I finally got a chance to finish the W-L article and subsequent series of
neutron absorptions and beta decays following the ULM neutron formation. I
would agree with Ed’s assessment that a rose by any other name is still a rose.
If a neutron absorption is normally considered “fusion” then this
Should still be considered fusion even if the wave length is longer and the
fusion is colder.

Li-6 + n -> Li-7 + n -> Li-8 -> Be-8 + e− + • {neutron absorption, then
betadecay} (4)
Be-8 -> He-4 + He-4 {perfectly symmetric, ‘green’ fission of a beryllium-8
nucleus} (5)
He-4 + n -> He-5 + n -> He-6 {neutron absorption, making neutron-rich
helium} (6)
He-6 -> Li-6 + e− + • {final beta decay of helium- 6 that regenerates
lithium-6} (7)
The above series of nuclear reactions comprise a ‘reaction cycle’ in that
lithium-6 is regenerated as the final reaction product [2]. Lattice has also
uncovered other LENR reaction cycles that release varying amounts of energy.
