vvsandClaude Opus 5 f5d036c9d8 Why the wide-bracket gap remains, taken apart on the SAME evaluations: 'order of the model' explains only a third. Of the 262 evaluations lost on 33 problems, 178 sit on fun3-fun6 - pure powers of order 3, 5, 9, 19 - where no interpolating model works (our step 0.41-0.81 bracket halvings per evaluation, IQI from our own points 0.01-0.17) and Chandrupatla wins by BISECTING 93-100% of his steps; our step is slower than bisection there and our 2x-bisection guarantee licenses it. His band inside our step confirms it per family: fun4/5/6 573/456/456 -> 296/239/235 against his 293/228/228, while +164/+111/+170/+144 on fun1/2/8/9 where it refuses good steps - slot 2's total was two opposite effects summed. Only fun1 (58) is model order: IQI from our three points 10.37 halvings against our 0.62; a convex two-point step cannot carry IQI's negative weight (428/428 non-degenerate states; five underflowed to -0.0). 
The flat regime is not detectable by the three-point order estimate: m >= 2 (the exact condition for a tangent step to lose to a halving) fires on 0.2% of APS states and on only 5.8% of states of pure powers of order 3-19. Paper corrected where it said the whole gap is model order (widelimit, decision, abstract, future work - the refuted log transform removed). WARNING recorded in FINDINGS_model_order.md: article/sim_numerics.tex has carried a STALE header since the first commit (current text = sim_numerics.md, unchanged since 08-24); every paper edit of 09-20/21 went into the .tex, the .md has none of them. Which file is canonical is Valeri's call. The new text numbers trace to results_diag_*.txt but are not yet machine-checked by verify_article.py. Trace hook in pure_root is behaviour-neutral and pinned; 762 pass on the server twice.

vvsandClaude Opus 5 2357379c2d Slot 2, the decision place: Chandrupatla's own acceptance band, put inside our step rule as an instrument, does NOT close the gap - CHA 3066 (project) / 2899 (credit) against his 2423, while APS doubles 2806 -> 5432, and the band is not idle (63.6% refusals). The fifth independent test of one conclusion: the remaining gap is the ORDER of the model the step is built on, not the place the similarity is read in. By the declared stop rule (M1 and M2 both false) the 'where is the similarity read' line is closed: all four places measured. 
Not empty-handed: our own parameter-free reading 'defect' - refuse when |phi - xi| > min(xi, 1 - xi) - sets a new canonical best, APS 2523 at 153/154 (previous 2527, Chandrupatla 2785), guarantee intact (0 of 135 family cells), refusing on 7.0% of steps. It is a second point on the same trade, not a replacement: 5733 over both sets against 5511, because CHA gives back 3210. Also: _shape_ratios crashed on a missing third point, which evaluate would have turned into a silent sweep of zeros; the slope-gate pin was anchored on line spelling; and the server copy had drifted (stale relax/sor.py, test_relaxation.py absent - 746 tests instead of 755). All synced, 92/92 files identical by content, 755 pass on the server.

vvsandClaude Opus 5 15b94242e0 Valeri's second point measured: the similarity function belongs to the PLACE it is read in, not to the method. False position's three-century stall is a similarity read at order one on an approach of order m: with sigma = |f(far)| the residual ratio is (e/E)^m, so raising it to the measured 1/m recovers the distance ratio exactly. Paired inside each cell, the correction is cheaper in 7 of 7 safeguards for S = 1/(1+z) - the one function that makes that place exact inverse interpolation - and in only 29 of 60 cells over all nine functions, i.e. a coin. It does NOT beat Chandrupatla (2884 against 2683 and 2423), it HARMS the slope reading (2806 -> 2854), and it does not cure false position: 127/154 and 10676 become 128/154 and 10043, where Illinois buys 153/154 and 7045 with one constant. Estimator bias measured and stated: a pure cube reads 2.830, not 3 
Also fixes a real regression from cc2c499: the derived3_cap branch was inserted in front of the derived3_m note and swallowed its division, so derived3_m silently became derived3 (2806 against 2806) and a refutation recorded in the paper stopped being reproducible. The full pin caught it; a cheap pin now guards it too. And \label{sec:method} never existed while the table on page 7 referenced it.

vvsandClaude Opus 5 cc2c499f63 Valeri's objection measured: the principle is right (a similarity step should be large far away and small near), and our sigma = |f'|D defeats it — at x=1e4 on a 2e4 bracket the normalised residual is 0.167, so S=0.833 'similar' and the step is small five thousand step-lengths from the root. Selecting sigma = min(|f'|D, max|f| at the ends) — no new constant — improves 403 to 390 on eight hand-picked wide problems but is WORSE over the grid: APS 3288 vs 2726, CHA 3111 vs 2683, so the mode is rejected by its pre-registered rule. Its extra solves are two fun7 problems landing inside the flat zero region, i.e. the scoring artefact and not a capability. Written into Negative results as the answer to the natural objection

vvsandClaude Opus 5 04ee5c89b9 two more places for similarity: points='shape' (WHICH triple the model uses, argmin |phi-xi| over declared candidates — select, never weight) and direction='dissimilar' (the far end read by |f| rather than by distance); defaults bit-identical, P1-P5 pinned (7 green), inertness counters make an inert mode a failed EXPERIMENT rather than a pass; each grid writes to its own file

vvsandClaude Opus 5 e4769be9a3 slope-stability gate: the PROJECT'S OWN target is met for the first time — 5922 < 6026 over both sets at 193/199 with the guarantee intact (slope.ratio.derived3.project: APS 2848 + CHA 3074), CHA improves 4516 -> 2903 (x1.56), repairs 77.5% -> 55.3%. Honest cost: APS 2806 -> 2848, which moves us from 1st to 3rd on the canonical set (chandrupatla 2785, toms748 2820), so my stricter S1 fails while the project target passes — a positioning decision, recorded not resolved. Refusal CURRENCY is what decides: bracket progress 4449 vs model shape 2848, a 1601-evaluation difference for the same 'refuse before the step' idea

vvsandClaude Opus 5 0617243ed4 pre-step gate: prestep='none'|'progress' (default bit-identical), refuse the similarity step BEFORE spending an evaluation when it promises less progress than bisection — two lengths already in hand, no new constant; R1-R4 pinned by tests/test_prestep_gate.py (6 green); the gate grid writes to its OWN sweep_gate.json

vvsandClaude Opus 5 a9060b3dcc logarithmic space mode: pure_root gains space='x'|'log' (default reproduces the published grid bit-for-bit), u = sign(x-c)*log1p(|x-c|/xtol) with c = the end of smaller |f| and s = xtol fixed by derivation; gates G1/G2' pinned by tests/test_log_space.py (7 green); sweep writes the log grid to its OWN sweep_log.json so the verified sweep_full.json is untouched
