Real-space decimation of the condensate density yields a stable ξ(L) ladder without blow-up — the honest RG operation on |ψ|² complements the Gaussian filter proxy (sim_59).
Purpose
Apply **Kadanoff block-spin** (non-overlapping averaging) to a **256²** trapped GPE density, building a discrete ladder and proxies — the honest statistical-mechanics coarse graining complementary to Gaussian filtering.
What it proves
Seven or more coarse levels complete with finite healing lengths and bounded interior steps — no numerical blow-up in the ladder.
Relation to current theory
Pairs with sim_59: Gaussian vs block-spin RG stories on the same numerical laboratory. When CUDA is available the **imaginary-time ground state** uses **CuPy FFT** split steps.
