Model adoption rejects integrating a frequency-domain filter into a timing strategy, suggesting minimal impact.
DECISION: REJECT ELEMENT: The 1.618 Hz phi-lock oscillator is not a concrete, testable edge compatible with E8 geometry timing. It is a frequency-domain filter applied to a preprocessor, not a timing or entry rule. The E8 model already uses sacred geometry for entry timing (15s-7m targets set before entry). Injecting a fixed-frequency oscillator (1.618 Hz) into the preprocessor would override or conflict with the existing phase-locked loop that is already tuned to E8 rhythm logic (Gods-Clock). The damping factor 0.618 is mathematically elegant but untested against the existing damping coefficients in the E8-node. The proposal lacks a precise rule for *when* to inject, *how* to blend with existing pattern recognition, and *what* specific signal change triggers an entry/exit modification. It is a parameter tweak, not a strategy. EXPECTED IMPACT: Negligible to negative. The claimed 0.3-0.8% PnL delta is speculative and based on a small sample (7 trades).
