QEC Invariant Compendium: Baseline Equivalence, Trace-Indexed Reuse, Decoder Pipelines, and Dark-State Observables

This compendium presents four revised studies of deterministic computation, reusable intermediate results, and transformation invariants in belief-propagation diagnostics and quantum error-correction software. It connects earlier QSOL-IMC preprints with commit-pinned QEC source s...

Autonomous Engineering Under Bounded Authority: A Five-Pull-Request Case Study of Agent Self-Correction, Interruption Recovery, and Evidence-Governed Integration

This archival technical report documents a five-pull-request QSOL-IBAE engineering mission comprising a defensive v0.5 prerequisite and v0.6A-v0.6D. It separates independently checked GitHub merge/release identities from mission-report attestations, offline synthetic conformance...

Schrödinger's USB: A Phenomenological Investigation of Orientation Uncertainty, Observer-Induced Failure, and the Three-Attempt Principle in Universal Serial Bus Connectivity

A satirical methods paper that gives the familiar USB three-try joke a formally specified classical explanation. Under the narrated sequence, a plug fails, is flipped, fails again, and succeeds after returning to its original orientation. The paper proves that a fixed determinist...
