across all 43 numeric GPU payloads, intermediate stripe anisotropy gives mid mixedness advantage +0.02019 [0.01910, 0.02129] (d=+5.53), entropy advantage +0.02221 [0.02179, 0.02264] (d=+15.60), band-gap gain +0.00714 [0.00690, 0.00738], and high-anisotropy alignment penalty +0.22700 [0.22570, 0.22830], all 100.0% sign-consistent; the per-condition means place mixedness near 0.7213 at anisotropy 0.45 and spectral entropy near 0.7370 there, while the strongly striped limit pays the large alignment penalty.

CONFIRMED Intermediate stripe-correlated kill disorder reproducibly creates the defect-rich mixed regime proposed in the hypothesis. The scientific content is not just a small geometric change: mixedness, entropy, and disorder-sensitive band structure all move in the same direction at the middle anisotropy, while strong striping instead locks the pattern into aligned bands. That is the signature of a true interior crossover between IID noise and near-deterministic corridor formation. In Gray-Scott language, moderate correlated disorder maximizes competition between stripe ordering and local defect nucleation.
