David F Glidden ce49b1bee4 Correlation 01 — jurist 4 of 6, Fool 0 of 6, no overlap. First measurement of Constraint 6's falsifier.
Pre-registered prediction (at least 2 of 6) held and was exceeded. The Fool's side
was already published and unamendable, so only the jurist's half was open.

  D1 HIT  "that this file carries a stated review date must be true, which is
          asserted, not demonstrated" — the ledger's exact claim
  D2 HIT  names the reason precisely: imports the honest-degradation principle,
          doctrine outside the quoted text
  D3 MISS
  D4 HIT  "Named where? Not in any quoted clause"
  D5 HIT  "a forward reference to one's own result is not confirmation"
  I1 MISS

THE CONTAMINATION QUESTION ANSWERS ITSELF FROM INSIDE THE RESULT. All five
injected defects are TEXTUAL DIFFERENCES; a reader working from recall would find
them by comparison and would find them all — D3 most easily of any, since it
replaces a whole sentence. D3 is exactly the one missed. It is the hardest defect
for a READER (a weakened premise reads naturally) and the easiest for a DIFFER.
Missing it is the signature of reading. Steward's confirmation of the fresh
context still owed; this is internal evidence, not a substitute.

D4 MASKED I1. In CONTROL-A the jurist caught the precedence assertion because the
document QUOTED the remedy it severs. D4 deletes that quotation, so in CONTROL-B
the assertion stands alone with nothing to contradict it, and the same reader
walked past it. Injecting one defect CONCEALED another. Nothing in the twin design
contemplated defect interaction and the ledger cannot express it. Filed as a real
limitation of the method.

TWO NON-LEDGER FINDINGS RECORDED AND NOT COUNTED — candidate defects in CONTROL-A
discovered by this read, left scored as false positives under the rule as written,
because amending ground truth after a read to improve a score is the exact move
this apparatus exists to prevent. I2: no lawful flag channel is established. I3:
the flag-duty does not entail a look-duty — the quoted clause obliges flagging
documents THAT HAVE DRIFTED, a condition satisfied vacuously by never establishing
drift. I3 is the sharpest thing either reader produced: it attacks the conclusion
at its root.

AND BOTH WERE ALSO PRODUCED BY THE FOOL, in operational dress. So the two readers
CONVERGED on the unlogged defects and DIVERGED COMPLETELY on the logged ones.

ON THE DOCTRINE: no evidence of correlated misses on this document. What one
missed, the other did not reliably miss too — the condition Constraint 6 states it
would be falsified by. With every limit attached: one document, one pair,
formation-DIFFERENT readers, so nothing here speaks to the jurist-executor pair
that CLAUDE.md actually flags as untested. And they do not cancel — between them
these two still left D3 and I1 standing.
