My sense is that the transmutation process is dependent on the geometry of the surface that the LENR reaction is produced by. There are many types of such surface geometries that are capable of producing the LENR effect and therefore there are many types of transmutation mechanisms possible among the various classes of LENR experiments.
The false assumption that underlie this discussion is that LENR must always produce helium. This assumption may be valid in a particular narrow class of LENR experiments, by invalid in another class of experiments because of the geometric surface characteristics of the particular class of experiments. At the end of the day, LENR and its associated ash production is based on the particular geometry of the surface that is producing the ash.
