feat(pmu): stranger-recompute — 'recompute the verdict yourself' (npm run prove) The whole pitch rests on the receipt being a DECIDABLE, reproducible function of the commit — not a number you trust our box for. prove-recompute.mjs is what an external party runs: (1) VERIFY the published signal's ed25519 attestation (authentic + untampered), (2) INDEPENDENTLY RECOMPUTE the signal from the commit and show the decidable anchors — lattice coordinate, σ, Δ — come out IDENTICAL. Signature verifies + recompute matches = the claim transferred from our hardware to theirs. No model in the path (lens-signal- emit is ~14ms deterministic on-chip walk). Recompute runs in an isolated LENS_SIGNALS_DIR (never the ledger). Proven on bf609f9a8: coord C2,A2 · σ 1.56 · Δ 0.6669 verifies + recomputes identically. Alias: npm run prove -- --commit <sha>.

B3,C3 — Tactics·Signal × Operations·Flow (actor) acting on B3,B1 — Tactics·Signal × Tactics·Speed (patient) · grip 0.750
actor seed B3,C3 — Broadcast signal bandwidth and message reach drive the flow throughput and delivery rate across the pipeline. Flow is the rate at which committed work crosses the finish line. Inventory accumulates upstream; flow is the only thing the customer pays for, and the only thing the operator can measure honestly. Movement is the irreversible delivery of value across the boundary. Anything stationary is cost; anything moving is either revenue, deferred revenue, or the exhaust of revenue not yet realized. Throughput dominates utilization. A ninety-nine-percent utilized system at low throughput pays the same wages as a fifty-percent utilized system at twice the throughput, but the second one ships the customer's order. Flow has a direction. Bidirectional flow is two flows, each measured separately; calling them a single flow hides the chokepoint and the chokepoint is where the leverage lives. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Every message carries provenance. The sender's history is half the message's weight; an unknown sender pays in attention what a known sender pays in seconds saved.
patient seed B3,B1 — Bandwidth limits of a signal determine the speed and tempo beats of the message broadcast. Signal-to-noise is the inverse cube of bandwidth — narrow the channel, the message arrives; broaden it, recipients tune out. The right channel is the one whose floor matches the message's importance. Latency is the price of a missed beat. Every hundred milliseconds of round-trip turns a parallel race into a stalemate, because the first arrival sets the rules the second arrival has to honor. A broadcast that addresses everyone addresses no one. Precision over reach until the address is calibrated; only then does scale convert prospects into recipients rather than into unsubscribes. Throughput compounds: doubling the rate doubles the surface area where serendipity can hit. A pipeline at twice the velocity is not twice as productive — it is exponentially more lucky. Repetition is the cost of being heard. Three sends to one recipient beats one send to three; the first send announces, the second send is heard, the third send is remembered. Time-to-first-byte is the only number the operator feels at the wheel. Optimize the felt latency before the raw throughput; the operator's grip on the loop is what drives the loop forward. Every message carries provenance. The sender's history is half the message's weight; an unknown sender pays in attention what a known sender pays in seconds saved. Velocity is irreversible. A delivery sent fast cannot be unsent slow; a release deployed cannot be undeployed at the same speed it was deployed. Speed buys position, and position is harder to surrender than to occupy.

SHAPE-MATCH σ = -0.52 — the real intent↔reality definer walk vs random-reality (actual 0.0356 vs random 0.054). >0 = the walk distinguishes real alignment from noise; aggregate over independent walks → the divergent series.

feat(pmu): stranger-recompute — 'recompute the verdict yourself' (npm run prove) The whole pitch rests on the receipt being a DECIDABLE, reproducible function of the commit — not a number you trust our box for. prove-recompute.mjs is what an external party runs: (1) VERIFY the published signal's ed25519 attestation (authentic + untampered), (2) INDEPENDENTLY RECOMPUTE the signal from the commit and show the decidable anchors — lattice coordinate, σ, Δ — come out IDENTICAL. Signature verifies + recompute matches = the claim transferred from our hardware to theirs. No model in the path (lens-signal- emit is ~14ms deterministic on-chip walk). Recompute runs in an isolated LENS_SIGNALS_DIR (never the ledger). Proven on bf609f9a8: coord C2,A2 · σ 1.56 · Δ 0.6669 verifies + recomputes identically. Alias: npm run prove -- --commit <sha>.

③ the numbers, contextualized — value · band · verdict · percentile · what it leads to
shape-match σ · -0.52 noise p30 of last 10
below zero — this read is noise, not a measurement → do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
good looks like: positive on an aligned commit (phantom P1: sigmaPositive) · ≥6 clears the trust floor · ≥8.5 verified-reef · 0–3 = panel story not yet evidence
tolerance (edge cells) · 537 green · 442 amber · 0 red · off-lane 16% bleeding p30 of last 10
some reality fired outside the declared lanes — amber bleed, below the alarm flip → glance at the TOLERANCE panel — amber clusters show where reality leaned out
good looks like: red ≈ 0 and orthogonal off-lane < 10% on an in-lane commit (phantom P1: redZero, offPctBelow 10) — a few amber is normal bleed
pre-walk overlap · 4% mostly-disjoint p35 of last 10
docs and code light different cells — normal for a code-heavy commit; the WALK is what bridges them → nothing to do — judge alignment by σ and the walk panels, not this raw overlap
good looks like: green overlap WITHOUT being a copy — near-100% is self-similarity (a docs-only read), not alignment
drift (XOR %) · 0.743% of compared cells disagree close p30 of last 10
intent and reality mostly agree cell-for-cell → nothing to chase
the walks (how the heatmaps were made) · intent 139 hops → ply 7 · reality 115 hops → ply 8 · 761ms inside-budget
both cascades ran to extinction inside the time budget — the read is complete · each hop = one real on-chip ballistic process; intent ended at A3,B2 · B1,B2 · B2,A3, reality at A2,B — the definers-of-definers the recursion concentrated on → the ply story in the panels is complete
good looks like: both sides finish inside the 2500ms budget; clouds concentrate at block-heads (the ShortLex-ascending follow), early plies heavy, deep plies faint
lattice fill · intent 1556/20736 (7.5%) · reality 979/20736 (4.7%) walkable
a real, walkable lattice (~4% is the density target) — the walk had ground to cover → nothing to do
the ladder — what's climbing · weakest link first
→ weakest · intersection-specific words/tile (median) · 5 (over 144 tiles) → target 70 parent-echo distance 0.93 · author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
σ_drift (commit panel, median last 10 non-docs-only) · -0.42 (n=10) → target 6 noise distance 1 · do not act on the panels — on a docs-only commit this is expected; otherwise fix the ingest and re-run
σ_response pass count · 32/144 → target 144 thin distance 0.78 · raise seed richness (the reef GDD loop) — pass count follows intersection-specific words
σ_localize (latest targeted edit) · 0.61 @ B3,B3 → target 6 chance distance 0.9 · iterate the ingest until the target zone owns its own edit — the brain-surgeon read does not yet hold
sweep coverage (deterministic top-rank hits) · 23/46 → target 46 majority distance 0.5 · chase the missing tiles in the sweep — each convert lifts σ_panel directly
seed orthogonality (distinct openings) · 143/144 → target 144 converging distance 0.01 · fix the few shared openings — tile-dump-inspect names them
σ_panel (joint rank certainty) · 10.63 → target 6 beyond-doubt distance 0 · cite the distribution-level claim (carry the independence caveat)
next move (picked by the system, not session memory): intersection-specific words/tile (median) is furthest from target weighted by leverage (5 (over 144 tiles) vs target 70 → distance 0.93 × leverage 1 = 0.93) — author intersection-specific seeds (what does B,A3 say that NEITHER parent says alone?) — the single highest-leverage number in the system
