Sign of p-n splitting: QCD > EM
Neutron is heavier than proton because QCD contribution (~1.41 MeV) exceeds EM contribution (~0.12 MeV); sign is correct.

Claim boundary
This page reports a Registry-backed internal result surface. It is not an external validation claim, a scientific consensus claim, or independent acceptance.
Curation rationale
- physics-facing terms: neutron, proton, qcd
- candidate is better handled as evidence for an inferred existing public surface
