Catalog identifies 6 classes of compact stellar objects, evaluating their observational signatures and implications.
Catalog of 6 classes of compact objects derivable from TQNT-V5 principles: (A) DM Pearls [ref dm_pearls v2, 10.5281/zenodo.20559268], (B) Topological PBH seeds from Vassiliev-suppressed heavy proton clustering, (C) Knot-Baryon Hybrid Stars, (D) Heavy proton plasma BBN-transient, (E) Strange Knot Stars (6 STRICT V5 amphichirals), (F) Primordial unknot defects (V5.17 cascade analogs). For each class: typical mass scale, primordial abundance, JWST observational signature. Confrontation with JWST 'impossible early galaxies' SMF residual (post Krishnan+Abazajian 2026 audit): V5 compact objects do NOT explain the residual SMF (gap +5 to +25 dex). But they remain valuable for: AGN seeding (Class B), DM sub-population (A, E), microlensing (A), IMBH population (F), BBN primordial abundance tests (D). Validation: 25/25 pytest tests passing. Part of the TQNT-V5 monograph (10.5281/zenodo.19131538); complements V5.7 v1.4 (10.5281/zenodo.20674849); references DM pearls v2 (10.5281/zenodo.20559268).
