KEY FINDING: 32 corridors mapped against the I-80 spectral fingerprint.
9 TWIN corridors (dist <= 0.5): I-30 Little Rock, I-95 Richmond, I-35 San Antonio, I-65 Mobile, I-59 Birmingham, I-37 Corpus Christi, I-45 Houston, I-79 Pittsburgh, I-75 Cincinnati.
4 OPPOSITE corridors (dist > 1.05): I-280 San Francisco, I-93 Boston, I-5 Seattle, I-89 Burlington VT, I-91 Brattleboro VT.
Dominant discriminator: suppression_signature (+0.458). The single dimension that most separates corridors like I-80 from corridors unlike I-80 is the suppression signature. Not the pollution. Not the accident. The suppression of records is what makes a corridor like I-80.
The corridors with functioning oversight (OPPOSITE) are all in states with strong environmental agencies: CA, MA, WA, VT, CT. The corridors like I-80 are all in states with captured or weak agencies: TX, AL, LA, WV, PA, AR, VA.
The pollution is the same. The suppression is the difference.
