Artian Monitored-Recurrence Reference-Switch Laboratory Protocol: A Preregistered, Activation-Gated A1 Test with First-Detection Resonances

A sealed laboratory fork for monitored quantum recurrence

Can the location of a first-detection recurrence resonance distinguish two physically qualified time-reference classes after ordinary clock-transfer, Hamiltonian, waveform, detector, and environmental effects have been held fixed? This preregistration converts that question into a reciprocal two-device experiment with a machine-evaluable entrance gate and a finite outcome ledger.

For device \(d\) and preregistered transition \(j\), the laboratory reports one dimensionless root ratio,

\[ y_{dj} = \log\!\left( \frac{\widehat x^{*}_{dLj}} {\widehat x^{*}_{dAj}} \right), \qquad \widehat\Delta = \frac{\mathbf 1^{\mathsf T}\Sigma_y^{-1}\mathbf y} {\mathbf 1^{\mathsf T}\Sigma_y^{-1}\mathbf 1}, \qquad \widehat R_{\rm MRRS}=e^{\widehat\Delta}. \]

The two frozen point hypotheses are

\[ H_0: \quad \Delta_0=0, \qquad R_0=1, \] \[ H_{A1}: \quad \Delta_{A1}=\log\!\cos\!\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) =-0.0791735919101875\ldots, \qquad R_{A1}=\cos\!\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right) =0.9238795325112867\ldots . \]

The A1 point is dormant unless the proposed physical terminal exists in the apparatus. Version 2.01 therefore places a fifteen-gate constructor ahead of all role-dependent recurrence output:

\[ G_{\rm PT} = \prod_{i=1}^{15}P_i. \]

The gate requires a completed source event, continuous physical source memory, no later laboratory write, a source intervention witness, a target-blind ordinary camera, a numerical rank-two terminal Jacobian, a complete clock graph, and an irreversible pre-data seal. A free-running oscillator alone is not a \(T^{\star}\) terminal. If any gate fails, the registered result is

\[ G_{\rm PT}=0 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad \texttt{TARGET\_NOT\_ACTIVATED}. \]

The executable packet freezes two devices, two independent oscillator chains, four reciprocal role cells, four recurrence roots, eight supercycles, \(N=1024\), an 81-point primary scan, and 2,048 trajectories per point in each supercycle. The resulting primary campaign is fixed at

\[ N_{\rm traj}^{\rm primary} =81\times2048\times8\times2\times2\times4 =84{,}934{,}656. \]

Each crossed cell uses a target-blind scan-point permutation and its matched crossover uses the reverse permutation, preventing a monotonic drift from masquerading as a displaced resonance. The estimator is the full finite-\(N\) multinomial likelihood, including the no-detection category; no manual fit window, pseudoinverse, post-unblinding regularization, or effect-directed exclusion is permitted.

The two equivalence regions have fixed half-width \(0.025\) in log space, and the primary design gate is

\[ {\rm SE}(\widehat\Delta)\le 0.006. \]

A registered point requires its full two-sided 95% interval to lie inside one equivalence region and must exclude the competing point by at least five total standard uncertainties. A fresh 400+400 finite-horizon synthetic campaign gives

\[ u_{\Delta}^{\rm synth}=0.0010808000, \qquad \frac{|\Delta_{A1}-\Delta_0|}{u_{\Delta}^{\rm synth}} =73.25. \]

Every synthetic campaign is classified correctly under the printed planning assumptions. Zero failures in 400 trials per branch does not certify a five-standard-deviation simulation tail; it is a software and power receipt, not hardware activation or a laboratory observation.

Release status:

• CLOSED: laboratory instruction layer and machine packet;
• CLOSED: synthetic activation, fail-closed, power, and outcome-classifier audits;
• PENDING: platform-specific hardware packet and physical-terminal activation;
• PENDING: qualified laboratory data and empirical A1 verdict.

The reconstruction archive contains the LaTeX source, exact protocol JSON and hash-bound V2.01 clarification layer, activation templates and validator, raw-data dictionary, 31 exclusion codes, finite-\(N\) power program, six-outcome classifier, two independent experimental-review closure ledgers, a mandatory platform execution contract, visual audit, machine release receipt, and complete SHA-256 hashes. The public uncertainty and separation values are generated directly from the frozen JSON power receipt.
