An Identifiability Audit of One-Parameter Structural Corrections to the Radial Acceleration Relation in SPARC

We ask whether any one-parameter structural correction to the radial acceleration relation (RAR) can be uniquely recovered from SPARC rotation curves, and answer with an identifiability audit: each candidate is benchmarked against per-galaxy nuisance freedom, with predictive scoring against mass-only and data-quality baselines. In the full sample (N = 126) the answer is no: a hybrid compactness term improves the fit, but zero-point freedom absorbs the gain, and in cross-validation the model fails to out-predict a mass-only baseline and loses to a quality-flag baseline. One regime retains structural information: in gas-dominated, low-acceleration disks -- where MOND's strict locality and CDM feedback models diverge most sharply -- the RAR residual correlates with compactness (r=0.46, p=1.3 times10-4), remains significant under hierarchical partial pooling (beta=0.23, p=1.7 times10-5; N = 63), and survives canonical joint control for quality, sampling, mass, inclination error, and first-order pressure support (r=0.30, p=0.02). All significant results pass a Benjamini-Hochberg correction over the declared 27-test family. Three limits temper that survival: it is not significant under rank-based control over the widest proxy set; it resides in faint dwarfs independent surveys do not reach; and after mass control it is shared across the mass-size manifold. Pressure support brackets the interpretation -- isotropic drift correction absorbs a quarter of the amplitude, while a Jeans treatment overcorrects resolved cases -- leaving the physical origin undetermined. The audit's product is the extraction limit: claimed corrections must clear the 0.106 dex per-galaxy nuisance floor, a mass-only baseline, and data-quality stratification.
