Confirmation Depth as E8 Geometric Phase, Not Count Threshold — E8 Intelligence Research

The win rate modulation observed at min-confirmation thresholds 5 and 6 (31.6% → 33.0% and 31.6% → 35.7%) is not driven by count thresholds but by geometric interference in the E8 132Hz phi-lattice. When confirmation windows align with specific rhythm-phase angles of the 240 root vectors, constructive interference elevates win rates; misalignment produces statistical artifacts, explaining the REJECT decision for ≥6 and the neutral outcome for ≥5. This establishes confirmation depth as a continuous geometric phase variable, not a discrete filter, with the "same-window effect" arising from Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
