r = ι_τ^(2·dim(T²)) = ι_τ⁴ ≈ 0.0136
Derivation
dimensional suppression!theorem The tensor-to-scalar ratio $r = P_t/P_s$ is determined by the fibration structure $τ^3 = τ^1 ×_f T^2$:
r \;=\; ι_τ^\,2 · (T^2) \;=\; ι_τ^2 × 2 \;=\; ι_τ^4 \;≈\; 0.01357.
- Tensor perturbations (gravitational waves) are D-sector frame-holonomy fluctuations propagating on the base $τ^1$. They are insensitive to the fiber structure.
- Scalar perturbations (curvature/density fluctuations) are boundary-character fluctuations of the full arena $τ^3$, coupling to both fiber circles of $T^2$.
- Each fiber dimension contributes a breathing-fraction suppression $ι_τ$ to the scalar amplitude relative to the tensor amplitude.
- The power spectrum is quadratic in amplitude ($P |δ|^2$).
with the first factor equal to the number of lemniscate lobes and the second factor arising from $P |δ|^2$. (Registry: V.P136, $τ$-effective, Wave 13.)
