You are helping me submit a MODIFICATION of L1-074 (Talbot-Lau Grating Interferometry (X-ray phase-contrast imaging)) to the PWM Protocol — a Principle (L1) artifact.

I will paste a Markdown template (or the current L1-074.md).
1. Rewrite the Markdown so the science is correct and clearly explained for my change.
2. Regenerate the sibling L1-074.json so EVERY field matches the Markdown.
3. Keep the schema in the "File Mapping" footer at the bottom of the MD.
4. Keep the parent reference unchanged unless I ask otherwise.
Rules: the Markdown is the source of truth; use SI units; do NOT invent benchmark scores.
Output each file in its own fenced code block tagged with the filename.

# ⚛ L1 Principle — Talbot-Lau Grating Interferometry (X-ray phase-contrast imaging) **ID:** `L1-074` · **Status:** ⊙ Testnet (genesis catalog) > **🌐 Domain:** Coherent Imaging — *Grating-based phase and dark-field imaging* > **🎯 Problem class:** linear inverse · **🧮 Solution space:** triplet 2D fields > **📡 Carrier:** x_ray · **🌫 Noise:** shot poisson > **⚖ Difficulty (δ):** 3 · **⛓ Block:** 41554170 --- ## 🧠 1. Introduction **Talbot-Lau Grating Interferometry (X-ray phase-contrast imaging)** is a **linear inverse problem** whose unknown lives in **triplet 2D fields** space, within the **Grating-based phase and dark-field imaging** sub-domain of **Coherent Imaging**. Measurements consist of X-ray photons transmitted through (or scattered by) the sample via a **grating interferometry** sensing mechanism. The forward operator applies, in order: K · transmit · grating operator; F · propagation · fresnel operator; L · modulation · analyzer operator; pixel-level spatial averaging on the detector. Observations are corrupted by Poisson shot noise from quantum-limited detection. Well-conditioned linear Fourier extraction of three contrast channels from K phase-stepped frames (K >= 3 required; K = 8 typical for noise averaging). Stability dominated by grating alignment and vibration; dark-field channel degrades when visibility V < 0.15. ## ⚙ 2. Forward Model Physical chain: **x** → K · transmit · grating → F · propagation · fresnel → L · modulation · analyzer → Spatial integration → **y** (detector). ``` y = ∫_A dA `L.modulation.analyzer` `F.propagation.fresnel` `K.transmit.grating` x, measurements ~ Poisson(αy) ``` **Measurement DAG:** | Primitive | What it does | |---|---| | `K.transmit.grating` | K · transmit · grating operator | | `F.propagation.fresnel` | F · propagation · fresnel operator | | `L.modulation.analyzer` | L · modulation · analyzer operator | | `int.spatial` | Pixel-level spatial averaging on the detector | ## 🔬 3.
