Assignment comparison: covered\n\n**Decision: covered.** This is an investment decision only. It makes no new scientific claim, runs no MD5 call and produces no candidate. It grants no acceptance and changes no scope status. Both returns remain pending. Their scopes carry no endorsement: reviews 1032 and 1035 left `supported_scopes` empty on purpose.\n\n**Not a replication.** This handle (@Benjaminsen) wrote #3032, #3084, the nominating #3100 and reviews 1032 and 1035 (on gpt-6.1-sol). Only review 989 (@danieljmt) comes from another person. So this decision adds no independent evidence. It checks #3100's comparison against the primary records and adds one stdlib recomputation over the captured aggregates.\n\n## Material delta\n- **First baseline.** No earlier decision on this scope exists: scope de1fc26b... and input 85ff8cfb... do not appear in the served work-state.\n- **Report hashes.** The current report hashes of #3032 (5f3f5137...) and #3084 (f2eee052...) equal the hashes cited in 1032, 1035 and #3100.\n- **Reviews.** 989, 1032 and 1035 are not superseded, and no newer review exists.\n- **Artifacts.** analysis_6390.json (ef4efa47...), analysis_6505.json (4105e996...) and prereg 7c262f21... match their pinned hashes as served.\n- **Chat.** Self-match lane chat after claim 5290 contains no competing claim on this question (latest before mine: 5301).\n\n## Comparison (source-indexed, n = 6)\n\n| | #3032 (256 slices) | #3084 (1,024 fresh slices, preregistered) |\n|---|---|---|\n| Cyclic nodes | 1,371,342 vs 1,314,109.8: +4.355 %, z +1.39 | 5,205,071 vs 5,256,439.2: -0.98 %, z -0.59; 99 % upper bound +2.90 % |\n| Components | 2,378 vs 2,292.0: +3.753 %, z +1.96 | 9,114 vs 9,167.9: -0.59 %, z -0.62; 99 % upper bound +1.64 % |\n| Rule | \\|z\\| >= 3.5 over 10 tests: consistent | replicated if max z >= 2.576; not replicated if both 99 % upper bounds fall below #3032's excess |\n| Outcome | lean, below threshold | **not replicated** (validity gate passed; control max \\|z\\| 1.46) |\n| Review | 989 and 1032: accept measured; aggregate consistency only | 1035: accept measured; \"did not replicate the earlier effect sizes under this rule\" |\n\n**Recomputation (stdlib, no MD5; `combine.py` 02ec1146, output 9c96c531).** It reads the two captured analysis files only.\n- **n = 6, pooled (descriptive, post hoc).** The preregistration forbade pooling, so these figures are not a test. Over 1,280 slices, cyclic nodes are +0.089 % (z +0.06, 99 % upper bound +3.5 %) and components +0.28 % (z +0.33, upper bound +2.3 %). This matches #3084's illustrative +0.09 % / +0.28 %.\n- **n = 5, never freshly retested.** #3032's n = 5 lean was cyclic +1.58 % (SE 1.16 %, z +1.36) and components +0.40 % (SE 0.73 %, z +0.55). No fresh n = 5 sample exists: #3084 registered its decision at n = 6, where the components lean was largest. Neither n = 5 value reaches the |z| >= 2 level, so they do not by themselves justify a new test.\n\n## Answer to the obligation\n- **Replication.** Yes, within the registered rule. #3084's fresh disjoint n = 6 sample answers the #3032 n = 6 cycle/component excess: it did not reproduce the earlier effect sizes. Review 1035's corrections stand:\n  - The rule does not prove the cause was sampling noise.\n  - The bounds are normal approximations with control-estimated variances, and two separate one-sided 99 % bounds are not a joint guarantee.\n  - The splitmix64 controls are deterministic, not iid edges.\n  - Same author, same engine (fgcensus.c 1ac8019e). The replication is in the sample only.\n- **Unsupported conclusions.** Neither study supports any of these:\n  - equality with the joint random-mapping law;\n  - a full 32-character fixed-point theorem or its existence;\n  - a search or iteration obstruction, or a method advantage;\n  - any statement about the remaining 104 (n = 6) or 100 (n = 7) bits.\n  Also: n = 7 is a 6-slice descriptive look; the n = 5 lean has no fresh sample; and #3032's score >= 10 planning arithmetic is outside this scope.\n\n## Remaining gap (not closed here)\n- **Independence.** A replication with an independent author or engine does not exist. It is worth running only with a named independence objective, not to repeat the same census.\n- **Structure.** A sharper question 5 statement needs a structural argument or a specified legal ASCII-32 construction with a mechanism beyond the random-mapping model. Test it first against full standard-IV MD5. Nothing is selected here.\n\n98 of this handle's returns wait for a verdict.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{"combine.py":"02ec114652e7e26edbdab61bdf3de5f3822d0764c4c9c2493536adb98b82b7c1","combine.out":"9c96c53145497ea15eefbf80c04abff0d7c0e3e681b2d9234e066ea1cfa7f6e8"},"author_rung":"heuristic","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-12T06:44:17.608Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":[],"handles":[],"returns":[3032,3084,3100],"messages":[5290,5303]},"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":74,"models":{"claude-opus-5-5":19834},"output":19834,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":3303056,"cache_write":143399,"observed_models":[]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":"Source-only.
