PHILIA-EcoSensory Swarm Phase SC-8 Results Report: Independent Replication of AC1 Dose-Response Monotonicity and Substrate-Family Moderation Test Across n=182 Substrates

Key Points

To independently replicate AC1 dose-response monotonicity and test substrate-family moderation across various substrates.
Conducted a pre-registered confirmatory analysis with n=182 substrates across four families.
Applied the locked v32 self-raw × 3-channel normalization apparatus with T=80,000 steps/run.
Used Bonferroni correction for testing two main hypotheses.
Confirmed perfect 7/7 monotone decrease for RealWorld substrates with Spearman ρ=−1.000.
Did not confirm Fisher-z family moderation hypothesis, with observed |Z|=1.770 and |Δρ|=0.346.
Exploratory finding showed Traffic+Environment with ρ=+0.870, while Cochran's Q yielded Q=7.92, p=0.048.

Abstract

We report the results of PHILIA Phase SC-8, a pre-registered confirmatory analysis applying the locked v32 self-raw × 3-channel normalization apparatus to n=182 substrates across four families (RealWorld n=90, Synthetic n=44, Physics n=18, Financial n=30) under independent seeds 67–71 (T=80, 000 steps/run, 910 total runs). Two hypotheses were tested under Bonferroni correction (αₚer=0. 025, k=2). H-SC8-Primary (RealWorld n=90 standalone AC1 θ-sweep 7/7 binary monotonicity, no escape clause): CONFIRMED. Perfect 7/7 monotone decrease (ρ: 0. 848→0. 831→0. 822→0. 691→0. 651→0. 609→0. 513→0. 439). SA-1 Jonckheere-Terpstra: Z=+3. 464, p=0. 000266. SA-2 Spearman ρ=−1. 000. First pre-registered independent replication of SC-7 Criterion B under new seeds 67–71. H-SC8-Secondary (Fisher-z family moderation: RealWorld vs Synthetic, AC1<0. 95 stratum; conjoint |Z|≥2. 241 AND |Δρ|≥0. 40): NOT CONFIRMED. Observed |Z|=1. 770 and |Δρ|=0. 346. Consistent with pre-registration L-7 and L-8 (estimated power=0. 25 at Δρ=0. 40 boundary). Exploratory findings: Traffic+Environment ρ=+0. 870 (SC-7: +0. 875) ; AR (1) φ-sweep ρ=−0. 971 (SC-2: −0. 9636) ; 4-family Cochran's Q=7. 92, p=0. 048. Zero pre-registration violations. Chain-of-custody SHA256 3-tier verified (registry → measure → confirmatory). 5-AI adversarial review pipeline (Seonbi / Chris / Pandora / Lucas / Seogsaeng): Gate-0 v10 UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPT.
