Round 4 Gate-A style audit and crosswalk
Role: coordinator audit of STYLE_01_INTRODUCTION.md through STYLE_10_DISCUSSION_CONCLUSION.md. This is style/architecture control, not manuscript prose, scientific evidence, artifact approval, or a section freeze.
Overall Gate-A result: PASS. All ten style memos pass after the four targeted corrections. This file records the coordinator re-audit only.
1. Scope and complete coverage ledger
read is not independently verified or artifact-audited. mapped is not read. External literature is style evidence only; internal claims remain controlled by repository authorities, manifests, immutable artifacts, the Round-2 freeze, and audited Round-3 dossiers.
| State | Inputs | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
read |
All Round-4 controls: README.md, 00_MASTER_AGENT_PROMPT.md, 00_GLOBAL_DECISION_LEDGER.md, 00_DISPLAY_EQUATION_INVENTORY.md, 00_QUALITY_GATE.md |
Complete workflow/decision control set; not scientific verification |
read |
All ten style memos, each in full | Style observations, recommendations, identities/read levels, interfaces and anti-patterns; no memo is internal scientific authority |

R3 00_MODULE_INTERFACE_LEDGER.md, 00_QUALITY_GATE.md, 11_FINAL_CONSISTENCY_AUDIT.md |
Readiness, ownership, near-collisions, blockers and assembly controls; no recomputation |
mapped |
R3 Modules 01–10; authorities/manifests/artifacts they name |
Scientific detail remains with its owner; no mapped item is promoted to read or verified |
mapped |
Literature records declared by the memos/R2 guide | Identity/read-level audit only; no new literature search or PDF reading |
not-covered |
New literature; raw arrays/hashes; CFD, training, SR, CCD or OID recomputation; experiment analysis; figures; manuscript drafting | Outside Gate A; no citation, internal number, panel, or prose inferred |
external-inaccessible |
Hidden/symlink payloads, model bundles, dense fields/theory arrays, raw experiment media | Authority-led artifact deferral; retained dependent panels/claims remain gated |
Observed comparator order, cadence and caveat practice come from the memos' declared full-PDF, full-report, mapped, or abstract/snippet literature states. Project scope, terminology, results and readiness come only from internal controls and owning authorities.
2. Gate-A result by memo
| Memo | Result | Exact reason | Targeted correction |
|---|---|---|---|
STYLE_01_INTRODUCTION.md |
PASS | Four exact DOI records and declared PDF-version limits; complete controlling reads; observed practice and recommendation separated; section-specific jobs, caveats, bridges and anti-patterns; no project value invented | None; retain publisher-version caveat and freeze Introduction last |
STYLE_02_CONTRACTS_METRICS.md |
PASS | Four exact identities/DOIs/read levels; sampled comparator-first practice is not universalized; complete controls and owner inputs; precise display/equation/qualification ceiling | None; retain selected-observable qualification, not broad validation |
STYLE_03_CAPABILITY_FIGURE.md |
PASS | Four exact identities/DOIs/read levels; non-pooled hierarchy, caption/body split, local failure, readiness and fallbacks are explicit; no quantitative annotation invented | None; panel selection stays discuss, blocked content omitted |
STYLE_04_KARMAN_PERFORMANCE.md |
PASS | Four exact identities/DOIs/read levels; scalar-first literature practice is distinguished from authority-led L2-first recommendation; M04/M06 and Legacy/V5 boundaries explicit | None. Its first-pass revise label reflects no-self-freeze, not a Gate-A content defect |
STYLE_05_SR_LAW.md |
PASS | Required R2/R3 controls are now read, and panel status, ownership and Kármán/cloak-only scope are reconciled without changing the claim ceiling | None; targeted controlling-read correction verified |
STYLE_06_FIELD_CCD.md |
PASS | Three exact full-PDF identities plus one exact mapped/inaccessible record; read levels are not inflated; mean-before-modes, non-pairing, fixed terminology, POD boundary and M04/M06 separation explicit | None; keep Noack et al. (2016) mapped unless full text is read |
STYLE_07_CROSS_CASE.md |
PASS | The Wang et al. author identity and DOI are corrected; structure, evidence boundaries and scientific recommendation are unchanged | None; targeted bibliographic correction verified |
STYLE_08_STEADY_THEORY.md |
PASS | Four exact DOI-bearing full-PDF records; controls, owner dossier and relevant theory authorities read; observation, outer reference, failed route and recommendation distinct; MFS/mechanism ceilings correct | None; preserve blocked MFS field and one-circle/sign-failure fallback |
STYLE_09_EXPERIMENT.md |
PASS | The display/equation inventory is now read, and experiment displays retain explicit author-supply gates and prose/omission fallbacks without promoting an observation | None; targeted inventory reconciliation verified |
STYLE_10_DISCUSSION_CONCLUSION.md |
PASS | The Deng et al. and Cornejo Maceda author forms now match the controlling identities; architecture and scientific recommendation are unchanged | None; targeted identity corrections verified |
No memo uses literature to establish an internal result, and no memo invents a new internal number. The corrected defects were limited to exact identity and control-coverage bookkeeping; they do not alter scientific claims.
3. Shared versus section-specific JFM practice
Shared observed practice
- A target, baseline, reference role or simpler controller is legible before interpretation; extensions renew comparators locally.
- Evidence escalates from contract to principal result to richer spatial/modal interpretation; strong vocabulary follows dedicated tests.
- One paragraph and one display normally carry one main argumentative job.
- Captions decode roles, conditions and panels; body text states inference, limit and consequence.
- Dangerous limitations sit beside affected results and may be compressed again in Discussion.
- Equations define immediately/repeatedly used objects; figures carry empirical burden; tables compress contracts or comparable rows.
- Bridges pose the unresolved scientific question rather than announce a section number.
- Negative routes remain visible to motivate refinement or define the envelope.
Section-specific practice
- Introduction: compact funnel; clustered citations; no equations or detailed project results; subsections only for genuine taxonomy.
- Contracts: dependency order from plant/baseline through objective, metrics and qualification; tables expose contract shifts.
- Capability: one dominant comparator-bearing case anchors breadth; panel order/area express hierarchy; no common score.
- Performance: exact comparator and principal result precede interpretation; field and signal estimands stay separate.
- SR: variables, objective and deployment precede law; execution arbitrates; deletion is not causal ablation.
- Field/CCD: mean/scalar estimand precedes residual/modes; POD is a same-object boundary, not a superiority foil.
- Cross-case: change one contract dimension where possible; renew comparator; label visual-only and negative evidence locally.
- Steady/theory: late context is narrower than a second climax; attractive theory and failed sign/closure stay adjacent.
- Experiment: apparatus/acquisition/provenance precede qualitative observation; omit media when provenance fails.
- Discussion/Conclusion: complete interpretation before the short close; synthesize in evidence order; future work names decisive tests.
4. Global Round-4 rules to freeze
- Comparator-first: bind target, controlled role, physical zero/baseline, chain and estimand before inference.
- Evidence escalation: named capability → Legacy Kármán independent field evaluation → bounded Kármán/cloak-only interpretation; cross-cases do not inherit deeper levels.
- Local caveats: put mask/window, acquisition, causal, transfer, theory and provenance limits with the affected sentence/caption.
- One job per paragraph: delete package chronology, inventory prose and panel narration.
- Ownership: Contracts owns reusable definitions; Capability Fig. 1/progression; Performance detailed Legacy L2/DTW; SR deployment/law/deletion; Field/CCD corrected means/residual/modes/POD; Cross-case changed-contract extensions; Steady/theory V5 endpoint/sign/failure; Experiment provenance/observation; Conclusion synthesis/limits/tests and no new evidence.
- Caption/body division: caption states chain, case/role, comparator, metric/coordinate, source and ceiling; body explains inferential consequence.
- Display discipline: inventory never means existence. Every retained display needs owner, job, source, readiness, caption ceiling and fallback; text and artifact readiness stay separate.
- Equation discipline: freeze reusable notation once; do not duplicate owner equations; Conclusion has none.
- Bridges: gap → contracts → capability → independent Kármán evaluation → law complexity → field accounting → non-transfer → steady context → qualitative deployability → limits/tests.
- Claim ceilings: positive SR Kármán/cloak only; Illusion SR historical/negative; CCD descriptive/noncausal using exactly action-correlated correction-field modes; OID claim-free; steady contextual; experiment qualitative, open-loop and provenance-gated.
- Notation/chain: preserve
Kármán,Re_D,Re_code, spatial L2 versus Level/Stage, DTW orientation, action order/sign, ROI/mask/window and percentages. Legacy/V5 never pool, continue, validate or imply equivalence. - Metric boundary: periodic mean/phase, event-relative, mean-only, steady profile/
E_inf_vector, and native/normalized DTW are non-equivalent. M04/M06 means are different estimands; SR action magnitude/V5 spin are related contextual diagnostics only.
5. Author decisions for macro discussion (maximum five)
- Figure density and main/supplement split. Recommend the minimum argumentative main set; move derivations, qualification matrices and optional diagnostics to supplement; omit before crowding. Decide final Fig. 1 panels and optional Re400/limit markers.
- Gated displays. Recommend omitting standardized PPO/SR/zero, quantitative Vortex/Erase, and MFS field panels unless exact gates close. Decide whether CCD operator/POD/evidence-map displays do distinct work.
- Experiment inclusion. Retain a short author-owned subsection only if provenance supports a named qualitative observation; otherwise use a limit/interface sentence and omit media. Quantitative validation remains prohibited.
- Discussion/Conclusion split. Recommend separate integrated Discussion and short Conclusion because multiple non-equivalent chains require synthesis before compression; safe fallback is one top-level section with clearly distinct functions.
- Introduction freeze and title. Freeze Introduction last; retain the provisional title unless reopened. Any title change triggers terminology/claim audit.
6. Section-specific crosswalk
| Section | Recommended sequence | Primary display contract | Ownership | Main fallback |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Introduction | concept/boundary → difficulty → capability/gap → evidence-chain need → scope/bridge | No owned empirical display; optional prospective Fig. 1 reference | Full ladder, concept, gap, scope | No display; five-job funnel |
| Contracts | comparison need → plant/chain → action/sign → observation/objective → metrics/roles/windows → qualification | Required contract table + minimal schematic; reusable metric equations | Reusable definitions and qualification | Compact table/schematic; supplement detail |
| Capability | viewing contract → steady seed → dominant Kármán → bounded extensions → limit/deep-case selection | Kármán-dominant distinct-contract Fig. 1 | Progression, evidence levels, deep-case choice | Source-bound panels only or prose |
| Performance | exact Legacy contract → mean/phase L2 → DTW → retention boundary → SR question | L2-first display; DTW subordinate; V5 inset optional | Detailed Legacy result and retention boundary | Compact table |
| SR | surrogate boundary → deployment → law → execution → deletion → field question | Required deployment map/law/deletion; direct role panel gated | Executable law, imposed structure, arbitration, tested deletion | Equations + deletion table |
| Field/CCD | four roles → means/ledger → limit → residual → CCD → POD boundary | Mean before modes; residual equation required; CCD operator optional | Corrected means, residual, descriptive modes, POD boundary | Scalar ledger + residual equation |
| Cross-case | framing → event-relative → non-zero target → blocked/failure route → envelope | Distinct-contract display; quantitative Vortex/Erase gated | Comparator renewal, evidence levels, negative routes | Case-contract table + sourced visuals |
| Steady/theory | return → V5 endpoint → bounded description → outer reference/failure → export | Sign contract and failure required; endpoint gated; MFS blocked | Separate-chain endpoint/sign/context/theory failure | Sign schematic + endpoint table + trace |
| Experiment | purpose → apparatus/provenance → qualitative comparison → limit/test | Author-supply-gated media; no quantitative panel/equation | Frank-owned provenance and observation | Prose interface or omission |
| Discussion/Conclusion | ladder → interpretation → envelope → tests; short close | Required limitations table; map optional; no new equation/result | Integrated answer, limits, tests | Discussion prose + limitations table |
7. Macro-discussion input
Author-ratified decisions carried forward
- Assembled order: Introduction → contracts → capability → Kármán performance → SR → field/CCD → cross-case → steady/theory → experiment → Discussion/Conclusion.
- Freeze order: contracts → capability → Kármán performance → SR → field/CCD → cross-case → steady/theory → experiment → Discussion/Conclusion → Introduction last.
- Claim ladder: named cross-task capability; Legacy Kármán Re100-only independent field matching; bounded Legacy Kármán/cloak-only control-skeleton interpretation.
- Planning shares: Introduction 10%, contracts 13%, capability 11%, Kármán performance 12%, SR 17%, field/CCD 17%, cross-case 10%, steady/theory 6%, experiment/limitations/conclusion 4%. These are carried R2 allocations, not new measurements.
- Physical chronology: steady discovery → Kármán → Vortex → Illusion/Erase → qualitative experiment, with steady as an early seed and later contextual return.
Coordinator recommendation; not author-ratified
- Preserve both orders and keep SR, field/CCD, capability and cross-case as distinct ownership units.
- Protect the Kármán block as the analytical centre; cross-case and steady define breadth/boundaries, not competing interpretation.
- Apply the claim ladder sentence by sentence; interpretation remains Kármán/cloak-only and noncausal.
- Retain the minimum display inventory: contract table/schematic; Kármán-dominant Fig. 1; Kármán performance; SR law/deletion; mean then residual/CCD; bounded cross-case display/table; steady sign/endpoint/failure; provenance-gated experiment if available; limitations table. Optional operators, insets, maps and blocked panels are drop-first.
- Retain the minimum equation inventory: reusable definitions in Contracts; SR deployment/law; scalar identity only if retained plus residual in Field/CCD; event equation only with a retained quantitative result; steady definition only if not imported plus one outer-reference boundary. Full derivations go to supplement.
- Keep result ownership exclusive: previews name conclusions without values; owners carry exact comparisons; Discussion compresses without replay.
These recommendations remain discuss until recorded as author decisions; they do not become frozen by appearing here.
8. Handoff and quality gate
- Present the five decision bundles to the author for macro discussion; record decisions or safe omissions in the global ledger. Do not falsely freeze unresolved choices.
- Freeze architecture only when ownership, bridges, ladder, notation, space and display/equation inventory agree. Optional panels may remain gated; retained required panels with missing source or roles remain unavailable.
- For section freezes, reread the owning R3 dossier and current authorities, not only this crosswalk; run local near-collision and caption-ceiling checks and require coordinator second audit.
- Before Round 5, audit
Kármán, Legacy/V5,Re_D/Re_code, spatial L2 versus Level/Stage, DTW orientation, action order/sign, ROI/mask/window, percentages, equation ownership, duplicate detail and whitespace.
Gate-A handoff: the ten-memo style set is PASS and ready for macro discussion through the five author-decision bundles. Optional display dependencies and later section-freeze checks retain their recorded gates. No manuscript prose, literature, internal number, artifact or panel is created by this audit.
