Verification

I checked all ten axes, their units, findings, evidence bases and coverage notes in the memory profile against the handed analyst records. The scope concerns state retained through use within one life, not the capture file, static primitive definitions or unsupported restart persistence. Proposed code reuse, teacher protection and circular overwrite remain documentary alternatives. Every positive uses claimed strength; attributed experimental operation does not upgrade a finding to wired, observed or causally supported.

  • Storage substrate and representational form: the work array, live policy table, stack and external variable array support in-memory storage and symbolic consumption. Grouping parts with the same substrate or fixed symbolic interpretation does not conceal a different form. The localized probability entries are not distributed-parametric simply because they are numerical policy parameters. The profile does not classify the maze's underlying retained state from its displayed integer observations (RT-OBJ-work-area, RT-CMP-probability-distributions, RT-OBJ-stack, MEM-OBJ-variable-array, EPI-OBJ-input-cells).
  • Lineage: input supply supports imported quantities; GetP scaling, numerical initialization, modifier computation and distribution copying support other-compiled paths. Saved outcome/time and modification bookkeeping support trace-extracted history. These classifications distinguish snapshot payload from event metadata and preserve uncertainty about arbitrary integer provenance and navigation representation (EPI-RTE-input-supply, MEM-RTE-getp-read, RT-RTE-self-modification, RT-OBJ-stack).
  • Behavioral authority: each positive identifies retained content and a consequential consumer. Pi weights and selects code at the sampler; GetP and inputs supply reference data; addressed operands route computation; historical baselines supply evidence, learning input and comparative admission criteria with an enforced rejection consequence. Stack pointers route grouping/restoration. External values supply data to Read and scoring, and their score feeds policy retention. Proposed reused code supplies executable directions. These are distinct effects rather than a blanket inference from storage or learning. Arbitrary work-cell roles and navigation consumers keep the axis partial (RT-BAP-probability-selection, MEM-RTE-getp-read, EPI-RTE-rate-comparison, RT-RTE-credit-assignment, MEM-RTE-variable-readback, WF-RTE-variable-cycle, RT-OBJ-program-area).
  • Write agency: initialization, task input delivery, GetP, modifiers, stack saving, keep/restore and external writes/resets have software admission without a per-content human decision. The separately proposed teacher protection supports manual control only for that override. Programmer task design is not misclassified as approval of each subsequent write. Grouped base operations have the same documented control and coverage; unresolved navigation admission remains explicit (RT-RTE-self-modification, RT-RTE-credit-assignment, EPI-RTE-input-supply, MEM-RTE-getp-read, WF-RTE-variable-cycle, RT-CLM-usefulness-invariant).
  • Curation operations: entry revision supports evolve. Popping recovery history, forgetting rejected direct changes, external zero replacement and proposed oldest-history overwrite support decay at claimed strength. The records do not establish a history-preserving invalidation ledger, reduced-claim consolidation or novel-claim synthesis. Unspecified work/navigation transformations are unresolved rather than absent (RT-RTE-self-modification, RT-RTE-credit-assignment, RT-OBJ-stack, MEM-OBJ-variable-array).
  • Read-back direction and signal: primitive operand reads, GetP and external Read fulfill requests and support pull. Automatic policy supply, enabled stack evaluation, periodic whole-array scoring and proposed prior-code reuse support push at their respective operations. IP selects the associated policy; first pointers select grouped historical records; repeated program addresses identify prior code. Positional stack availability and periodic whole-array selection support coarse selection. The restoration address is not the sole warrant for stack identifier selection: the grouping pointers also select retained history. Pull addresses are not counted as push signals, and unresolved alternatives remain unresolved (RT-RTE-instruction-cycle, MEM-RTE-getp-read, MEM-RTE-variable-readback, RT-RTE-credit-assignment, RT-OBJ-stack, WF-RTE-variable-cycle, RT-OBJ-program-area).
  • Trace learning and trace source: the recorded payoff/time baselines feed automatic keep/restore, producing durable in-life policy state consumed by later sampling. This satisfies the profile's trace-fed write definition without requiring a transcript, a novel proposition or demonstrated improvement. Discrete payoff and modification/timing events support event-streams; the records do not establish linked state-action-outcome sequences as the input to this qualifying route. Unresolved modifier operands and other possible writes prevent a complete source inventory, not the local positive (RT-OBJ-stack, EPI-RTE-rate-comparison, RT-RTE-credit-assignment, RT-BAP-probability-selection, WF-RTE-variable-cycle).

The handed reconciliation supersedes EPI-RTE-getp-read with MEM-RTE-getp-read; the profile uses the canonical route and retains its distinct output, EPI-OBJ-getp-values. The input and snapshot parts do not invalidate the work-area container. The transient rate predicate is appropriately excluded from retained-memory scope (EPI-OBJ-rate-comparison). No unresolved cross-report conflict alters a classification.

All axes remain partial, while individual known units describe documentary classification rather than complete implementation coverage. The unresolved navigation representation, arbitrary histories, exact external Read destination and unobserved exercise are already beside the affected findings. Those uncertainties do not invalidate the positive classifications. No emitted absence, stronger evidence basis or complete system inventory requires withdrawal. No refusal or profile correction answers were supplied. Source-read log: none; the supplied records resolve the classification questions without direct capture inspection.
