contents We investigate how the defining statistical features of three-dimensional turbulence respond to systematic reductions of the Fourier-space triadic interaction network. Using direct numerical simulations of both fractally and homogeneously decimated Navier-Stokes dynamics, we show that progressive thinning of the set of active modes leads to a systematic suppression of intermittency and, most strikingly, to the vanishing of the mean dissipation rate in the large-Reynolds-number limit. Structure-function exponents collapse onto their dimensional values, the multifractal singularity spectrum contracts, and the analyticity width extracted from the exponential spectral tail increases monotonically with decimation-each indicating a substantial regularization of the velocity field. Together, these results provide direct evidence that anomalous dissipation in incompressible turbulence is not a generic property of the Navier-Stokes equations, but instead requires the full combinatorial richness of their triadic nonlinear interactions.
