R12 Sparse-Law Constraint-Intersection Preregistration

Diagnosis

Direct attention, learned generators, and supervised microcode all compress a set of individually necessary demonstrations into an action summary before predicting a law. The sparse board was constructed so that every retained record eliminates at least one otherwise-valid hypothesis. Mean compression does not preserve that logical conjunction.

Treatment

The treatment keeps every record as an independent compatibility factor. A learned byte encoder predicts only whether the first or second number is the source. A fixed internal program bank evaluates every observation against every finite-domain program in parallel. Program energy is the sum of exact record compatibilities; a high-temperature posterior emits a complete transition distribution. Query execution occurs only from the sealed packet after source bytes are discarded.

This is architecture-native tensor computation: candidate inference calls no host parser, callback, solver, oracle, search routine, or verifier. It is also an exhaustive fixed-ontology prior equivalent in semantics to finite version-space elimination. A positive result is therefore bounded law identification, not open-ended program discovery or general reasoning.

Frozen Controls

The board, map partition, optimization budget, source-deletion boundary, and query executor remain unchanged. Same-weight controls negate source direction, shift observation values, or zero all observation compatibility.

Gates

Continue only if one frozen seed:

  • reaches at least 95% development transition accuracy;
  • produces at least 57/60 complete unseen maps;
  • reaches at least 54/60 exact queries;
  • beats every same-weight control by at least 45 exact queries;
  • has zero training/development action-map overlap; and
  • keeps the complete conceptual system below 200M parameters.

A pass authorizes an open-ontology falsifier. It does not authorize a native reasoning claim because the complete operation library is built into the architecture.

Frozen Outcome

Job 704761 reached 60/60 complete unseen maps and 60/60 exact queries with 100% transition accuracy and zero action-map overlap. Shifted targets scored 1/60 and zeroed observations 0/60. Direction negation scored 20/60, so the frozen 45-query margin misses by five.

An exact inverse-law audit reproduces all 20 direction-control answers. The maximum possible margin on this frozen board is therefore 40, making the preregistered 45 margin unattainable even for perfect treatment. Preserve the gate miss; classify the experiment as an exact bounded capability result with a defective promotion criterion. Full evidence: R12_SPARSE_LAW_CONSTRAINT_INTERSECTION_RESULT.md.
