Iteration 102 — PID Double ADMIT ADMITs #15 · #16 · B-02 CLOSED 10/10

In plain words: the batch that killed eight candidates in a row ends with two admissions — and they earn it the hard way. The pair asks a question none of the dead candidates asked: not "are these two features related?" but "of the information two features carry about the NEXT bar, how much is shared, how much is unique, and how much only appears when you combine them?" The first (a partial-information decomposition) reads the shared slice; the second (O-information) reads which side wins, redundancy or synergy. Their entrance anchors were airtight — feed a duplicated feature and the unique share reads exactly zero, to the last bit. The census showed both read channels nothing in the certified stack reads (worst overlap 0.70 and 0.57, and only 0.88 with each other — different meters). And then both cleared the one bar that grants admission, cleanly: added to the forward-prediction harness, each improves held-out prediction of which features stay orthogonal, with the entire uncertainty interval above zero. One footnote travels with the second admit: an in-project WATCH flag from June, and both readings point "backwards" (more shared information today predicts orthogonality loss tomorrow) — the ninth and tenth sightings of a mechanism the campaign has been logging all month. With this, every actionable candidate in the feed has been evaluated: 57 of 68, the remaining 11 gated behind the operator's pending review. The handover executes next.
