PHILIA OS Phase 2 — Active Sensing Confirmatory Experiment: Pre-Registration (96th DOI)

This document constitutes the 96th DOI of the PHILIA OS research series (Trinity AI Research Team, Konyang University), serving as the pre-registration for the Phase 2 Active Sensing Confirmatory Experiment. The central question: does mul_self α=0.5 — identified as a candidate valid active sensing condition in the 95th DOI non-pre-registered exploratory appendix (seeds 0–9, Chaos 12/20 = 60%, AR1 FP=0/26) — reproduce Chaos ≥ 50% outside the recalibrated AR(1) boundary with AR1 false positive rate = 0/26 under independent confirmatory seeds (20–29)? Two pre-registered hypotheses:H-96-Primary: ≥ 50% of Chaos-family substrates (n=20) outside the recalibrated mul_self AR1 boundary under Track 1 (T=40,000, seeds 20–29).H-96-Secondary: AR1 false positive rate = 0/26 under the recalibrated boundary and independent confirmatory seeds. Two-track design (Gate-0 recommendation):Track 1 (Pre-registered Confirmatory): T=40,000 steps — direct replication of 95th DOI Active Sensing finding. Sole basis for hypothesis judgment.Track 2 (Non-Pre-Registered Exploratory Appendix): T=substrate full length — investigates full-trajectory measurement effect on discriminability. Results inform 97th DOI direction only. Target substrates: Chaos 20 + AR-family 26 = 46 substrates (SC-13 registry subset). Seeds 20–29 (independent from all prior experiments). Engine: PhiliaCEI_PortA (Port A LOCKED: theta_e=3.0, tau_i=2.5, c_ee=4.0, C_drive=0.20). Pre-registration violations: 0. Cumulative self-corrections: 27.Gate-0 (Chris / Claude Opus): UNCONDITIONAL PASS (2026-07-06). DOI lineage: 95th results (10.5281/zenodo.21202952) → 96th pre-registration (this document). Measurement is life. Description, not proof. Pre-registration protects us.— PHILIA OS | 0∞1∞0.5∞Trinity AI Research Team | Konyang University | July 2026
