Orbit view 2.5D ecliptic projection

Not renderable from current data. This is a rotating-frame (CR3BP-family — CR3BP, CCR4BP, or CRNBP) periodic or quasi-periodic orbit. A faithful render requires numerical propagation of the synodic-frame state, which the catalogue does not yet publish as a sampled path — so no stand-in ellipse is drawn (drawing a heliocentric ellipse here would misrepresent the dynamics). Whatever identity fields the model supports (Jacobi constant, period, stability — not all apply to every model in this family; see "Model assumption" above) are tabulated above.

Notes

cycler-corridor CHARACTERIZATION, NOT a discovery. This row measures the quasi-periodic (KAM) torus corridor surrounding an ALREADY-KNOWN, already-stability- classified periodic orbit: 3D-lifted member 7 of 7 (stratified sample) of the generic Earth-Moon L1 spatial Lyapunov family (seed_route='lyapunov3d'). This is a DIFFERENT lineage from the Braik-Ross common-energy resonant cyclers (C21/C32 sibling rows in this same writeback) -- no Braik-Ross Table 2 entry corresponds to this family, and it has NO literature parent at all (a generic, well-known CR3BP structural class -- spatial Lyapunov orbits bifurcating from the planar L1 Lyapunov family -- computed in-repo, not itself individually published). KAM theory GUARANTEES some quasi-periodic torus family exists around any linearly-stable periodic orbit -- the open question this measurement answers is purely how BIG that corridor is, not whether it exists. Explicitly NOT conflated with this project's one confirmed novel finding (the Uranian symmetric-closure family); see data/OUTSTANDING.md's [[project_novel_findings_status]] note. Measurement result: corridor tube half-width 2725.4 km / 11.88 m/s at amplitude rung 0.005 (nondim), independent closure residual 7.679e-05 (nondim; gate 1.0e-4 = ~38.44 km equivalent). This is a genuine WALL -- the independent closure residual crossed the closure gate (or the Newton corrector failed to converge) at the next amplitude rung up, so this value IS the measured corridor edge. Method: identical GMOS amplitude-ladder census as the C21/C32 sibling rows in this same writeback -- see those rows' notes for the full method + positive-control paragraph (genome.qp_tori.correct_qp_torus; positive control tests/search/test_variational_qp_torus.py::test_l2_positive_control_reproduces_gmos_torus). Schema note: admitted as orbit_class=quasi_cycler under the schema v5.2 epoch-free CR3BP KAM-corridor carve-out (data/catalogue.schema.json v5.2; see the C21/C32 sibling rows' identical schema-note paragraph for the full rationale).
