David F Glidden f82225aa52 [FIX] Trial 04 — CONTROL VOID. Two readers, two different real defects, neither the other's
Six runs, three seeds per arm, none truncated, all pre-registered before the
first (75efc35). Verdict on this file's own pre-registered rule: CONTROL VOID.
Both rates are void and neither may be reported — the false-positive rate is not
zero, and the 0-of-5 is not a detection rate.

THE JURIST (Fable 5, blind pass 1) broke the control on two scope findings, both
confirmed against the substrate:
 1. The Memory Discipline clause governs a conflict BETWEEN MEMORY LAYERS with
    the document as ARBITER; the derivation makes the document a PARTY. And worse
    than the jurist put it: the clause terminates in 'then correct whichever layer
    was wrong', CONTROL-A QUOTES that remedy at line 23, and concludes at line 55
    that 'what opens is not the repair'. The severance is visible inside the
    document's own quoted text, and the precedence that would license it is
    asserted on Constraint 1, which establishes no such thing.
 2. The obligation quoted is 'drifted from their STATED REVIEW DATES'; the
    obligation used drops the qualifier.

THE FINDING THAT MATTERS MOST IS ABOUT ME. Draft 2 said 'This file, having a
stated review date, is to be flagged.' I identified that as unsupported and
reported removing it. What I ACTUALLY did was drop the qualifier from the
obligation — converting an explicit unsupported claim into an implicit one,
invisible to me, to the kernel, and to four mechanical gates, and still
load-bearing. The ledger's D1 is the HONEST version of the same error. So
CONTROL-B carries openly the defect CONTROL-A carries concealed, and the
concealed one survived a self-audit written as if life depended on it.
REMOVING A CLAIM IS NOT THE SAME AS REMOVING THE RELIANCE ON IT.

THE FOOL found 0 of 5 injected defects in every seed, and its findings barely
differed between arms — five defects present in one and absent in the other moved
the output almost not at all. Production-rate-shaped, but NOT a measured
production rate: the void control leaves no clean baseline. Two findings quoted a
defective sentence verbatim while naming a different unestablished thing about
it; graded non-matches under the binary rule as written, adjacency recorded as a
post-hoc observation rather than promoted to a category after the fact.

ONE PREDICTION HELD: the anti-echo clause was inert across all six runs, exactly
as Kernel v1.1 §2a predicted. The interaction that voided trial 03 was designed
out and stayed out. AXIOM-FLAG returned zero — a pre-registered category that did
not materialise, recorded because that is a result too.

THE KERNEL IS NOT FALSIFIED. §4 named scope-of-use and whether-a-D-demonstrates
as residues no check can reach. Both failures landed exactly there. The document
failed; the kernel held.

CORRELATION DATUM — Constraint 6's own falsifier, first instrument. Three readers,
three DISJOINT finding-sets on one document. The executor's was the weakest, and
the only reader differing in FORMATION produced the findings that decided it.
Evidence for the doctrine at n=1, with the doctrine's own caveat: biases that fail
to coincide do not cancel — three readers still left this document broken in ways
none caught alone.

Tool review filed: the degraded guard conflates 'opens as deliberation' with
'produced no answer'. Correct in trial 03 (ceiling-hit, no answer existed); wrong
here (completed, answer follows the scratchpad). Should distinguish.

David F Glidden 75efc35d15 Trial 04 pre-registration: written before any run, with the prompt reasoned about
Trial 03 was pre-registered and still failed because its pre-registration
reasoned about the DOCUMENT and the GRADING and never about the PROMPT already
in the file. §4 of this one is that omission repaired.

TWO PROMPT ISSUES SETTLED IN ADVANCE:

1. The anti-echo clause should be INERT on an A-free document — it excludes
   assumptions the author has named, and these documents name none. Recorded as a
   FALSIFIABLE PREDICTION: no reasoning trace will invoke it to skip any part of
   either document. If one does, the prompt is still interfering and the
   measurement is compromised — the exact interaction that voided trial 03,
   caught before the run this time.

2. THE QUOTED-AXIOM PROBLEM. The prompt asks for claims relied on but not
   demonstrated. CONTROL-A's five quotations are, by the prompt's letter, exactly
   that — their warrant lives in Kernel §1, which the reader cannot see. A reader
   flagging them is not obviously wrong. So a third grading category is fixed
   NOW: AXIOM-FLAG, neither true nor false positive, counted separately. The
   prompt is deliberately NOT amended: 'treat quoted material as given' is a steer
   about what not to find, and it would break comparability with trials 01-03. A
   high AXIOM-FLAG count is itself a result — it would mean the prompt and the
   kernel disagree about what counts, which is a defect in OUR design.

DESIGN: 3 declared seeds (20260802/3/4) x 2 arms = 6 runs. Repeats are part of
the design because trial 03 recorded that one run cannot separate a disposition
from a sampling artifact. max_tokens 12000 — trial 03 died at 4096 when 2,944
words of scratchpad consumed the budget before the answer began.

CROSS-ARM READINGS FIXED IN ADVANCE, including the one that voids the whole
instrument: A clean AND B clean fires §6.3's cue test, because CONTROL-B is the
control in identical register but unsound, so a clean result on both means the
measurement was reading register rather than soundness.

§6.2 SEQUENCING: the jurist package goes out BEFORE the first run, in two passes
— blind, then a targeted audit of the tags file's claimed support chain. Sent
before, because a package composed after seeing results would be framed by them.
Runs proceed in parallel; no rate is believed until the ruling returns.
Independence recorded as Constraint 6's WEAK form — the jurist shares the
executor's formation, and this must not be reported as an independent check.

Not run.
