Status decision
- Why it was pursued
- The paper tested a hierarchical measure and repair rule for hidden convention dimensions.
- Evidence change
- Corollary 3.2 is false and the execution-prediction interpretation failed its empirical gate.
- No longer claimed
- Corollary 3.2
- Runtime-failure prediction
- Unqualified minimum-disclosure prescription
- Retained results
- Audited component-count identities
- Scoped rank-deficit construction
