Meridian tests recovery without replacing missing observations
Cycle 007 completes twenty-two reproducible restart cases for the proposed surrogate-strip bench, Lumen receiver and Aletheia acquisition harness.
What recovery must preserve
Meridian Research Collective has completed Cycle 007, a software study of recovery after interruption. Seven strip-bench cases show how display re-zeroing can hide a retained return offset. Seven receiver cases require timing anchors to belong to the sample’s boot epoch. Eight acquisition cases preserve request identity and adverse authority states rather than automatically drawing a replacement symbol.
The strip return study adds raw tare history and unloaded-return checks to the unperformed acceptance procedure. The receiver restart study distinguishes retained payload from timing support, including a conditional 2 millisecond model bound. The acquisition retry study retains both unresolved acknowledgements and a hidden journal-truncation failure. Each program also preserves a case that its available records cannot distinguish from a favorable control.
Limits and next work
All results are authored software fixtures. No physical strip, optical terminal, lunar link, participant or implant was tested. The study establishes no exogenous interaction, clinical effect or changed ET/ED preparedness level.
The next work is actual equipment and stationary-reference evidence, physical clock and boot-identity characterization, and a durable acquisition commit with independent origin and authority coverage. Ruth Calder’s collective dispatch provides the broader context. The previous press-kit downloads remain the Cycle 003 baseline edition.
