The correction

I justified former_name="GF-T{N}" by claiming arXiv:2606.05017 and arXiv:2606.09686 cite the old name. They do not.

paper reality
arXiv:2606.05017 the binary GF family. Its source docs/arxiv-submission/trinity-gf16.tex contains zero occurrences of "GF-T"
arXiv:2606.09686 this catalog — and the only commit introducing an id=gft row is 684817eea, dated 2026-08-09. Mine.

The ladder has never been published under either name.

Why it matters

The rename retracts nothing and breaks no citation, and was cheaper than I described it two commits ago. That is a materially different situation from the one I asserted, and it was load-bearing in the header text, the gate's failure message and the NOW entry.

former_name= stays — but for internal continuity only: research notes, prior branches, and the author's CV and profile carry the old label, and this campaign's measurements against takum / tekum / posit were recorded under it. The gate says that now instead of citing papers that do not cite us.

Two other things in the same header

  • It had been mangled by an earlier string replacement of mine, which joined two sentences into one.
  • It did not state why the name claims the encoding and not the radix: a genuine ternary-radix float measures 0.331 positions per number worse at equal width, so claiming radix 3 would claim the one thing this format declines.

Both fixed, along with the standing warning that a gft* glob swallows gfternary — which has already cost this repository a deleted spec and a dropped pack index entry.

cite the old name. They do not, and the correction matters because it changes what
the rename cost.

2606.05017 is the binary GF family; its source, docs/arxiv-submission/trinity-gf16.tex,
contains zero occurrences of "GF-T". 2606.09686 is this catalog, and the only commit
introducing an id=gft row is from 2026-08-09 -- mine. The ladder has never been
published under either name.

So the rename retracts nothing and breaks no citation, and was cheaper than I
described. former_name= stays, but for internal continuity only: research notes,
prior branches and the author's CV and profile carry the old label, and this
campaign's measurements against takum/tekum/posit were recorded under it. The
gate's message says that now instead of citing papers that do not cite us.

Two other things in the same header. It was mangled by an earlier string
replacement, which joined two sentences into one, and it did not state the reason
the name claims the encoding rather than the radix: a genuine ternary-radix float
measures 0.331 positions per number worse at equal width, so claiming radix 3
would claim the thing this format declines. Both fixed, along with the standing
warning that a gft* glob swallows gfternary -- which has already cost a deleted
spec and a dropped index entry.

Prop. 35 split one module's suite and gained a 2.9x deeper bound. Splitting the
20-property engine set the same way does not work, and why is the useful part.

Each engine property isolated at -seq 80 with a 240s budget gave 8 of 20 proved.
That reads like a depth map until you notice a_sanity is in the undecided group,
and a_sanity is assert (bram_addr == bram_addr) -- a tautology, which has no
depth.

With a real budget the tautology proves in 276.2s and the hardest cross-layer
property in 299.2s. Eight percent apart. At -seq 80 the engine costs about 280s
to unroll and solve regardless of what is asserted; the 240s budget cut across
that plateau and which properties landed on which side was near-arbitrary.

The dichotomy: weight_prefetch_ctrl's cheapest-to-dearest ratio is 436x and
splitting gained 2.9x depth; the engine's is 1.08x and splitting gains nothing.
Splitting pays exactly when members differ in cost. Where one property
dominates, isolating it removes the others from a shared instance. Where the
model is the expense, splitting buys attribution and no depth.

The diagnostic is one run: time a tautology. If a trivially true assertion costs
what a real one costs, the model is the bottleneck.

And "8 of 20 proved at -seq 80" is true while inviting the false reading that
those 8 are deeper. All 20 prove given time. A partition produced by a timeout
is a partition of the timeout, not of the subject.

Suite 1213 passed, 0 failed. Seals 496/496.

Closes #2012
