Kill Switches

Armed at lock, on the author’s word, and entered in the registry at v5.31. Each names a counterexample that would keep the picture and kill the claim. Each is written so that a reader can say what would exhibit it. KS-GLASS.3 carries the one frozen prediction (§4).

KS-GLASS.1 — The operator is sand

Claim. Every observer is the operator held as a configuration of the same grains it reads. Every reading is a coupling executing.

Test. A reading exhibited with no second grain: a record produced by half an event. Or a reading configuration exhibited whose capacity to couple is not the grain’s (not α).

Status. LIVE — STRUCTURAL.

Recovery. The reading of §1 fails. §§5–6 fall with it.

KS-GLASS.2 — The pupil

Claim. No site can read the grain in its own aperture at the instant of executing. The unreadable now is the +1×ε.

Test. Two grains shown uncoupled at one now — then the unreadable now is not the one +1×ε. Or a reading shown that does not pass the neck — then the pupil is not the neck’s grain. Or a site shown to read its own current reading: a record read before it has held.

Status. LIVE — STRUCTURAL.

Recovery. On the first, AP50 §8 fails and the identification is withdrawn. On the second, §5’s third premise fails with it. On the third, the first premise fails and the +3 ruling with it. Chapter 4’s pupil stands as it was, without its reason in the axiom.

KS-GLASS.3 — The shape

Claim. The six constraints are the same at every site and every tick. Only the reading is relative to position. Carries P-GLASS.1: no variation of α across the record history.

Test. A constraint shown to depend on the site’s position in the record history. A confirmed variation of α(0) with place or epoch, at the corpus’s own bar for dead, by two independent methods, standing after the systematics have been reviewed.

Status. LIVE — STRUCTURAL; the prediction frozen at lock.

Recovery. Universality fails. §4’s first consequence is withdrawn. P-GLASS.1 dies and is shown. AP50 §3’s sorting stands or falls on its own.
