Abstract

Paper 14 of the Interior Observer (IO) cosmological framework subjects three potential structural vulnerabilities to exhaustive multi-AI adversarial investigation. Kill Shot B (frame dependence of the spectral norm) survives ten rounds: the 3D spectral norm ||A||/||Γ|| is frame-dependent as warned, but the S²-restricted gauge scalar Kgauge = ln (1+γ²) admits a horizon-intrinsic reformulation, is SU (2) gauge-invariant via the quadratic Casimir, and is the unique dimensionless gauge-invariant scalar constructible from the pulled-back horizon connection data. The transfer identification σ = Kgauge is analogous to β = 2π/κ in Hawking temperature, though requiring the Ashtekar-Barbero gauge sector beyond standard Bisognano-Wichmann. Fifteen competing mechanisms are systematically eliminated. Kill Shot A (Nₑff = Δ closure) survives three rounds: the self-consistency fixed point is dead, but the CMB acoustic scale selects N = Δ to 0. 18% precision with zero continuously tunable fit parameters. Kill Shot C (H₀ from V (α) ) reduces to the status of Kill Shots B and A in one round — H₀ is a composite observable with no independent projection. The adversarial review reduces the framework's open content to two clearly identified non-derived elements: the GTTP source identification σ = Kgauge and the curvature closure Nₑff = Δ. Neither is hidden; both are sharply constrained. The framework predicts Ωₖ = −0. 006, testable by Euclid-class measurements, and determines γBI = 0. 23789 from FIRAS data (0. 16% from canonical LQG). Six of seven non-lithium observables are within 2σ of observation with zero continuously tunable fit parameters. v1. 5,: Lithium correction per Paper 12 v3. 4. The ⁷Li/H value has been updated from ~3. 1 × 10⁻¹⁰ (+5. 1σ) to ~4. 8 × 10⁻¹⁰ (+10. 6σ), reflecting the Paper 12 Baryon Dictionary Principle baryon density (η₁₀ = 6. 19). Both IO and ΛCDM (+10. 3σ) fail comparably on lithium. No other results affected.
