    "abstract": "We report a fundamental geometric constraint on the detection of kinetic energy release (KER) in three-dimensional quantum fragmentation. By investigating the sudden dissociation of Slater-type orbitals, physically motivated basis for localized states, we demonstrate that the ratio of the peak detected energy to the integrated mean, $R_E = E_{\\text{peak}}/\\langle E \\rangle$, is strictly bounded below $0.5$ for all physical parameter spaces. We systematically map the behavior of $R_E$ across the orbital localization ($\\zeta$) and effective repulsive charge ($Q$) landscape. Our results show that while $R_E$ exhibits sensitivity to the force-field geometry at atomic scales, it converges to a remarkably stable, scale-invariant constant of $\\approx 0.33$ in the high-localization limit ($M \\propto \\zeta$) characteristic of subatomic ground states ($n=1$,$Q=1$). This $1/3$ geometric constant provides a provocative first-principles interpretation of the historical ``missing energy\u0027\u0027 problem in nuclear physics. We suggest that the $1/3$ average energy ratio observed in Beta decay spectra may be a topological artifact of the $4\\pi r^2$ volume weighting inherent to 3D wavefunctions, rather than exclusively a signature of undetected mass. This work establishes $R_E \u003c 0.5$ as a universal geometric baseline for quantum simulations and offers a new framework for reconstructing the true energy budget in subatomic calorimetry by correcting for the intrinsic masking effects of 3D radial geometry.",
