## 1. The status event

> **KS-45.1 — H₀ = 74.3 ± 1.2 km/s/Mpc — FIRED, 3 September 2026.**

It fired on the corpus's own derived rate. AP48 (*The Assembly*) closes the
corpus's cosmology on one expansion rate, 67.45 km/s/Mpc, window 64.4–70.8
(`2026-09-04-H0-KS-ASM.1.md`). On the width KS-45.1 registered, 74.3 sits
(74.3 − 67.45) / 1.2 = 5.7σ from that rate; folding in the corpus's own window,
about two sigma. AP46 §9 had pre-registered on 2 September 2026 that if AP48
derived the standard age–rate relation, this switch or KS-STRETCH.3 would fire.
The age stands; this was the edge.

The disposition was ruled by the desk on the author's delegation and confirmed
in the author's own word the same day: *fired*. Two dispositions were open —
fired with erratum, or superseded by erratum unfired. The first was chosen for
one reason: the house's law is that nothing fired is repaired, and re-sizing the
width of a live switch after the corpus's own derivation has contradicted it,
then not counting the switch as fired, would be a repair.

The switch stays on the board as a corpse: shown, never repaired, never deleted.
The corpus's H₀ entry is now KS-ASM.1.

## 2. The erratum on the width

AP18 §5 tests the floor a₀ = C_S² · cH₀/(2π) against an empirical acceleration
scale quoted as 1.20 ± 0.02 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s², citing McGaugh et al. 2016 and Lelli
et al. 2017, and §§7–8 invert the relation to H₀ = 74.3 ± 1.2.

The ±0.02 is the random error alone. The sources cited give the scale as
1.20 ± 0.02 (random) ± 0.24 (systematic) × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s², the systematic arising
from the stellar mass-to-light ratios and the distances. Propagated, the floor's
inversion is **H₀ = 74.3 ± 14.9**, not ± 1.2. The relation cannot distinguish 67
from 74. The registration of 2026-08-02 said as much in its own §6 ("the ± 1.2 in
the registered value is the optimistic branch") and registered the sharp width
anyway; the sharp width is what fired.

What this changes, in order:

1. **KS-45 stands, live.** The coefficient a₀/(cH₀) = 0.1662 sits at 0.46σ
   against the sky's 0.183 ± 0.037 at H₀ = 67.45.
2. **The floor survives as a relation.** At 67.45 it gives 1.089 × 10⁻¹⁰ m/s²,
   9.2% below the scale and 0.46σ on the honest error; across the corpus's
   window it stays between 0.24σ and 0.67σ.
3. **The symbol.** AP18 writes its geometric correction factor
   2 ln(sec ½ + tan ½) ≈ 1.0445 as α; the symbol collides with the
   fine-structure constant. The site, the registry and the glossary write it
   C_S²; the papers follow at their next revision.
4. **Nothing in AP18's derivation of the form or the coefficient moves.** What
   moves is the width of one number and the name of one symbol.

## 3. The scoreboard line, re-read

The 2 August scoreboard recorded the Hubble line as a landing at 0.55σ against
the April 2026 distance-network value. That landing was an artefact of the
missing systematic. The line now reads: the corpus's H₀ is a closure at 67.45,
window 64.4–70.8, KS-ASM.1 live; the old line is shown fired.

Ø Predictions, the flagship book, printed both widths in its Part IV — "sharp at
2% and soft at 20%," 74 ± 15 at the soft level — and 67.45 sits inside the soft
one. The book is not edited: it becomes the record of what was wrong. The sharp
prediction fired; the soft one holds; the registration was the error.
