23. Steady-State Nucleosynthesis Independently Reproduces Deuterium

The deuterium abundance measured in metal-poor Lyman-alpha forest absorbers is reproduced by the same steady-state framework as the equilibrium value maintained by continuous stellar processing, with the observed spatial variation across absorbers explained by differing degrees of local stellar processing, not by proximity to a single primordial epoch. Between the three light elements, BFUT accounts for lithium, helium, and deuterium from ongoing stellar-scale physics and fundamental constants alone, where the standard model has failed specifically on lithium for thirty years [P3].
