QUESTION: Which treatment raises the synthetic response after blocking? KERNEL THEOREMS: balance of all shifts; counts; coverage; additive integer identity. ASSUMPTIONS: additive effects; iid Gaussian noise; fixed nuisance levels. PROVIDER: deterministic-residual-rule/v1 (no AI inference) ROUND 1 · NUMERICAL CALCULATION FROM 16 SYNTHETIC OBSERVATIONS Residual RMS: 1.172399; residual df: 6. Additive assumption: challenged. T1 − T0: 1.019578; conditional 95% CI [-2.292977, 4.332134]. T2 − T0: 1.959773; conditional 95% CI [-1.352782, 5.272328]. T3 − T0: 4.851390; conditional 95% CI [1.538835, 8.163945]. conditional on additive model and iid Gaussian noise; model challenged: intervals are diagnostic only REVISED QUESTION · UNVERIFIED PROPOSAL Is the treatment-3 contrast row-dependent under complete column coverage? Reason: Observed residual RMS 1.172 exceeds 0.900. Validated follow-up shifts: 1, 2, 3 FOLLOW-UP · 48 NEW SYNTHETIC OBSERVATIONS Combined N: 64; residual RMS: 1.445516. T3 − T0 by row, with all four columns represented in each mean: Row 0: 3.208810 Row 1: 3.286240 Row 2: 2.910443 Row 3: 10.768962 NEXT QUESTION · UNVERIFIED PROPOSAL Which row conditions modify the treatment-3 effect, and does that pattern replicate with independent blocks? This is an unverified proposal. SYNTHETIC EVIDENCE ONLY: neither efficacy nor model assumptions are proved. PROVENANCE: see manifest.json, observations.json, summary.json and proof-audit.txt.
