> **SUPERSEDED.** This file was published for about an hour on 7 September 2026 and is superseded by the version above. Its notes carry the date **9 September 2026**, which was the date on the desk's draft and not the date the notes were appended. The ruling is explicit — *the date on each note is the date WC appends it* — and that date is 7 September 2026. Two of its notes also predate G's ruling on their text: AP30's item 10 did not carry C beside R, its item 11 did not carry the sentence on the now, and AP49's note did not carry the §0.2 pointer. It is kept, never deleted, because it was published: it is in Zenodo version 10.5281/zenodo.22646076, which is permanent.

# Republish AP30 — FINAL v1.0 · dated notes 7 and 9 September 2026

The locked body is untouched. The notes are appended after the section that closes the argument, which is where AP30's first five sit. Verified after the build: the source of record placed beside this note reproduces the new PDF paragraph for paragraph, and **every body sentence of the previous PDF is present in the new one** — 0 lost, checked sentence by sentence.

## The two published files, both kept

*Beside, never replaced* applies to the rendered PDF as well as the text.

**The outgoing digest is cited by:** `proofs/instruments/AP30/NOTE_REPUBLISH_2026-09-07.md`, `proofs/instruments/AP30/SOURCE_OF_RECORD.md`, `reports/sources-of-record-2026-09-07-v1-SUPERSEDED.md` — frozen files, not edited. The digest they cite resolves to the preserved file above, which is why it is kept at a stable path and not only in git history.

## The notes, for the record

> 9 September 2026. Seven further matters of record, from the first objections filed against this paper. None alters the body above.
>
> 6. §3's sentence “This maps exactly to U(3): 8 gluon generators + 1 colour singlet required for total confinement” is withdrawn. QCD is SU(3); the identification was wrong. The exchange-matrix count, 3 × 3 = 9, stands on its own argument.
>
> 7. §6 and §7 say each successive order is smaller by roughly α. AP49's chain gives the ratio as r = 16α/1836, about α/115; the sentence was wrong by two orders of magnitude and is superseded by AP49 §4.
>
> 8. §7 reads the residual after the O(α) term as ε itself, “not a missing term”. AP49 supplied the terms and summed the series; §7's reading is superseded by AP49, and the residual after all orders, −0.59σ, is claimed to mean nothing until it does.
>
> 9. §5's stated premises — 84 dimensional expressions, each leaking into 4π steradians — give 1/(336π), not the 1/(84π) the page prints; and 21α/(84π) = α/(4π) exactly, so the channel count cancels against the divisor. The first-order term stands as carried, at 5.30 parts per billion; §5's structural narrative for the divisor is withdrawn. The leakage lemma's form is the multiplier, (1 − x), one form everywhere in the corpus: a returned leak is not an expression and does not itself leak.
>
> 10. Lemma 1's ground “trace to different axiom subsets” is contradicted by §0.3, which traces Layers 2 and 3 both to S; that ground is withdrawn. The lemma stands on its other stated ground, the independence of the three degrees of freedom — capacity, locking, exchange — which is what KS-30.1 registers. R is absent from the static 1836 because the static sum is the record configured; R is the record held, and its cost is the dynamic series and the chain of holders (AP49). A record holds whether it is read now or ignored now: a keyboard is a configuration of records with a history, and in a furnace the records are held in a different configuration, written forward onto the same history. Reconfiguration is not unwriting.
>
> 11. The electron is the unit. Every ratio formula in this paper counts resistance above the minimal break, in units of it; the counting rule applies to composite records and is not applied to the unit — the knot does not count itself. This was implied in §1 and is now stated.
>
> 12. Dated note 4 is corrected: KS-NPP.3 is not retired. It tests the total against lattice QCD, and the total is consistent. The question it does not test — the corpus's α-dependence against the lattice QCD+QED decomposition of the neutron–proton difference (QCD +2.52 MeV, QED −1.00 MeV) and the proton's electromagnetic self-energy, where the corpus's terms are +4 keV and +78 keV — is booked as a declared debt, D-EM.1, and a registered switch, KS-30.5: the corpus owes the statement of what its α is relative to the electromagnetic coupling. Nothing fires on the totals.

*A locked body is never edited, replaced or removed — corrections go beside it by dated note. A lemma that must be rewritten becomes v2.0 with v1.0 kept beside it.*
