Stationary Molecular Sonification and the Failure Geometry of Creative Generative Systems: A Validated Dataset and Methods Framework Using Limonene (C₁₀H₁₆)

This record contains a validated dataset of uncompressed .wav audio artifacts documenting a controlled molecular sonification experiment using limonene (C₁₀H₁₆) as a reference system. The dataset implements a baseline-plus-single-perturbation methodology designed to suppress musical, symbolic, and narrative structure, treating sonification as an instrumentation problem rather than a compositional one. A stationary thermal equilibrium baseline is first established as a continuous-time reference field. Two orthogonal physical perturbations are then applied independently as differential transforms: (1) molecular chirality encoded exclusively as stereo phase asymmetry and validated via equal-power mono projection, and (2) temperature encoded as variance-only agitation around a fixed mean and validated through stationarity and variance checks. Projection artifacts are included to explicitly demonstrate invariance properties under dimensional reduction. All files were generated under identical constraints and are intended to function as calibration references, replication targets, or methodological examples. In addition to its role in perceptual chemistry experiments, the dataset exposes systematic failure modes in creative generative systems when constrained to non-symbolic, continuous representations, including instrument hallucination, rhythmic attractors, energetic narratives, and directional bias. The accompanying paper and methods appendix document constraints, validation criteria, and reproducibility requirements in full.
