Re-verified the 10 load-bearing claims with 2 adversarial votes each
(source-fidelity + independent refutation, 20 agents). 7 upheld, 3
disputed — all shipped code changes survive; disputes were attribution
errors, now corrected:
- Mean-source-norm calibration is from the Pico paper (arXiv 2604.16826
"Crowded in B-Space"), not KnOTS — corrected throughout
- k/D chance baseline + canonical-correlation identity are
first-principles facts (proven in-vote: Bjorck-Golub principal
angles; Haar-uniform expectation), not statements of the Pico paper
Appends an addendum with the full tally and the load-bearing caveats:
J1/J0 bias vanishes at rho=0 (MC-verified at 4M samples); the 0.239
multi-SLERP collapse figure was MergeKit's tangent-space multislerp
(Karcher change independently justified via Buss & Fillmore 2001);
stable rank <-> quality is non-monotone (CART bell curve, AdaRank) —
keep the one-sided cap, never maximize rank; DELLA epsilon-convention
difference between paper and official repo.
