PHILIA OS Phase 2 — Input Scaling Layer Validation: Rank Normalization Results Report (95th DOI)

This document constitutes the 95th DOI of the PHILIA OS research series (Trinity AI Research Team, Konyang University), reporting the confirmatory results of the Phase 2 Input Scaling Layer pre-registration (94th DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.21188723). CORE QUESTION: Can Rank normalization — as the input scaling layer of the locked CEI minimal engine (Port A) — maintain discriminative capability across all 188 registered substrates while recovering the 40 substrates that produced oscillation loss under min-max normalization? CONFIRMATORY RESULTS (seeds 10–19, 1,880 runs):- H-94-Primary: NOT CONFIRMED — 9/20 (45%) of Chaos-family substrates outside the pre-registered AR(1) boundary (seq_AC1 < −0.010 OR SD1/SD2 > 1.011); threshold ≥50% missed by two seed-sensitive flips (halvorsen, rabinovich_fabrikant).- H-94-Secondary: CONFIRMED — ΔR² = 0.2706 beyond AC1+MSE; F(8,177) = 11.04, p ≈ 0 (5.4× the pre-registered threshold of 0.05).- Measurement completeness: 188/188 (100%); oscillation loss fully resolved; AR1 false positives: 0/26. NON-PRE-REGISTERED APPENDICES:- Active Sensing Exploration (§5): mul_self α=0.5 identified as candidate valid condition (Chaos 60%, AR1 FP=0/26, pending 96th DOI confirmation).- AESA Multi-Port Exploration Briefing (§6): conceptual engineering analogy for multi-port CEI architecture (Port B/C/D draft); team review requested. SHA256 (confirmatory): f44098fb1d635ee1e71d8d43bff6fb24ba0d1ddc185952dc50a4166f6e082f12SHA256 (active sensing): 752286c4073a9103cc8b05e5cf39ae266c2fd001bfa032cd3a79580face200e3 Pre-registration violations: 0 | Cumulative self-corrections: 27 | Gate-0 (Chris / Claude Opus): Confirmatory script UNCONDITIONAL PASS; Active sensing script PASS (2 non-blocking documentation corrections).
