  "abstract": "The feasibility of a single, explicitly constructible quantum object—a “Base State”—serving as a substrate for the Standard Model is examined. Existing quantum hardware provides only limited quantitative data: the Tianyan‑287 superconducting processor (105 qubits; single‑qubit gate fidelity 99.90 %, two‑qubit gate fidelity 99.56 %, readout fidelity 98.7 %) [2]. Using a multiplicative error model, per‑operation error rates of 1.0×10^-3, 4.4×10^-3, and 1.3×10^-2 are derived, together with a two‑qubit serial budget of at most 157 gates at 50 % aggregate fidelity (154 with a final readout). Full‑register readout caps verification fidelity at F_ro≈0.2532, and a representative 105‑qubit circuit attains F_circ≈0.1467. A generic 105‑qubit pure state requires 2¹06-2≈8.113×10³1 real parameters, far exceeding the $105$ bits needed to index a basis state. A three‑stage falsification protocol is proposed. The analysis shows that quantitative hardware limits, not a no‑go principle, currently prevent verification of any structured Base State on this platform.",
