# Dated note beside the registration of G — issued 21 September 2026: there is no fork

**The 420 Code · Studio G · a supersession note; the frozen registration is not edited**

The registration of 4 September 2026, *the gravitational constant, realised — and the fork (KS-CCC.3)*, is frozen and stands beside this note unchanged, with its script, `verify_family.py`.

## 1. The ruling

The author, 21 September 2026: **AP28's first reading of G was wrong.**

It read the gravitational coupling as provisioned — α²¹ (1 + 1/π) · ℏc / mₑ² = 6.7206 × 10⁻¹¹, +0.69% — and it omitted the arena's holding of the break. AP44 found the omission in the logic and priced it: the realised coupling is the provisioned coupling held once, divided by (1 + α). AP50 §6 reads that factor by rule.

**The realised value, 6.6719 × 10⁻¹¹, is the prediction of G. AP28's first reading is withdrawn, superseded by it, and kept on the record, dated.** There is one value of G, and one set of conditions under which it dies.

## 2. What this withdraws from the registration

- **§1, "It stands as the structural value."** Withdrawn. It stands as the first reading, superseded.
- **§4.1, the fork.** "Convergence upward toward 6.7206 kills the commitment and revives AP28's leakage candidate in full." The revival is withdrawn: there is nothing to revive. Convergence of the adjusted G upward toward 6.7206 kills the prediction of G outright, with no fallback.
- **§4.2, KS-CCC.4a.** "A common apparatus leakage term of order 6,900 ppm … Candidate 1 is confirmed and the commitment withdrawn." Restated: such a term would put the true G near 6.72, and it would kill the realised value. It confirms nothing.
- **§4.3, KS-R.7.** The one-per-cent bar governs one value now, the realised one.

## 3. What stands

The registered value, 6.6719 × 10⁻¹¹, and every condition that tests it. KS-CCC.3's direction test stands: as apparatus systematics resolve, the adjusted G is expected to migrate downward toward 6.672 × 10⁻¹¹, and stability at 6.6743 as systematics close supports the null. The −0.036% is reported open, as the registration reports it. KS-CCC.1 stands guard on the order of events behind the (1 + α): the choices that entered it are disclosed, with their eliminations, on the public record (PROV-CCC.1–6).

## 4. What the first reading shows

The first reading stood on the wall at +0.69% — 309σ on CODATA's bar, outside every laboratory determination — until AP44 locked on 11 August 2026. The omission was found in the logic: the same held distinction the neutron's fired row exposed, priced at the arena. A fitter does not publish a 0.69% miss and leave it standing. The correction is dated, its history is disclosed, and the first reading stays on the record beside it, where the two corpses stay.

*Ruled by the author, 21 September 2026. The registry carries KS-CCC.3's fork clause and KS-R.7's two values until its next version; this note governs the pages until then. Frozen files are never edited; corrections supersede, dated, in the open.*
