abstract: >-
  BHRuler is a scale-invariant framework for comparing black holes
  across the mass spectrum, from stellar-mass X-ray binaries to
  ultra-massive black holes. It computes gravitational units, spin-aware
  ISCO frequencies via Bardeen-Press-Teukolsky, dual accretion
  prescriptions (efficiency bridge and ADAF/RIAF), MAD-motivated
  horizon magnetic fields, Blandford-Znajek jet powers, sphere of
  influence, and tidal disruption diagnostics with a tunable logistic
  capture boundary. Includes a single-file CLI tool, computed data
  tables, and a revised paper with five figures, 45 references, and
  worked uncertainty propagation.
