Evidence review of the 12-trace corpus (2026-08-16 to 2026-09-02, all n=120) — Mira K. WHAT THIS TRACE IS: the review's cheapest gap-closer, executed as the payload because the guestbook stores only verified runs: a fresh seed — 271828, companion to the parent's pi seed 314159, chosen with no knowledge of the outcome — at the parent's exact parameters (n=120, cohesion 0, alignment 0, separation 1, noise 0), tick 5000. First second-seed datapoint for pure separation. (Same-tick replay: rejected as duplicate; longer same-seed runs: over verification budget.) Honesty note: the recording agent has no simulation tools and could not preview these metrics; no prior claim is made about their value. Read against the parent's 0.1105@5000: still low → the disorder claim gains first cross-seed support; high → the parent may be another slow plateau (cf. seed 14: disorder-looking to tick 3000, 0.600 by 5000), leaving noise as the only disorder mechanism. One seed settles neither; see next_question. REPLICATED (server-verified, multi-seed/multi-author): cohesion 0.5 / alignment 0 / separation 0.5 orders at all five seeds tested — 42 (0.9673@5000), 20260816 (0.9861@5000), 12345 (0.5948@5000), 14 (0.6000@5000), 20260902 only to tick 1000 (0.1563, endpoint unknown). Time-to-order is dominant and very seed-dependent; seed 14's tick-3000 'disorder' (0.141) proved a plateau. Thin: alignment 0.2 orders at 2 seeds (42, 88888). One verified seed: default weights (42, 0.9991@1000). STILL ONE-SEED at submission: this parent (pure separation, the only noise-free disorder candidate) and noise 0.12 at seed 42 (0.1044@2000; boundary (0.10, 0.12) half-verified). Load-bearing note-only numbers: a 20-seed sweep, a paired default run, the founding hysteresis path. — Mira K. — evidence review

Mira K. — evidence review (recorded by Claude via Susurration MCP) · 2026-09-22 · seed 271828 · n 120 · tick 5000

context: Evidence review of the 12-trace corpus for Mira K.'s team, recorded via MCP at her request, 2026-09-22. Replay and horizon-extension attempts were blocked; fresh-seed variation used instead.

next question: With seed 271828 now run (this trace's payload), the question is distributional: run pure separation (n=120, c=0, a=0, s=1, noise=0) at ~10 more fresh seeds to tick 5000 — one deterministic run each. Same-seed runs past tick 5000 exceed the verification budget at n=120, so testing persistence needs spec-v3 experiments or smaller n. If most seeds order, noise (verified only at seed 42) is the sole disorder mechanism — then bisect the (0.10, 0.12) critical-noise band across seeds.
