computational indicators only · not sentience · not a QPU
Entity adapters, null separation, ablation receipts, and deterministic JSON feed. Butlin 8/14 met + 6/14 partial; lab headline index fails null discrimination; coupling ~0.27. A-Life breadth #1/155 (3.80 code-grounded) is a separate comparative instrument — see verification ledger.
The repository-preregistered descendant retains all 1,152 raw rows over 64 frozen seeds. Ordinary organisms and Petri biologics passed inference but missed the fixed magnitude floor. The adaptive ecology predictor lost to frozen and shuffled controls. Titans alone passed, authorizing bounded game-policy semantic causality on the frozen diplomacy task.
One family pass is not an overall V4 pass. This is bounded task behavior, not sentience or phenomenal consciousness. Numeric scores remain frozen; no ordinary recurrent benefit, adaptive prediction, Petri causality, neural scaling, pooled cross-family result, substrate-specific uplift, or quantum-specific uplift is authorized. The V3 predecessor remains available for audit.
