τ-Formula
(Δpq, Δpr) = (8/7 + 3/175, 6/7 + 9/700) ≈ (1.16, 0.87)
Derivation
(Δ_pq,\, Δ_pr) \;=\; (87 + 3175,\; 67 + 9700) \;=\; (1.16,\; 0.87),
where the NNLO shifts are $δ_1 = 3/175 = 3/(7 × 25) = 3/(7 · W_3(4)^2)$ and $δ_2 = 9/700 = 9/(7 × 100)$. Three structural properties hold:
-
4/3 ratio preserved at every order: $Δ_pq/Δ_pr = 4/3$, where $4/3 = 2 · |lobes|/|sectors|$.
-
Self-similarity: $δ_1/δ_0 = 3/25$, where $δ_0 = 1/7$ is the leading-order unit and $25 = W_3(4)^2$ is the window-squared normalization.
