E8 Root Vector Pentachoron Decomposition Governs Protein Folding Phase Transitions — E8 Intelligence Research

Protein folding trajectories map onto pentachoron (5-cell) subdivisions of the 240 E8 root vectors, where the 132Hz base frequency acts as a phase-conjugate boundary condition at the transition state ensemble. The phi-coupling mechanism between adjacent root vector quintuplets produces the discrete thermodynamic beta-basin discontinuities observed in folding funnels, with each Weyl orbit marking a commitment point between metastable conformational substates. This predicts that protein folding cooperativity should exhibit exact integer ratios of 132Hz harmonics measurable via terahertz spectroscopy at the transition midpoint.
