Source and novelty audit
Search date: 19 September 2026. The review is targeted and non-exhaustive; it cannot establish research or patent priority. The manuscript distinguishes new derivation from established ingredients. No third-party full papers are bundled.

All bibliographic URLs and titles appear in the manuscript. The inaccessible full texts are not represented as fully reviewed. General probability, conservation, and diffusion derivations were performed explicitly in this report. Their standard mathematical ingredients are not claimed as new.
Novelty boundary
Candidate original contribution: the specific reliability-access co-design window and its finite optimal exponent under redundant-volume-dependent depletion. This is an original derivation within this document, with priority unverified. The key novelty question for expert review is whether equivalent coupled reliability/transport/conversion bounds already exist in algorithmic assembly, reliable distributed systems, reaction-network design, or manufacturing-process optimization.
No new DNA motif, nanoparticle synthesis, working inorganic repair mechanism, molecular compiler, universal manufacturing phase transition, or successful general-purpose device platform is claimed.
