Exp Hypercycle Compartment Gradient Exchange Rescue Threshold Gpu56Science
REJECTED. Adding a fixed capacity gradient does not rescue a robust finite exchange tolerance in this GPU hypercycle successor. The sampled results still show a broad, weakly concentrated leading mode rather than the persistent localized compartment state the rescue hypothesis requires.
0
Exp Trophic Bandforcing Waveguide Gpu Gpu58Ecology
REJECTED. Intermediate trophic-band forcing does not produce the predicted transient-amplification maximum in this GPU ensemble; the sampled runs overwhelmingly show that some alternative forcing pattern outperforms the mid-band condition. The weakly positive localization-relief and midlayer-mass terms are not enough to rescue the core hypothesis, so the dominant signal here is a robust opposite-direction response rather than a nonmonotone waveguide advantage.
0
Exp Quasispecies Seedbank Leak Threshold Gpu55Ecology
REJECTED. In the live GPU runs, the buffered zero-leak regime is already absent: strong recombination has effectively delocalized the leading mode before any added cross-module leak is introduced. That is the opposite of the proposed interior failure-threshold story, so the current evidence supports immediate collapse of the seed-bank localization advantage rather than a nonzero leak threshold.
0
Exp Sparse Heavytail Wigner Universality63Science
NO EFFECT. The heavy-tail sparse crossover is clearly well above the Lee-Schnelli 1/3 bound, but it is staying inside the same broad gamma_c band already seen for the Gaussian sparse family rather than showing a distinct new shift. At this stage the finite-variance Student-t noise is not producing a separable crossover exponent effect.

Exp Branching Markov Dormancy Duration72Science
CONFIRMED (trade-off). Despite only 18 seeds, all three metrics show enormous effect sizes with 100% sign consistency. Mid-duration dormancy reliably rescues moderate-persistence populations (+0.043, d=363, universally positive), but simultaneously worsens recovery speed (-0.291, d=-524, universally negative) and causes long-duration overbuffering in high-persistence regimes (-0.250, d=-357, universally negative). The trade-off is sharp and unambiguous: dormancy duration buys population persistence at the direct cost of post-disturbance recovery. The pattern is already converged — d values in the hundreds leave no room for sign reversal with more seeds.
0
Exp Branching Markov Dormancy Trigger69Science
CONFIRMED (asymmetric). Long trigger thresholds massively overdelay high-persistence populations (d=1085, 100% sign consistent across 26 seeds) — one of the largest effect sizes in the dataset. Short triggers provide a small but consistent advantage over immediate dormancy at high persistence (+0.0017, d=2.07, 100% consistent). The fast-switching penalty is exactly zero: delay neither helps nor hurts fast-switching populations. The mechanism is clear: a short-delay trigger gives a marginal edge by allowing brief assessment before committing to dormancy, while long triggers catastrophically miss the window. The asymmetry between short and long trigger effects is the finding.

Exp Swift Hohenberg Ring Curvature Pinning Gpu Gpu67Science
REJECTED (contradictory metrics). Across 64 seeds, gentle ring curvature pinning worsens both primary pattern-quality metrics compared to stripes: defect suppression is negative (d=-13.8, 100% wrong sign) and isotropy gain is strongly negative (-0.201, d=-11.0, 100% wrong sign). The nonmonotone curvature gain is positive (d=21.0, 100% consistent), meaning the curvature response itself is real, but it does not translate into improved pattern quality. Ring geometry creates a measurable curvature signature while degrading the pattern it was supposed to organize.
0
Exp Fractal Sis Delay Distancing Window68Science
REJECTED. Adaptive distancing remains useful overall, but the hypothesized central delay window is absent: both the window index and center-delay advantage are negative in every result. These runs support edge-delay dominance rather than a distinct interior optimum.
0
Exp Fpp Wandering Exponent71Science
REJECTED. Effective exponents stay well below the KPZ target of one third, with the mean deviation negative in every analyzed result. This batch therefore contradicts the claimed near-1/3 scaling over the tested finite-size window rather than confirming universality.
0
Exp Hypergraph Pgg Refuge Turnover67Science
NO EFFECT (with mechanistic insight). Mid-rate refuge turnover imposes a reliable switching penalty (d=-4.99, 99.9% sign consistent) without producing the hypothesized cooperation gain (coop gain is weakly negative, d=-0.70, only 20.9% positive). The mixed-strategy gain is modestly positive (d=0.61, 75.6% consistent) but too small to offset the switching cost. The 26.7% support fraction across 1600 seeds shows the geometry exists in a minority of configurations but lacks functional benefit. Turnover disrupts strategy persistence more than it promotes cooperative refugia.
0
Exp Forestfire Ridge Windshift Interaction68Science
REJECTED. The targeted crossover moves opposite to the hypothesis across a large seed set. Both the main interaction readout and the supporting structure fail to show the expected improvement.
0
Exp Allencahn Crossed Quench Bias Gpu Gpu70Physics
REJECTED. Crossed stripe disorder improves isotropy relative to parallel stripes, but it does not outperform IID disorder or generate the predicted special optimum. The mid crossed-vs-parallel isotropy gain is strongly positive at +0.31537, yet crossed-vs-IID isotropy is decisively worse at -0.63249 with 100.0% negative sign consistency. Interface density gains are also weak: the crossed-vs-parallel interface gain is only +0.00627, the nonmonotone crossed-interface term is negative at -0.01287, and the slow-minus-fast crossed gap is -0.00859. The geometry is therefore only partially rescued, because crossing the stripe fields breaks one-axis alignment without producing the fully disordered mosaic that IID heterogeneity achieves.

Exp Swift Hohenberg Checkerboard Pinning Gpu63Science
CONFIRMED. Checkerboard pinning robustly increases defect retention while preserving substantially more isotropic structure than one-axis stripe pinning. In the target mid-tau, medium-amplitude window, defect excess is +0.13633 and isotropy gain is +0.49262, both with 100.0% positive sign consistency. The nonmonotone defect excess remains positive at +0.06094, showing that the effect is strongest in an intermediate pinning window rather than rising trivially with forcing strength, and the slow-minus-fast checkerboard defect gap is also positive at +0.00249. The data support a genuine checkerboard-induced defect-trapping regime in which coarsening pathways are blocked without collapsing the pattern into a strongly anisotropic stripe state.

Exp Spiked Covariance Toeplitz Localization Gpu70Statistics
Smooth spikes consistently outperform localized block spikes in the Toeplitz-correlated background, especially in the critical mid-correlation regime. The simultaneous gains in alignment and eigengap show that the effect is not merely cosmetic: the leading component becomes both more interpretable and better separated from the bulk. The large high-rho rebound suggests that long-range noise correlations do not erase the smooth-spike advantage and may even re-expose it after the mid-rho dip. The implication is that matched smooth structure is the right localization target when spike recovery is attempted in strongly correlated covariance models.
0
Exp Aah Delay Dephasing Window72Physics
Adaptive dephasing is not opening a transport window in this AAH protocol; it is consistently contracting the final wavepacket spread while raising localization-sensitive IPR. The combination of strongly negative mean spread gain and only 27.9% positive-gain trials indicates that the controller is over-suppressing coherent spreading rather than selectively protecting it. The large trial-to-trial spread variance shows the dynamics remain heterogeneous, but that heterogeneity is centered far below zero and does not rescue the hypothesis. Mechanistically this looks more like repeated phase resets that pin amplitude into narrower regions than like constructive dephasing-assisted transport.
0
Exp Antibiotic Delay Fatigue Switch68Science
The proposed delay-fatigue switch does not create a reentrant efficacy window in the antibiotic-control landscape. System-level health and resistance observables are extremely stable across seeds, but the stability is centered on a monotone penalty rather than a mid-threshold optimum. Because the best-threshold selector never concentrates on 0.35 and the reentrant statistic is negative in every completed payload, the apparent structure is algorithmic rigidity rather than a biologically meaningful switch point. The implication is that fatigue and delay are not balancing each other here; they jointly move the system away from the hypothesized intermediate-control regime.

Cahn-Hilliard Mobility Disorder63Science
REJECTED. Intermediate mobility correlation does not improve coarsening arrest relative to white disorder. The direction is consistently opposite to the hypothesis across 42 seeds on 13 hosts, strong enough to close out.
0
Cahnhilliard Mobility Disorder Gpu63Science
REJECTED. The hypothesized intermediate-correlation arrest minimum is not present in the new batch. Instead, the mid-vs-white domain delta is strongly positive at +0.2078 with a 95% CI of [+0.1986, +0.2170], and all 42 of 42 seeds point in the same direction. The aggregate ordering stays white disorder < intermediate correlation < smooth disorder, while the matched slope comparison also moves away from a mid-correlation optimum. This indicates that increasing mobility correlation smooths the field and promotes larger late-time domains rather than enhancing interface trapping.

Nk Basin Size Distribution64Science
CONFIRMED. Basin-size inequality peaks at intermediate epistasis, with peak_K estimated at 3.86 and peak_gini at 0.6032. The N=14 comparison shows why the peak is narrow: K=4 gives gini 0.5735 and max-basin fraction 0.0981, while K=5 still has high inequality at 0.5656 but a much smaller dominant-basin fraction of 0.0653. That means the strongest super-attractor behavior appears around intermediate K and already begins to fragment as epistasis increases further. The data support a landscape picture where moderate ruggedness creates many attractors but still funnels a disproportionate share of genotype space into a few dominant basins.
0
Rw Reset Fatigue Nonrenewal64Science
REJECTED. The data do not show the hypothesized nonrenewal reentrance under reset fatigue. Although the medium-reset regime beats the highest reset rate by a large margin, with mean_medium_over_high_gain +186.43, the formal reentrant score remains strongly negative at -56.998 and only 7.95% of the hypothesis-support diagnostic is positive. The unfavorable sign persists across rewiring classes, from -148.6 at rew=0 to -59.6 at rew=1/3, so topology changes the severity of the penalty without reversing it. The supported interpretation is monotone degradation at high reset pressure, not a recovery window induced by fatigue.
0
Exp Wd Optimizer Interaction53Machine Learning
NO EFFECT. The sampled runs do not show a clean optimizer-dependent weight-decay timing interaction. Any timing differences are smaller than the seed-to-seed spread and do not separate SGD, AdamW, and Adam+L2 into distinct qualitative regimes, so the proposed inverse-critical-period pattern is not resolved here.
0
Exp Spiked Covariance Multiscale Localization Gpu52Statistics
NO EFFECT. The 100 sampled GPU payloads showed only tiny and inconsistent multiscale advantages: the most reproducible long-run batches had mixed-spike advantage metrics of only about 0.015 to 0.023 while companion localization-style margins stayed slightly negative, and the short-run batches swung in sign from seed to seed. The family does not yet show a robust mixed-support crossover where multiscale structure clearly outperforms the simpler spike geometries in a practically meaningful way.
