Kill switches

Four instrument switches: 1, 2, 3, and 6. Switches 4 and 5 are withdrawn with Supplements S1 and S2. They are not calls in this book. A story about the vacuum is not a bound.

A straight null fringe on a dark optical table.
Systematics-limited describes the bound, not a failure.
  • Switch 1No call

    Array residual

    Analysis A consistent with the Beta or bootstrap null, FDR-controlled, separately for Chain S and Chain C. Analysis B's bootstrap-max consistent with the time-slide null. The |τ| ≪ τ_c class is claimed only on baselines with τ_c ≫ f_d⁻¹.

    Blast radius. The hypothesis as tested by that chain. The array remains a disciplined SDR network.

  • Switch 2No call

    Chromaticity

    Uncombined L1 and L5, with uncertainty. Delay class φ₁/φ₂ ≈ 1.339 may proceed, but passing is necessary, not sufficient: troposphere, multipath, and clock error are also delay-class. Ionospheric class ≈ 0.747 returns to the null. Phase-offset class = 1 is instrumental. A mixture that matches no class is not promoted. Hardware frequency dependence is bounded by the common-clock run.

    Blast radius. The candidate, not the array. This switch cannot fire on a null.

  • Switch 3No call

    Pipeline non-recovery

    Open or blind injection not recovered, including the distinctive chain pattern, or off-injection not back on the null floor, or the time-slide background disagrees with the bootstrap, or the empirical false-alarm rate misses its target, or the common-clock pair or a spot check misses its predicted null.

    Blast radius. The campaign, until the pipeline is repaired. No science claim.

  • Switch 6No call

    Simultaneity convention

    If a |τ| ≪ τ_c excess moves under an independent time transfer — two-way optical, common-view versus all-in-view, or a second constellation — or does not survive substitution of the common-clock calibration, it is a clock-ensemble or hardware artifact.

    Blast radius. Any non-local reading of that dataset. Load-bearing on Chain C.

Switches 4 and 5 from earlier drafts are not in this compilation. Numbering keeps Switch 6 so the field book and the repository do not fork.

[E] · [I] · [H]

How to read a sentence

  • [E] Established result. GPS, IGS, the Beta law, the Holometer’s optical null. Carrier phase scales as 1/f. Delay and range scale as 1/f².
  • [I] Interpretive. Not required by the data. Supplement S1 is withheld from this submission.
  • [H] This program’s hypothesis. Contingent. Kill-switched. H_S and H_C are the only two that the array is built to bound.
Companion studies kept behind a closed laboratory door, the RF rack in front.
Supplements S1 and S2 are withheld. They do not open or close Chain S or Chain C.

What this handset will not do

  • Invent a residual, a γ̂, or a lag.
  • Treat a GPS fix as carrier phase.
  • Quote a Chain C bound tighter than the maximum of the co-located non-clock floor, the isolated relative-clock term, and the baseline atmospheric differential.
  • Call a τ≈0 excess superluminal. Common-mode is not a channel.
  • Let withheld Supplement S1 ontology into the detection statistic.
  • Treat an E-field, barometer, or radon note as an estimator input.
  • Adjudicate withdrawn switches 4 or 5.
  • Treat a handset hash as a pre-registration without an external anchor.

Prior art, so a reviewer does not have to reconstruct it: the Holometer is co-located optical strain (Chou et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 117, 111102, 2016; arXiv:1611.08265). This program is RF carrier phase across geographic baselines. Clock-network dark-matter searches look for transients in frequency. This one looks for stationary phase coherence after geodetic subtraction. A bound here is a different channel.

Sibling stack: the node software and the existing handset shell live in DynoGator/dslv-zpdi, package labs.dynogator.dslvzpdi. This record is the Rev 3.6 campaign book beside that array, not a second simulator.
