Replication artifacts for the validation runs in Architecture Synthesis: The Next Correct Step (in preparation) — the registered predictions, answer sheets, operator prompts, quarantine rules, grading rubrics, and run transcripts behind the book's blind-derivation chapter.
Honesty first: the four runs performed before this repository existed (Stack Overflow, Shopify, Discord, Companies House) are attested — their registered-before-graded ordering is documented in internal working files, and this repository publishes their content, not proof of their timing. The book states this distinction plainly and this repository repeats it.
From this repository's creation onward, registration is prospective: every future run's answer sheet and registered predictions are committed before outcomes are checked, and each registration is marked with an annotated tag. Commit history is the timestamp. Standing policy: no force-pushes, no history rewrites, ever.
protocol/— the run protocol: isolated-operator setup, quarantine rules, grading rubric, evidence grades (A/B/C).runs/<system>/— per-run artifacts: answer sheet, registered predictions, operator prompts, transcripts, graded results.schema/— the machine-readable answer-sheet schema (the series interchange format) and the four runs' sheets in schema form.
Populated incrementally while the book is in revision; a directory that contains only this note is pending its scrubbing pass (working files are curated before publication, never dumped).
The method's standing invitation: run the worksheet on a system you know, and if the derivation produces an absurd vector, file an issue with your answer sheet and the observed vector. A refuting worksheet is the most valuable feedback there is. Use the "Counterexample report" issue template.
