Context
The research record preserves failed approaches when they expose a model boundary, an invalid transfer, or an unsupported strengthening.
Proof or evidence
explicit gates break raw identities at recursive seams. Removing them lowers the fixed-scalar count from 15552 to 11952 at the base, but raw wires may then persist and accumulate consumers across levels.
Verification notes
The failure status and preserved lesson are recorded in the cumulative failure ledger.
Limitations
- apparently trivial coefficient compilation choices are load-bearing for fan-out and must remain in the receipt.
