Establish non-redundant predictive content of the frenetic sector

Establish a ribosome-specific regime in which the frenetic decomposition predicts collision statistics that matched rate-level TASEP models and generic SSEP/TASEP activity analyses cannot reproduce, or establish that no such regime exists.

Background

The paper acknowledges that its current predictions about ribosomal collisions—including threshold initiation rates, queue lengths, spacing dependence, and decay flux—may already be obtainable from codon-level rate models and existing exclusion-process activity theory. The unresolved milestone is consequently comparative: the framework must either produce a distinctive prediction arising from multi-state elongation, extended sequence-dependent ribosomes, or collision-triggered removal, or concede that the decomposition is only a re-description of existing models.

References

I do not have one. Identifying such a regime, or establishing that none exists---in which case the correct conclusion is that existing exclusion-process activity theory already suffices and the present framework reduces to an application rather than an extension---is the second pre-registered milestone (Section~\ref{sec:milestone2}).
