Coupling & Negative Controls

AT-0073 → AT-0080. If identity and relational address are separate coordinate blocks, an optimiser will always move one without disturbing the other. That is factorisation, not physics. This lab couples them on purpose and measures what survives.

Set κ to zero and watch every decoupling metric jump to a perfect score. That is the point of the control: the perfect score means the model was factorised, and the gate below will refuse to promote it.

Î(x) = I + κ · M · R,   progress = 1 − ‖R* − R‖ / ‖R* − R₀‖
Observed identity under coupling. At κ = 0 the blocks are independent and address change is free — expected by construction.
