Robert Allan JamesandClaude Sonnet 5 1e2dc7fbf0 Close punch-list item #4: amd64 dict_hash non-determinism does not reproduce
Ran the amd64 kernel acceptance leg 5 times back to back as the punch
list's action item asked. dict_hash was byte-identical across every run
for every VM (Artemis, both Hermes instances, Hera/MAMA_INIT), and
matched aarch64/riscv64 exactly each time. Not jitter, and not
stable-but-different either.

The underlying mechanism the hypothesis pointed at is still real and
unchanged (capsule_dict_hash_hook() still folds execution_heat into the
hash; amd64 still runs its timer in RELATIVE mode under this
hypervisor) — but PARITY:MAMA_INIT and the child-VM PARITY:BIRTH lines
all print before the heartbeat starts, and heat only decays on
heartbeat ticks, so there's no window for the timer's non-determinism to
reach execution_heat before any of these hashes get computed. Most
likely the original 2026-07-24 observation was a one-off (loaded host
machine, coincidental timing), not a real gap.

No code change. No amendment to CLAUDE.md's acceptance criteria needed —
"identical dict_hash across all three architectures" holds up under
repeated testing. Closure note added to the punch list; the 5 verification
runs' logs and DoE CSVs are kept as the supporting evidence.

docs/working/ — Living Documentation

Source material for the formal documentation tier. Design notes, DoE logs, architecture decisions, experiment reports, draft specs — everything not yet promoted to docs/formal/. See docs/CLAUDE.md for the two-tier model.

Layout

Directory Contents
architecture/ System design: physics engine, HAL, heartbeat, pipelining, word-ACL, adaptive systems, getting-started, plus dated design/finding notes for Artemis, Hermes, and the K-PUSH dictionary-shadowing bug. (03-architecture/, getting-started/, heartbeat_csv_export.md)
experiments/ DoE designs and run data. (02-experiments/, campaigns/ = former top-level experiments/, including the l8_attractor_map, l8_validation, doe_2x7, shape_validation, and window_scaling campaigns)
specifications/ Protocol/format specs — currently HOLA_PROTOCOL.adoc.
hardware/ Board bring-up, platform/perf notes — PGO_GUIDE.adoc, PLATFORM_BUILD_GUIDE.adoc, plus performance-profiling/ and platform-integration/ subtrees.
legal/ Patent-adjacent material — HOLD. See legal/README.md. Nothing moved here without Bob's instruction.
papers/ Academic / citable writing: claim tables, anti-claims, null hypothesis, reproducibility, ontology (markdown), SSRN companion (SSRN_companion/), FINAL_REPORT/, published SSRN PDF (published/).
scratch/ Uncategorized working material: governance/meta docs (governance/, ci-cd/, testing-quality/), the full docs/src/ developer-reference tree (src/), asset holding area (assets/).
archive/ Historical / superseded / obsolete records: quality audits, operations, research drafts, session logs, the former docs/archive/ tree (legacy/), artifacts.

Phase 2 reorganization notes (2026-06-16)

  • Moves used git mv (history preserved). Each moved .md/.adoc/.tex file carries a one-line provenance header noting its original path.
  • Reorg used directory-level consolidation rather than splitting every mixed-tag directory file-by-file, to keep companion data (logs, CSVs, randomization matrices) with the reports they belong to. Per-file status tags remain authoritative in docs/INDEX.md.
  • docs/src/ landed under scratch/src/ as a holding area — it is mixed developer reference that still needs semantic re-filing into architecture/, hardware/, and specifications/.
  • Repo-root convention files (README.md, ROADMAP.md, ONTOLOGY.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, NOTICE.md) and the docs landing files (docs/CLAUDE.md, docs/INDEX.md, docs/README.md) were left in place.
  • DELETE candidates: see docs/DELETE-CANDIDATES.md (nothing deleted).
