From 03f68f76011d510db017d3b15fdd6a231677f79a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: YurenHao0426 Date: Sat, 1 Aug 2026 16:24:08 -0500 Subject: Mark the superseded gate claims in the earlier results documents NATURAL_RESULTS keeps its verdict paragraph but flags that the statistic behind it does not govern recovery, and that the search has since been run. SYNTH_RESULTS gets a note on the parenthesis that turned out to be the whole story: structured fields are low-rank, the threshold formula assumes full-rank noise, and the caveat sat unfollowed for months.
