Appendix WWW — Predictions & Falsification

\labelapp:WWW

WWW.1 Purpose and scientific role

This appendix completes the validation chain by addressing the central scientific requirement of falsifiability. Where Appendices RRR–VVV establish construction, scoring, robustness, identifiability, and generalization, Appendix WWW explicitly asks:

\beginquote What observable patterns must fail in order for the framework to be weakened or rejected? \endquote

All predictions in this appendix are formulated as quantitative, machine-checkable tests. A failed prediction is reported as a failure mode, not post-hoc rationalized.

WWW.2 Inputs and scope

All tests operate on the finalized validation outputs written by previous appendices, in particular:

• ‘killer_test_A_summary_ALL_with_score.csv‘
• ‘VVV_consensus_summary.csv‘
• ‘VVV_sweep_steps.csv‘
• ‘VVV_sweep_band.csv‘
• ‘VVV_sweep_score_variants.csv‘
• ‘VVV_sweep_subsampling.csv‘
• Optional trajectory files: ‘traj_score_gamma_*_rep_*.csv‘

The outputs of this appendix are:

• ‘WWW_prediction_results.csv‘
• ‘WWW_failure_modes.csv‘
• ‘WWW_summary.txt‘

WWW.3 Prediction P1 — Monotonic convergence

Statement.

For each saved trajectory, the unified score must be non-decreasing as a function of training steps.

Test.

For every trajectory file, the discrete condition

$$S_{k+1} - S_k \ge 0$$

is evaluated across all recorded steps (within numerical tolerance).

Failure criterion.

Any trajectory exhibiting a sustained decrease constitutes a failure.

Result.

All tested trajectories satisfy monotonic convergence.

$$\textbf{P1: PASSED}$$

WWW.4 Prediction P2 — Elite tradeoff between amplitude and flatness

Statement.

Within the elite set (top 15% by score), amplitude and flatness are not independent. Empirically, higher mean rotational amplitude tends to coincide with higher variability, producing a Pareto-style tradeoff.

Test.

Within the elite subset, the Pearson correlation

$$\rho\!\left(\mu_v,\;\mathrm{CV}_{\mathrm{band}}\right)$$

is computed.

Failure criterion.

A non-positive correlation indicates absence of the expected tradeoff.

Result.

The measured correlation is positive:

$$\rho > 0.$$ $$\textbf{P2: PASSED}$$

WWW.5 Prediction P3 — Stability band existence

Statement.

A nontrivial range of the control parameter $\gamma$ must exist such that the best score within that range remains within a fixed fraction $\alpha$ of the global maximum.

Test.

Let $S_{\max}$ be the maximum score. A stability band exists if there is at least one $\gamma$ satisfying:

$$\max_{\mathrm{rep}} S(\gamma,\mathrm{rep}) \ge \alpha S_{\max}, \qquad \alpha = 0.85.$$

Failure criterion.

No $\gamma$ satisfies the threshold.

Result.

A contiguous stability band is observed.

$$\textbf{P3: PASSED}$$

WWW.6 Prediction P4 — Winner uniqueness across conditions

Statement.

Across generalization sweeps (steps, band scaling, score variants, subsampling), a single $(\gamma,\mathrm{rep})$ pair should dominate.

Test.

Each sweep contributes one vote per scenario; consensus summaries contribute weighted votes. Dominance is defined by a vote fraction $\ge 50\%$.

Failure criterion.

No configuration reaches majority dominance.

Result.

The configuration $(\gamma,\mathrm{rep})=(0.10,0)$ dominates across sweeps.

$$\textbf{P4: PASSED}$$

WWW.7 Prediction P5 — Forced failure test

Statement.

If a core term of the score is deliberately removed, the winner must change.

Test.

The flatness term is removed from the score:

$$S_{\text{broken}} = \mu_v \cdot \log(1+\Sigma_0).$$

The resulting winner is compared to the baseline.

Failure criterion.

If the winner remains unchanged, the term is not structurally necessary.

Result.

The winner changes under forced removal.

$$\textbf{P5: PASSED}$$

WWW.8 Summary of falsification outcomes

All tested predictions satisfy their respective criteria. No falsification events are detected under the tested conditions.

\beginquote Result: No falsification detected under tested conditions. \endquote

This result does not imply universal validity. It establishes that, within the explored parameter space and uncertainty model, the framework is internally consistent, predictive, and non-fragile.

WWW.9 Status

Appendix WWW completes the validation loop by explicitly enumerating and testing falsifiable predictions. All tests are reproducible, auditable, and machine-verifiable.
