R12 VAMT v3 Review Result

Decision: bounded symbolic mechanics GO; R12 theory, neural source, fitting, H100, autonomous reasoning, and primitive novelty NO-GO.

Frozen tuple

The report's embedded payload SHA-256 is 15c7a84bdfe882daab4efd73f2c5a320b3f20ee86414c6b71e29a48469ef39c8.

Mechanics review

Independent exact-byte review regenerated the report byte for byte under two PYTHONHASHSEED values, passed all 17 tests, Ruff, and py_compile, and found no blocking, high, or medium source defect. The board executes 152 complete programs, 20,672 executor cycles, 2,584 serializer cycles, 32 negative subtractions, every eight-slot missing-HALT phase, all 400 executor contexts, and all 40 serializer contexts. Candidate/reference poison tests fail as required.

The independent resource audit reconciled all 64 equations:

• 246 retained state bits, 31 packed bytes, and 53 byte-addressed bytes;
• 187,332 added parameters and 125,268,996 total parameters;
• 6,520 target/context bits;
• 20,402,304 nominal MACs.

Three low-severity boundaries remain: several JSON evidence fields are declarative rather than mechanically derived; the negative-SUB count is enforced by the full test suite rather than the report pass alone; and non-uint8 endpoint types raise before structural validation. None invalidates the declared bounded uint8 mechanics board.

Theory review

The separate theory review returned NO-GO for R12 advancement. The machine does not define one uniform late-query/asymptotic object, and the compiler board uses host-constructed programs rather than testing learned compilation. The finite program set omits several declared boundary families, source length is absent from retained state, post-HALT sentinels exceed the packed domain, and the full resource vector omits base inference, masking, validation, writes, training examples, oracle generation, and training FLOPs.

The fixed digit permutation is isomorphic to a vocabulary-aligned Pointer/Mealy control. That rejects primitive novelty. A possible optimization or data-efficiency hypothesis requires a new resource-complete preregistration and matched controls; no authority transfers automatically from this mechanics pass.
