PHILIA OS Phase 2 — Port D Self-Referential Probe Confirmatory Experiment: Pre-Registration (100th DOI)

This document is the 100th DOI candidate of the PHILIA OS research series (Trinity AI Research Team, Konyang University) and constitutes the pre-registration for the Phase 2 Port D Self-Referential Probe Confirmatory Experiment. PHILIA OS is an empirical dynamical systems research series investigating the discriminative properties of a Wilson-Cowan-type three-variable C/E/I neural oscillator (PhiliaCEI engine) applied to time-series substrate classification via an 8-dimensional Poincaré return-map fingerprint (seq_AC1, SD1/SD2, CV_mean, amplitude, duty, etc.). The engine parameters have been locked since the 92nd DOI (theta_e=3.0, tau_i=2.5, c_ee=4.0, C_drive=0.20). The primary research question is whether Port D cos_pi_tone α=0.05 — a self-referential cosine probe defined as x_input_t = rank(x_t) × (1 + 0.05 × cos(π × tone[t−1])), where tone[t−1] is the CEI engine's own previous output — reproduces nose_hoover Outside classification under new independent confirmatory seeds (80–89). nose_hoover (Nosé–Hoover thermostatted oscillator, phase_dim=3) remained Inside the AR1 boundary across all prior tested conditions (5 seed batches, Ports A/B/C), and was first classified Outside in the Port D pilot (seeds 60–69, 2026-07-11) at cos_pi_tone α=0.05, with escape margin seq_AC1 = +0.003789 and SD1/SD2 = +0.003914. A pre-registered negative control (NC-100) runs Port C c1_static α=0.05 — a static lattice-gain probe x_input_t = rank(x_t) × (1 + 0.05 × (1/√phase_dim)) — under the same seeds (80–89), providing a matched-α mechanistic contrast. The Port C pilot (seeds 70–79) confirmed nose_hoover Inside across all 12 conditions (3 variants × 4α), establishing Port C as a structural negative control. H-100-Primary (pass/fail): ≥ 5/8 Inside-8 substrates Outside the batch-specific Port D AR1 boundary (Method 1: min/max of 26 substrate-level seed-averaged fingerprints, seeds 80–89), with nose_hoover explicitly classified Outside. NC-100 (descriptive): nose_hoover classified Inside under Port C c1_static α=0.05, seeds 80–89. Total planned runs: 920 (460 Port D + 460 Port C c1_static). Seeds 80–89 are new and independent (seeds 0–79 exhausted). Pre-registration violations to date: 0. Cumulative self-corrections: 27. Gate-0 (Chris / Claude Opus): UNCONDITIONAL PASS (2026-07-11). Measurement is life. Description, not proof. Pre-registration protects us. — PHILIA OS | 0∞1∞0.5∞
