This file is the canonical Retractions Register for DM3 under License
Section 19.3(d). Retractions remain first-class public artifacts. They
stay visible here and in CLAIMS.md. Historical claims
are not deleted; they are marked and linked to the killing or
superseding evidence.
- RETRACTED — a previously promoted claim whose pre-registered kill criterion was met. The claim is removed from the active ledger and the killing evidence is recorded.
- REJECTED-BEFORE-PROMOTED — a candidate claim that was caught and superseded inside the same workstream before it was added to the promoted ledger. Recorded as a process win, not a retraction in the License sense.
- WEAKENED — a claim whose statement was narrowed in light of new
evidence. The earlier wording is preserved in the retired-claims
section of
CLAIMS.mdand linked here.
| Claim | Status | First recorded | Summary | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
H2 |
RETRACTED / KILLED | 2026-04-16 | The transformer does not create bistability. Geometry is sovereign; bistability survives Hamiltonian-mode replay without transformer dependence. | docs/restart/DM3_MULTI_HYPOTHESIS_FINAL_REPORT.md, docs/restart/DM3_SESSION4_FINAL_REPORT.md |
γ |
RETRACTED | 2026-04-17 | rot=60° does not uniquely break C3 under asymmetry. Session 5 pooled replication removed the claimed 60°-specific effect. |

δ.3 |
WEAKENED | 2026-04-22 | The Session 6 reading that R3 "payload-moves along --steps" is weakened. SY-default surface saturates at operational_steps == 10; requested --steps > 20 no longer advances payload. R3 remains structurally unreachable from the exposed CLI. |

REJECTED-BEFORE-PROMOTED | 2026-04-25 | The Session 8 Phase A draft "coarse 30/40 peak" wording for the exp_k2_scars learning curve was caught and superseded by the A5 one-step sweep before it reached the promoted ledger. |

σ′ |
REJECTED-BEFORE-PROMOTED | 2026-04-25 | The A5 interim "bimodal s32/s41" wording was caught and superseded by the A6a/A6b fills before it reached the promoted ledger. The active candidate is σ″ (trimodal sawtooth). |

θ (Session 7 wording) |
SUPERSEDED | 2026-04-25 | The Session 7 wording of θ ("harmonic dynamics layer is substrate-invariant") is reused in the Session 8 ledger for the closed compound-axis R1+R2 flip with r4.transfer_ratio doubling, and the older substrate-null line is now carried under ι. The change is bookkeeping; the underlying evidence is preserved in both anchor cells. |

- The
σ → σ′ → σ″lineage is preserved inCLAIMS.mdand is promoted as a process win, not buried. The discipline is that draft wordings are caught inside the workstream that produced them. - The R3 weakening is paired with the SY-default
operational_stepssaturation finding; the weakened wording remains visible alongside the strengthened evidence base.
- A claim enters this register when its pre-registered kill criterion is met, when a stronger receipted result explicitly retracts it, or when a candidate is caught and superseded inside its source workstream before promotion.
- Retractions are prospective and binding on the public DM3 surface from the moment they are published here.
- Historical wordings are not deleted; they are marked and linked to the killing or superseding evidence. The lineage stays visible.
