MIsCORE–RIUD: Paper II Connected Multiscale Paths in Gravitational-Wave Post-Model Data

MIsCORE–RIUD: Paper II extends the RIUD observational lineage from recurrent local morphology to connected multiscale paths in gravitational-wave post-model data. The study reconstructs a 68-execution development record spanning path construction, scorer-bias audits, frozen replay, raw-strain projection, nuisance calibration, detector-coherence tests, selector-aware phase analysis, physical-attribution audits, reacquisition, and computational reproduction. The canonical frozen population contains 13 events, 172 locked path nodes, and 26 H1/L1 raw-strain files. After the path coordinates were frozen, no second raw-domain search was permitted: the residual-derived paths were projected directly into raw H1/L1 strain. The primary equal-weight fixed-path statistic was 1.171221, with 0/100,000 empirical-null exceedances and plus-one p = 9.9999 × 10⁻⁶. Every leave-one-event-out replay remained supported, and the result persisted under no-notch conditioning and locked-coordinate ablation. A separate 62,400-job nuisance program constrained several predeclared coherent and independent artifact families while retaining weaker H1-only and L1-only transient alternatives. A distinct selector-aware complex-phase analysis also produced 0/100,000 exceedances under its conditional randomization null. The stricter eventwise detector-coherence criterion and simple physical-attribution tests remained negative, preserving the claim boundary rather than being overwritten by the population result. The Paper-II endpoint is therefore deliberately bounded: a frozen residual-derived multiscale path population receives fixed-coordinate support in raw H1/L1 strain, while unique physical origin and exhaustive detector-artifact closure remain unresolved.
