Four tests around today's additions. Two failed on first run and both
were worth having.
The degree decomposition left an O(1/n) residual on a field that is
purely additive: excluding the diagonal makes the two-way design
unbalanced, so one pass of row and column means does not remove a pure
degree effect. Swept to convergence instead. At N=256 the correction
moves the reported variance shares by under 0.001, so the refutation of
the hubness hypothesis stands unchanged -- but the instrument that
produced it now does what it claims.
The other failure was the test's own scale: two random 16-dimensional
subspaces of R^64 overlap above 0.7 by chance, which is why the real
measurements are made at N=256 where the null sits at 1.0.
