๐ŸŽฏ Orthogonal

Does this feature tell us something no existing feature already tells us? Established empirically on real bars, never from the estimator's paper. The cross-asset / cross-regime sweep lives HERE (Terry msg 429 step 3) โ€” it is the orthogonality substrate, not the agnostic test.

Honest limits (why PASS โ‰  proof yet)

Verdict contract (what the gate reads)

Two accepted evidence dialects: (1) the probe summary โ€” PASS when min_regime_pass_rate โ‰ฅ 1.0 (holds in every regime epoch); (2) campaign/spike per-cell records via campaign_summary_adapter.py โ€” worst-valid-cell over โ€–ฯโ€– + panel-Rยฒ + h_norm, stored labels re-derived from raw numbers, WATCH honest non-promotable. No evidence โ‡’ PENDING, never a faked pass.

Distribution view โ€” (worst, W1) (2026-06-13, report-only)

The verdict collapses 208 cells to the single worst (an Lโˆž view: "redundant somewhere?"). Beside it we now report Wasserstein-1 to the zero-redundancy ideal โ€” the L1 complement: "redundant everywhere?". On [0,1] scores, W1 reduces exactly to the mean of the per-cell scores (Vallender 1974) โ€” auditable, computed through scipy and identity-asserted.

Same worst, different story (real entropy-spike data):
bar_svd_entropy โ€” worst |ฯ| 0.97 / W1 0.53 โ†’ a regime-local spike.
bar_permutation_entropy โ€” worst |ฯ| 0.97 / W1 0.77 โ†’ redundant broadly.
Worst-cell alone cannot separate them; W1 does. Both stay BAN โ€” W1 never gates, it only explains the worst.
