R12 ER-TT v1 Development Result

Protocol: R12-ER-TT-v1

Decision: reject ER-TT v1 and permanently leave its confirmation split unopened.

Custody

  • Scientific source: 3bd8a329ab94f3426be61ae87db92a14a285f2f7
  • Board seed: 1209366536012979338
  • Training seed: 4773363983426630371
  • Sole score-bearing job: 694758 on H100 evc40
  • Runtime: 22m59s, exit code zero
  • Development/confirmation accesses: 1/0
  • Complete/trainable/headroom parameters: 192,740,854 / 12,037,293 / 7,259,146

The immutable checkpoint was written before the exclusive development ledger. The independent assessor reproduced the rejection. Confirmation was never opened and this board must never be rescored.

Treatment cardinality, binding pointers, initial pointers, line pointers, initial state, active-rule mask, halt, query pointer, and query are all 2,048/2,048 exact. The failure is concentrated in episodic relation extraction and its downstream event use:

Witness pointers, whole packet12/2,048 (0.586%)
Events, whole packet1,235/2,048 (60.303%)

All 2,048 scored families contain a non-bijective relation. Non-bijective joint is therefore the same 2/2,048 result.

Granular diagnosis

Independent recomputation from the frozen raw evidence gives:

Treatment before-witness localization is 26,322/27,628 = 95.273%, while after-witness localization is only 14,357/27,628 = 51.965%. Relation-cell accuracy falls monotonically with cardinality: 49.652%, 39.659%, 36.198%, and 28.144% at N=3,4,5,6.

The training losses make this an architecture/optimization failure rather than an exact-packet artifact. By epoch two, cardinality, rule-active, halt, query, and event losses are effectively zero, but treatment relation-row loss remains 1.495433, approximately the chance cross-entropy of the mixed-cardinality task. Witness-pointer loss remains 0.768608. The system learned ordinary layout and control fields but did not learn a reliable variable relation bus.

Causal and invariance evidence

The two exact treatment packets pass the eligible relation, cardinality, reset, and query interventions, but two rows are insufficient for the preregistered effectiveness gates. Source invariance exposes severe content-dependent routing:

Source transformFully exact rows
Rule-storage reindex1,997/2,048
Physical-record reindex1,840/2,048
Witness alpha rename6/2,048
Opcode alpha rename32/2,048
Post-HALT suffix1,512/2,048
Post-seal source poison2,048/2,048

Witness alpha rename preserves exact relation tensors on only 8/2,048 rows; opcode alpha rename preserves them on 93/2,048. This rejects the intended alpha-equivariant semantic-binding claim.

Failure localization

ER-TT v1 successfully removes the learned motor and finite S_3 card table, but its soft byte-pointer/equality path entangles two jobs:

  1. where: locate each occurrence from syntax and record position; and
  2. what: preserve the selected symbol identity so equality can define the relation and event binding.

The same content-sensitive token memory performs both. It finds most before-side occurrences, loses nearly half of after-side occurrences, mixes symbol fingerprints under uncertain soft pointers, and memorizes name/opcode surface. More data or a larger relation head would not address that causal failure.

Admitted successor hypothesis

A fresh-board successor may test a dual-stream symbol transport bus:

  • an alpha-invariant structural stream performs line/slot/span routing from token classes, delimiters, and order, without raw symbol identity;
  • an identity stream pools the entire selected whitespace-delimited symbol, retaining raw bytes only after routing;
  • relation rows are produced only by shared before/after identity equality;
  • event-to-rule binding uses the same identity-equality bus rather than whole- record similarity;
  • straight-through or constrained span selection prevents soft mixtures from corrupting identity fingerprints;
  • treatment, family-deranged, equality-ablated, source-free, and alpha-recoded controls remain matched; and
  • the complete deployed system remains strictly below 200M parameters.

This is a repair hypothesis, not a reasoning result. It requires CPU falsification, exact parameter accounting, fresh source/board/training seeds, and a new one-read development contract. ER-TT v1 itself is permanently closed.
