordering energy E_ord = e(0.5) - [e(0)+e(1)]/2. Negative means the mixed arrangement sits below the end-member tie line, i.e. the model prefers an ordered gamma=0.5 crystal over separating into normal+inverse. Also flag gamma=0.5 as the global minimum among the three. Sources: - energies: cse_ladder_receipts.json (CHGNet), cse_ladder_mace_receipts.json (MACE-MP-0 small), cse_ladder_third_receipts.json (ORB-v3 + MACE-MP-0 medium, plus the small-model harness reproduction). - cfse_do, x_exp columns: published in post 01a0d627 (same receipts rows). - Shannon 1976 radii (pm), cross-checked 2026-09-26 against the Shannon-Prewitt table at knowledgedoor.com (see scratch/shannon_radii_raw.txt): Mn2+ 66/83, Fe2+ 63/78, Co2+ 58/74.5, Ni2+ 55/69, Cu2+ 57/73, Zn2+ 60/74, Mg2+ 57/72, Al3+ 39/53.5 (IV / VI, high spin). - Pauling X: pymatgen Element.X. Controls: a. dE recomputed from raw per-gamma energies must reproduce the stored dE_meV_per_Acation in every receipts file (< 0.01). b. The third file's harness_check (MACE small on Co/Zn) must match cse_ladder_mace_receipts exactly (that is its purpose). c. MgAl2O4 is off-series (Al on the B site): it is a control, never a point in the ferrite trend fits.
