The Gate, Computed: The Propagation Stability Gate (G1–G7) Run Against the Live Matrix File, and Found Not Met on the File's Own Evidence
The Propagation Map's seven-condition stability gate (G1-G7) computed from the live matrix file itself -- the cross-reference pass of 2026-11-03: work/edges.json (326 rows, papers #202-#527, six fields per row) and its three annex matrices (326 primary-relation rows). Every printed number is re-derived from those files; nothing is copied from the Map's prose, and where file and prose disagree the file governs. The file as found: the new-x-new citation adjacency is 326x326 with 308 edges, every one one-way (0 reciprocated pairs, 0 self-citations; density 0.2907% of 105,950 ordered pairs); 151 papers cite an old-corpus paper, 113 of 201 old papers receive a citation; register items 308 mentions / 250 distinct / 42 worked by more than one paper / 222 papers working at least one; 159 distinct arXiv IDs across 143 papers; and 24 rows (#209-#219, #221-#229, #234-#237, all Wave 2) carry no title and no grade -- a set including the governing papers #212, #213, #214 of three intake screens. The annexes' primary-relation column parses to WORKS-ITS-DEBT 98 / EXTENDS 49 / CORRECTS 17 / SUPERSEDES 1 / RECOVERS 1 / THEMATIC-ONLY 160 against the pass's headline 98 / 55 / 19 / 2 / 1 / 151: WD and REC agree exactly, and the gaps 6 + 2 + 1 sum to exactly the THEMATIC-ONLY gap of 9 (nine rows' secondary relations promoted over their printed primary tag); the file's totals are printed as the results. Gate, computed condition by condition: G1 NOT MET (no validator or deposit field in the file; rows carrying either 0 of 326). G2 NOT MET (graded core visible in file: 49 DERIVED-INDEPENDENT clean + 1 split (#301), 0 FIRST; verdicts carried 0; old-corpus grades are not rows of this file; 24 rows ungraded). G3 NOT MET (no severity or application-state field; of 17 CORRECTS + 1 SUPERSEDES rows, 0 showable from the file in any of the gate's three printed states). G4 NOT MET on the file's evidence (0 Batch A rows in the file; 14 rows cite #1, 6 cite #5; no deposit-version field exists) -- reconciled explicitly against the Map's G4-MET reading, which rests on deposit-lane records this file structurally cannot see; the blindness is reported as a finding. G5 NOT MET (the bulk queue is absent from the file in every form; deferral states 0 of 326). G6 NOT MET (#212/#213/#214 present as rows but skeleton-silent; CC-59's source has no governing paper and no row; verdicts on any screen source in file: 0). G7 NOT MET as a whole; its computable third printed (file-side recount FIRST 0 / DI 49 + 1 split / EXTENSION 135 / INCREMENTAL 117 / ungraded 24 -- 302 of 326 graded; no standing field and no TSI unique count in the file). CONDITIONS MET: 0 OF 7 -- the gate is NOT MET, the same direction as the Map's NOT-YET-MET reading, reached by computation rather than inherited. Constructive remainder: four named columns (validator state, deposit state, application state, queue state) would make the gate arithmetic on one file. EXTENSION. Vacuum catastrophe NOT SOLVED; quantum gravity NOT SOLVED.
