RE: LION 2 - Diamond / Nickel / Deuterium elemental comparison, virgin and post experiment
a) Firstly the Ti was between 0.3% with low certainty. Secondly the Ti can from using the George Ohsawa reaction:
28,30Si + 18O > 46,48 Ti
Additional 13C can be bred via CNO reaction path ( addition of 2 protons to 12C + decays ) - See here
b) There was a mention that some chemical process might be in play, what you contribute is good detail - especially since in most places these other elements are 0.8% or below with spots around 2%
c) not so convinced on the double spots here since there does not appear to be the symmetry - however, it may manifest differently in the dynamic process of 'mining' the diamonds - or it may be that what we are seeing here is just the cooled / solidified residue of the material that was acted on, physically wetted to the cut plane at the end of the action, resulting in asymmetry. You are right in saying that analysis of the compositions would shed more light on potential relationships. This is certainly something to explore when taking another look at the samples.
Thanks for your skilled contribution.

That seems unlikely: Since the pads are soaked in heavy water it would be a deuterium environment rather than a hydrogen environment. There's some H in the D2O, but would that be enough? The CNO cycle wouldn't run on D as the first step in the cycle would produce stable 14N if that would in fact be the fusion path. Similarly 14N with D would produce stable 16O.
As for the symmetry in the double spots. We have a difference of opinion/observation/belief there. I guess some algorithm would be better at recognising symmetry without expectations and could supply a degree of certainty along with the observation. Bare in mind the 'entry' and 'exit' spots could be different looking: if this phenomenon is analog to solar flares for instance, the symmetry would be in the magnetic field lines rather than the plasma that roughly follows the pattern. Macro symmetry with localised asymmetry.
It would be awesome to see the diamond lite up with rainbow shaped 'electron flares' (if that is what happens). What would that even look like? And how would the magnetic field generated by the heater coils interact with these dynamic structures? Would it bend the donut shape? Also, why would the structure curve back to the surface to form a half a donut shape?
Looking forward to seeing more!
Granted it was only 0.2% H2O in the Merck D2O.
You need to collate the form of Strange Radiation track 'paw prints' in LION with the Surface features.
There will be more.
