  • What calibration or observational window is declared before testing.
  • Which pass, stress, or non-exclusion language is actually allowed.
  • How same-window and same-instance requirements constrain interpretation.

Keep separate

  • Public support lanes versus owner-level theorem closure.

Manuscript-based orientation

What the manuscript says this paper establishes.

A public same-window optical branch-budget gate is evaluated for the electromagnetic-excitation branch-law sector of the covariant CHC framework (CHC-CBL) using the International Glazing Database (IGDB) Version 110.1 public release. The official installer is available, the embedded declared IGDB glazing database is identified, the database is exported to tabular form, and declared spectral-data table is selected as the same-window spectral table. The archived manuscript remains authoritative for exact notation, equations, assumptions, and exclusions.

Scope and non-claim boundary

The CBL optical branch-budget reading used here is restricted to the public IGDB glazing-product surface. The retained quantities are the spectral triplet

(T,Rfront,Rback)(\Tsol,\Rf,\Rb)
TeX source
(\Tsol,\Rf,\Rb)

on one IGDB release, one product identity, one wavelength grid, and one optical measurement convention. The derived optical absorptance branches are

Afront(λ)=1T(λ)Rfront(λ),Aback(λ)=1T(λ)Rback(λ).\Af(\lambda)=1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rf(\lambda), \qquad \Ab(\lambda)=1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rb(\lambda).
TeX source
\Af(\lambda)=1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rf(\lambda),
\qquad
\Ab(\lambda)=1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rb(\lambda).

The corresponding closure residuals are

Δfront(λ)=1T(λ)Rfront(λ)Afront(λ),Δback(λ)=1T(λ)Rback(λ)Aback(λ).\resf(\lambda)=\left|1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rf(\lambda)-\Af(\lambda)\right|,\notag \resb(\lambda)=\left|1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rb(\lambda)-\Ab(\lambda)\right|.
TeX source
\resf(\lambda)=\left|1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rf(\lambda)-\Af(\lambda)\right|,\notag

\resb(\lambda)=\left|1-\Tsol(\lambda)-\Rb(\lambda)-\Ab(\lambda)\right|.

The formulas in reference and reference are branch-budget identities under the declared IGDB optical convention. They are not a full CBL branch-tomography model. In particular, the gate does not identify externalized, ledger-retained, and sink branches for a single device or detector under a shared calibration map.

The excluded readings are:

- same-instance full CBL branch tomography; - sealed calibration/covariance certificate; - direct detector-microdynamics closure; - Maxwell or QED replacement; - Planck-law replacement; - branch-fraction assignment outside the declared IGDB optical convention.

Public source and release materialization

IGDB is maintained by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a public optical data collection for glazing products and is used by LBNL WINDOW and the NFRC rating ecosystem [citation]. The IGDB installation procedure states that the setup file installs a complete declared IGDB glazing database [citation]. IGDB submission guidance specifies solar optical measurements over the 300--2500 nm interval [citation]. Supporting IGDB documentation and inter-laboratory comparison reports describe transmittance and front/back reflectance in the 300--2500 nm optical region and front/back emissivity from thermal-infrared reflectance in the 5--25 micron region [citation].

The selected table has the retained columns

(GlazingID,WavelengthIndex,AngleIndex,Wavelength),(Angle,T,Rf,Rb).(\texttt{GlazingID},\texttt{WavelengthIndex},\texttt{AngleIndex},\texttt{Wavelength}), (\texttt{Angle},\texttt{T},\texttt{Rf},\texttt{Rb}).
TeX source
(\texttt{GlazingID},\texttt{WavelengthIndex},\texttt{AngleIndex},\texttt{Wavelength}),

(\texttt{Angle},\texttt{T},\texttt{Rf},\texttt{Rb}).

The same-window rule requires T, Rf, and Rb to be read from the same IGDB release, same product record, same wavelength entry, and same measurement convention. The evaluated scoring uses the wavelength column converted to nanometers before applying the 300--2500 nm gate.

The construction record is: the public IGDB v110.1 release is identified; the embedded declared IGDB glazing database object is identified and used; the same-window spectral table is selected; wavelengths are converted to nanometers before the 300--2500 nm gate; row-level closure residuals and auxiliary product-bound scores are computed; and the non-claim boundary is confirmed. The route is a declared public-data evaluation on the official IGDB release, not a same-sample calibration/covariance evaluation.

Branch-budget gate

For each retained row, the branch-budget construction computes Afront\Af\Af and Aback\Ab\Ab by reference. A row passes the row-level branch-budget part of the gate when

Δfront(λ)τcl,Δback(λ)τcl,\resf(\lambda)\le \tau_{\rm cl}, \qquad \resb(\lambda)\le \tau_{\rm cl},
TeX source
\resf(\lambda)\le \tau_{\rm cl},
\qquad
\resb(\lambda)\le \tau_{\rm cl},

with

τcl=109.\tau_{\rm cl}=10^{-9}.
TeX source
\tau_{\rm cl}=10^{-9}.

The strict bound part of the gate further requires

τbAfront(λ)1+τb,τbAback(λ)1+τb,-\tau_{\rm b}\le \Af(\lambda)\le 1+\tau_{\rm b}, \qquad -\tau_{\rm b}\le \Ab(\lambda)\le 1+\tau_{\rm b},
TeX source
-\tau_{\rm b}\le \Af(\lambda)\le 1+\tau_{\rm b},
\qquad
-\tau_{\rm b}\le \Ab(\lambda)\le 1+\tau_{\rm b},

with

τb=109.\tau_{\rm b}=10^{-9}.
TeX source
\tau_{\rm b}=10^{-9}.

A product-level strict pass requires all retained row entries for that product in the gate to satisfy both reference and reference.

The final classification is

CBL-RTA-SAME-WINDOW-PUBLIC-CHECK-SATISFIED.\boxed{\mathrm{CBL\text{-}RTA\text{-}SAME\text{-}WINDOW\text{-}PUBLIC\text{-}CHECK\text{-}SATISFIED}}.
TeX source
\boxed{\mathrm{CBL\text{-}RTA\text{-}SAME\text{-}WINDOW\text{-}PUBLIC\text{-}CHECK\text{-}SATISFIED}}.

The substatus is

TeX source
\boxed{\mathrm{IGDB\text{-}V110\_1\text{-}ROW\text{-}CLOSURE\text{-}CHECK\text{-}SATISFIED}}.

This substatus is deliberately row-level. The auxiliary strict product-bound score reports 6,775 strict candidate-pass products and 55 strict non-pass products among the 6,830 retained products. The non-pass products are strict-bound non-pass cases, not closure non-pass cases: the retained rows satisfy the declared closure condition, while the strict product-bound criterion is not universal. The retained rows satisfy the branch-budget identity after Afront\Af\Af and Aback\Ab\Ab are computed by reference, while some derived absorptance values fall just outside the declared strict bound tolerance.

Relation to CBL-VP0

CBL-VP0 classified the EKHI radiative-property branch as R/T/AR/T/AR/T/A-partial because a same-window reflectance--transmittance--absorptance triple was not present on that lane. The IGDB gate supplies a public same-window optical triplet for a glazing-product release and therefore supports CBL-RTA-SAME-WINDOW-PUBLIC-CHECK-SATISFIED under the IGDB convention. This is a same-window optical branch-budget result only. It does not alter the status of same-instance full CBL branch tomography, which remains unavailable without a shared sample/interface manifest, calibration map, and covariance or interval object.

Failure conditions

The classification in reference must be rejected or re-evaluated if any of the following occurs:

- the IGDB v110.1 installer or declared IGDB glazing database public source is inconsistent with the declared public-source summary; - declared spectral-data table is not recovered from the same declared database; - T, Rf, and Rb are not read from the same product and same wavelength convention; - the wavelength conversion to nanometers is not applied before the 300--2500 nm gate; - row-level closure residuals exceed τcl=109\tau_{\rm cl}=10^{-9}\tau_{\rm cl}=10^{-9}; - the result is described as same-instance full branch tomography, sealed calibration/covariance closure, detector microdynamics closure, Maxwell/QED replacement, or Planck-law replacement.

Conclusion

CBL-VP1 establishes a same-window public optical branch-budget check on IGDB v110.1. The public IGDB installer is available, declared IGDB glazing database supplies the public source surface, declared spectral-data table is identified as the same-window spectral table, and the branch-budget convention A=1TRA=1-T-RA=1-T-R is applied to front and back reflectance over the 300--2500 nm gate. The result reaches CBL-RTA-SAME-WINDOW-PUBLIC-CHECK-SATISFIED under the row-level substatus IGDB-V110_1-ROW-CLOSURE-CHECK-SATISFIED. The strict product-bound score remains an auxiliary diagnostic, not a product-universal classification. This supplies bounded public-data support for the CBL R/T/A lane. It remains a public same-window optical branch-budget gate, not a same-instance full branch-tomography certificate and not a replacement for Maxwell, QED, Planck-law, or detector microdynamics.
