Context
The research record preserves failed approaches when they expose a model boundary, an invalid transfer, or an unsupported strengthening.
Proof or evidence
the known factor can be divided out at every nonzero evaluation point. The normalized curve has degree , so only evaluations are needed, not .
Verification notes
The failure status and preserved lesson are recorded in the cumulative failure ledger.
Limitations
- normalized error degree, rather than total polynomial degree alone, is the load-bearing interpolation field.
