On-chip drift receipt

blog(cook): the physics of slop — watermarks require bad writing, the heuristic that broke on bytes, judgment to jurisdiction (v1, predictions committed first)

This is a live, recomputable drift receipt — the on-chip proof of where this commit's work landed (in its authorized domain, out of it, or unplaced), sealed with a signature anyone can verify. It is the same receipt shipped in the on-commit email, hosted here so the claim is checkable on the open web. The full receipt (attestation, density panel, full commit message) publishes at /commit/a5b097263/ shortly after the commit lands.

✅ DECIDABLE: WHERE this work landed is provable and re-runnable — recompute it yourself. WHETHER it is bug-free is UNDECIDABLE (Rice); we do not claim that.

tolerance panel for commit a5b097263 — blog(cook): the physics of slop — watermarks require bad writing, the heuristic that broke on bytes, judgment to jurisdiction (v1, predictions committed first) — Green in-lane · amber a little out · red drift. This is the same 144×144 tolerance panel emitted on commit, byte-identical on recompute.

Sufficient for: where it landed, re-runnable from the commit: same bytes, same hash. NOT sufficient for: whether the work was good, which is undecidable (Rice, 1953); nothing here claims it.
