DIPS: The Channel Configuration Is the Quantum Assignment

Erratum (Version 2, 12 September 2026): this version adds a standalone erratum, DIPS_Myronov_2026_erratum_coding_map.pdf. It clarifies that one identified channel (DIPS) maps to one binary selection variable x_m; the discrete tags (i, j, L, c) identify that variable and are not separate qubits; strength, stock and memory enter as coefficients of E(X) and the companion C. No change to Rules R1-R8, to the procedure P, to the experiments, figures or numerical results. The Version 1 preprint PDF is included unchanged. The main text of the paper has not been rewritten in this version. The correction is attached as a separate file and remains the authoritative statement of the coding map.
