CDN-352: The Gate Margin Ledger

Key Points

This research investigates the impact of uncertainty accounting on external measurement decisions using a defined scoring system.
Introduced uncertainty accounting to the existing CDN-351 measurement gate framework.
Calculated decision scores utilizing parameters of Theta and T_required for various cap-error profiles.
Analyzed outcomes across strong anchor scenarios and their effects on gate resolution.
Positive decision score S leads to opening the strict P(20/20) gate, while negative S results in closure.
The strong anchor closed the strict gate at z=-7.55 for tight profiles and z=-2.64 for moderate profiles.
Ambiguity is maintained around boundary-touching gates as per the defined scoring resolution.

Abstract

CDN-352 adds uncertainty accounting to the CDN-351 external measurement gate. The decision score is S = Theta - Tᵣequired (C, R): positive S opens the strict P (20/20) gate, negative S closes it, and S/sigmaS determines whether the call is resolved or ambiguous. Under illustrative cap-error profiles, the strong anchor closes strict P (20/20) at z=-7. 55 for the tight profile and z=-2. 64 for the moderate profile, while boundary-touching gates remain intentionally ambiguous. The locked result is GATEMARGINERRORBUDGETLOCKED.
