Conjecture 1: Verified exhaustively for N=12 (all 144 pairs) and empirically for N=5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,16,20,24. Formal proof requires computer algebra system. Left for future work.

Mirror-(N+1) Entropy Gain · Verified N=5..24
General law (Conjecture 1 special case):
For any ring of size N, M(N−1,0) = Mirror-(N+1) is always valid,
because gcd(N−1,N)=1 for all N≥2 (consecutive integers are coprime).

Finding (preliminary): Models agree with each other (ARI=0.812) but NOT with designed axes (ARI=0.13). The raw signal suggests morphemic rather than axial structure, but after controlling for a simple n-gram baseline, independent explanatory power beyond surface statistics is not yet established. Treat as preliminary until re-analyzed with n-gram control or confirmed by VPE-001A.

Phase XX + POT Suite · Final Formulation
The Recall Formula
The original "not learning, but remembering" refined across 20 phases and 6 POT tests into a conditional formula with testable predictions.
// RECALL FORMULA (final)
Recall = Structure Match
+ Prior
+ Hypothesis Space
+ Observation
// Recall occurs when limited observation,// within a suitable hypothesis space,// activates the correct prior.// Prior ranking (POT-001 to POT-005)
Wrong prior: acc = 0.000 ← catastrophic
No prior: acc = 0.725 ← data-driven, slow
Self-org prior: acc = 1.000 ← via hypothesis testing
Injected prior: acc = 1.000 ← direct// Phase 20: STRUCTURE_MATCH_REQUIRED
AffWorld → Aff rank #1 hit@3=0.998 ✓
MarkovWorld → Aff rank #4 hit@3=0.248 ✗
FSMWorld → Aff rank #6 hit@3=0.238 ✗
Testable prediction (POT-004): Wrong prior (acc=0.000) is far worse than no prior (acc=0.725). If the VARZIN protocol induces a structurally wrong prior, it is more harmful than no protocol at all.

Blind Human Rater Study
Can independent humans group Core-30 words above chance? This is the only test that can resolve semantic axis validity.
// Pre-registered blind semantic test
Task: Classify 30 Core-30 words into 5 axes
Raters: ≥ 5 independent, blind to VARZIN
Prior: NONE — no VARZIN knowledge allowed
Metric: Fleiss κ (multi-rater agreement)
Seed: 130,474,528 (fixed)
// Pre-registered thresholds
κ ≥ 0.50 → STRONG
κ ≥ 0.40 → PRIMARY (publication minimum)
κ 0.20–0.40 → MARGINAL
κ < 0.20 → FAIL
// Key question
Humans → morpheme families (like AIs)?
→ morphemic structure IS primary
Humans → semantic axes (as designed)?
→ axes exist in cognitive layer
Either result advances the project.
What Phase 19 established: The scoring pipeline works (Oracle=1.000). Without an independent receiver, no external memory can be established. Phase 20 refined: receiver must be structurally aligned (affine-compatible prior) for recall to work.
Conditions for real test (Phase 20 + POT): 1. Sealed targets with published hash before trial 2. Independent receiver with affine-compatible prior 3. Pre-registered threshold: z > 2.0 on ≥3 independent trials
