Livolsi, Edoardo: Event--Object Misclassification in LHCb Resonances - Non-Stationary Origin and Non-Ontological Status of Tetraquark and Pentaquark Signals

This paper examines the ontological status of resonance signals in high-energy physics, focusing on the interpretation of tetraquark and pentaquark states. Within a closed variational framework, physical existence is defined exclusively by stationary configurations selected by a global decisional functional. Experimental configurations, by contrast, are shown to be externally sustained, non-stationary, and therefore excluded from physical ontology. We demonstrate that all observables in high-ene
