Two protons, twelve orientations each — and where the 1/4 comes from.
IllustrativeThe 144 = (3×4)² count and the 36/72/36 split are the corpus’s own derivation; the face-vs-dimension classification pictured here is one illustrative reading of it.the real reading →

soft coupling — fusion favoured 36 · 1/4
partial — orthogonal 72 · 1/2
hard scatter — repels 36 · 1/4
antiparallel → protons converge
The soft 1/4 matches the Sun's spin-singlet fraction — the same one-in-four turns up independently.
The count 144 = (3×4)² and the 36 / 72 / 36 split are the corpus's own derivation (AP10 + AP19); the exact face-vs-dimension classification shown here is an illustrative reading of that split. The deep claim — that antiparallel alignment cancels the Coulomb barrier — remains the fusion sketch's one unresolved 3/10 step.
