session 2026-08-02 evening: Control Kernel v1.0→v1.1, reduction arm, CONTROL-A/B, trial 04 VOID, correlation 01

Session record, memory updates and KG appends for the evening session.

Filed: Control Kernel v1.0 (frozen, superseded) and v1.1 (governing); the
reduction arm and its two censuses; CONTROL-A and its defect twin with a
bidirectionally-gated ledger; trial 04 (CONTROL VOID) and its pre-registration;
correlation 01 — the first measurement of Constraint 6's own falsifier, jurist
4-of-6 and Fool 0-of-6 with no overlap.

New feedback memory: removing a claim is not the same as removing the reliance on
it. Earned by finding that draft 3's "fix" to CONTROL-A had CONCEALED a defect
rather than closed it — invisible to me, the kernel and four gates, found by a
differently-formed reader.

Verification ladder: the discrimination gate — a check must return different
verdicts on two REAL artifacts, one with the property and one without.

6 KG lines: two drift-patterns, one good-direction, two preventions, and the
Constraint 6 first-measurement.

 ## Active Session
-- [Session 2026-08-02 pm — the transfer landed, and the vignette was a diagram](session-2026-08-02-pm-the-transfer-landed-and-the-vignette-was-a-diagram.md) — **PENDING-90**: the first L2 transfer, carrying Constraint 6 into CapableMind's calibration loop (AdaptationChain records who *initiated* an adaptation, never who *checked* it; `authorization.required:false` = the whole self-adjustment case, no checker in the record). **#176 reply posted.** Then ARC: the **vignette built from zero** (Phase 1a, `tools/vignette-proto/`, no protected surface touched) + **PENDING-91** jurist package. **Every substantive defect was found by rendering and looking, none by the mechanical checks — all of which passed.** Steward's **Notre-Dame** anchor reframed it: the render is a *diagram* where the spec intends *inscription*; **meaning lives in the syntax, not the lexicon**. Yield = a **nine-item census** of where the spec under-determines the render. **PULLING THREAD: Trial 03** — the Fool's false-positive control, unblocked now the M4 is reachable.
+- [Session 2026-08-02 evening — the control was not sound](session-2026-08-02-evening-the-control-was-not-sound.md) — **Trial 03 VOID ×3** (harness certified a run with no answer · anti-echo forbade the region under test · **it was never the false-positive control** — I inherited that label from my own wrap). Steward corrected the blocking framing: **operational soundness relative to a declared axiomatic kernel** is reachable where unconditioned soundness is not. Yield: **Control Kernel v1.0→v1.1** (`A` demoted to a diagnostic; a control document is a **derivation**), a reduction arm (**8.5%** on a ruling, **68.6%** on a package), the first kernel-sound control + a **defect twin with ledger ground truth**, and a **discrimination gate**. **Trial 04 = CONTROL VOID:** two readers, two different real defects in my control. The one that matters is mine — draft 3's "fix" **concealed** a defect instead of closing it. Unplanned real yield: the **first instrument for Constraint 6's own falsifier** — jurist **4/6**, Fool **0/6**, no overlap. **PULLING THREAD: CONTROL-A v2**, parked deliberately for distance, not deferred.
