Operational Temporality in TER: Experimental Programme and Locked Initial Results

This paper consolidates the current experiment-facing line on operational temporality in TER. Its aim is not to claim a final measurement theory of Synkyrian time, but to record a disciplined experimental programme together with the locked initial results already obtained. The paper integrates the conceptual rationale for operational temporal indicators, their TER-facing role, the minimal pilot logic, and the currently locked Pilot-0, Pilot-1a, and Pilot-1b sequence. The main restrained conclusion is twofold. First, elapsed duration alone does not determine the operational temporal structure of TER runs. Second, in the present analyzable run family, a shared runtime regime boundary exists across policies, but only the Synkyrian policy translates that boundary into a refusal surface. The paper is intended as the experiment-facing extension of the broader Synkyrian temporal line and should be read alongside the canonical note Temporal Stratification and Operational Time in Synkyria (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19654470), its short theoretical companion (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19655525), and the gateway note What Operational Time Is and Why It Matters (DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19663077).
