+## STANDING DIRECTIVE (user, 2026-07-11): LOOPED LINE ABANDONED.
+The looped/weight-tied single-block line is retired as a research direction. Default everywhere:
+cascade (tied, PCN-form energy over distinct standard blocks) is THE line. The looped record survives
+ONLY as historical evidence inside the dynamics paper (Hopf phenomenology, dips, governor, eig
+audits — valid data, past tense). Consequences: no new looped runs; looped-specific queue items
+closed (adaptive-eps integrator, Pascal five-arm reg triage, S1-S3 looped ladder); report v3
+sections 7.1/8 to be reframed past-tense on the Overleaf pass ("a companion system we studied", not
+"our companion product"); AsymEP machinery = dynamics-paper subject matter, not the training recipe.
