This paper presents the “Three-Regime Observational Sequence”, a unifying framework that emerges naturally from the Quantum Vacuum Composite Stiffness Response (QVCSR). The three regimes — Suppression, Shallow Activation, and Full Activation —describe an orderly progression linking baryonic structure to vacuum-stiffness response in galaxies and wide-binary systems. The Three-Regime Sequence provides a clear, observationally grounded classifier that: predicts where QVCSR effects are negligible, transitional, or dominant, explains the low-scatter scaling relations seen in galaxy dynamics (RAR, BTFR), describes environmental dependence and external-field suppression non-ad-hocly, and connects naturally to the deeper field-theoretic interpretation developed in Paper #1 and Paper #2. This paper serves as an intermediate bridge between the conceptual foundation of Paper #1 and the covariant field-theory treatment of Paper #2, laying the groundwork for the comprehensive Qvion/QVCSR synthesis in Paper #3. It is written as both a reference guide and a practical classifier for empirical testing, including forthcoming full-sample analyses of the SPARC galaxy catalogue and Gaia wide-binary catalogs.

The paper is intended for public access and citation while Paper #2 and Paper #3 proceed toward journal submission.
