Phase 34 · two-layer track

Two layers of reality

AT-0263 → AT-0272. Benchmark seed 263. A deeper relational layer Y, a projection onto emergent observable geometry X, and one new diagnostic: projection leverage. The entire package exists to stop that diagnostic from lying to us.

SeedSeed 263 reproduces the recorded null benchmark.dim Y — 12Dimension of the deeper relational layer.dim X — 8Dimension of the emergent observable layer.Nonlinearity — 0.60Strength of the smooth nonlinear term inside the projection.Lawful paths — 400Bounded local Y paths drawn in the short-Y / far-X search.Steps per path — 24Steps in each lawful Y path. Every step is sampled through the projection.Y sites in the cone test — 16Sites in the local interaction ring used for the emergent locality test.Gauge quotientDivide out the redundant rotation in X before measuring any distance. Turning this off re-enables the B14 artefact.

Running the two-layer package — random-map nulls at three dimensions, Jacobian tracking, the lawful path search with its matched control, the emergent locality test and the deeper-layer gate. This takes a few seconds.
