The deciding measurements, preregistered by timestamp before their data

The claim - verbatim

ARC-Beta-k, the programme's measurement arm, files its verdicts before the answers. The correction-leverage exponent is measured directly from running systems, and the falsification number that separates the framework from a no-framework null is the cross-class to same-class correction-exponent ratio: the null pins that ratio at exactly 1.00, because architecture-blind averaging has no free parameter for composition class; the framework says materially above 1.00. Two predicted numbers for one measurable quantity, preregistered by timestamp in advance of either dataset existing (the deciding design, study-eclipse, was first anchored in Bitcoin block 964465 on 28 August 2026); the ratio itself has not been measured on real data. The earlier reciprocity test that asked for one number to be measured two independent ways and required agreement is withdrawn as vacuous before filing. If the surviving measurements later contradict the framework, the framework is withdrawn with the same prominence it was published; both component measurements stand on their own registrations. Details appear at registration.

Limits and citation guidance - what this claim does not support, and how to cite it

Limits. One study registration has been submitted and accepted: Unit 06, which the author submitted and OSF registered on 1 October 2026 (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/RV2B5); it has not yet been run. The programme's rule is that only the author submits a registration. Any public sentence implying that more study registrations are filed is false, and this ledger says so first. That sentence does not describe the programme's theory-level registration, which is a different object and is on the public registry: the twenty-two conditional and severable propositions of the framework, under DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/P8CKQ, registered 8 September 2026 at version 1.100 and updated at version 1.102 on 13 September 2026. The cross-class to same-class correction-exponent ratio has not been measured on real data; never describe it as measured. The other study preregistrations are written, dated and prepared as draft registrations awaiting human submission; never say 'filed on OSF' of them.
