Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
This statement represents a textbook physical definition and foundational truth of quantum mechanics (specifically, the solution to the Schrödinger equation for a quadratic potential yielding $E_n = \hbar \omega (n + 1/2)$). Under Step 0, statements that are trivially true by definition or direct disciplinary observation are classified as COMMON_KNOWLEDGE.
