# Cycle 01 — Close bundle

Date: 2026-10-12. Internal close review under D-0012. Evidence cutoff: `4b9916491491d3c94e251b64589c79a40b99ece4`, after D-0011 and its verified publication. This bundle accepts the finite commitments and their documented limits; the Autorite program stays open-ended.

## Mandatory output index

| Required output | Canonical evidence |
| --- | --- |
| Initial manifest and questions | [Initial Cycle manifest](https://github.com/omasim/Autorite/blob/cycle-01-close/baseline/v0.1/CYCLE_01_MANIFEST.md), [initial questions](https://github.com/omasim/Autorite/blob/cycle-01-close/baseline/v0.1/01_FOUNDATIONAL_QUESTIONS.md), [resolved manifest](https://github.com/omasim/Autorite/blob/cycle-01-close/cycles/cycle-01/manifest.json) |
| Executed packages and dispositions | [RP002A](https://autorite.net/sources/rp002a-package-review/), [RP003](https://autorite.net/sources/rp003-package-review/), [RP004](https://autorite.net/sources/rp004-package-review/), [RP005A](https://autorite.net/sources/rp005a-package-review/) and D-0004–D-0007 |
| Preregistrations and operational protocols | Frozen baseline protocols; [RP002A second confirmation](https://autorite.net/sources/rp002a-confirmatory-002-protocol/), [RP003](https://autorite.net/sources/rp003-operational-protocol/), [RP004](https://autorite.net/sources/rp004-operational-protocol/), [RP005A](https://autorite.net/sources/rp005a-operational-protocol/) and original source/input freezes |
| Positive, negative, equivalent and indeterminate evidence | The four VALID Results, immutable run directories and complete audited reports; outcomes summarized below |
| Deviations, incomplete attempts and invalidations | [First RP002A attempt](https://autorite.net/sources/rp002a-confirmatory-001/) with its interruption review; [late Checkpoint A timing deviation](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-checkpoint-timing/). No INVALIDATED Result is present at the cutoff; INCOMPLETE is preserved separately |
| Synthesis Review | [Synthesis Review 1](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-synthesis-review/), accepted by D-0009 |
| Foundation Review | [Foundation Review 1](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-foundation-review/), accepted by D-0009 |
| What Changed | [Dated change record](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-what-changed/), accepted by D-0010 |
| What Remains Open | [Dated open-work register](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-what-open/) plus D-0011's later source receipt and primary-model limits |
| Canonical knowledge snapshot | [Snapshot guide](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-knowledge-snapshot/), full evidence/hash/graph inventory and immutable `cycle-01-close` Git anchor |
| Transition Record | [Accepted transition](https://autorite.net/sources/cycle01-transition/), D-0011; prepare query-relative lineage field ablation after separate Cycle 02 entry and protocol review |

The original dated reviews retain the statuses at their own cutoffs. In particular, the older foundation/open registers preceded receipt of the supplied secondary report. D-0011 subsequently accepts a ten-unit report-scoped archaeology pilot; those historical records are not rewritten as if the source had been available earlier.

## Retained results and interpretation

| Package | Accepted finite outcome | Scope boundary |
| --- | --- | --- |
| RP002A | 60 independent units, 120 learned fits and 484 hashed outputs; two benefit, four equivalent and one indeterminate decision under the registered .01-nat margins | Conditional fixed-generator/procedure/budget comparison; no recurrence or full-history necessity. The first attempt's 36 completed units, 73 fit traces and 295 outputs remain separate, without a Result or pooled decisions |
| RP003 | All 11,100 ordered paths replayed; exact-feature endpoint control has 0/1,550 failures; local tolerance has 848/5,396 endpoint and 1,136/5,396 prefix counterexamples; all 1,876 eligible variation-bound controls pass | Finite declared grid and criterion choices; no empirical prevalence, universal identity theorem or new mathematics |
| RP004 | 216 query truths, 864 decoder rows, 60 pair comparisons; R0–R3 correct counts 90/141/201/216, UNKNOWN 126/75/15/0, wrong zero; query conflict witnesses 129/9/3/0 | R3 suffices in the six known constructions; minimality remains unproved. UNKNOWN alone is not information loss |
| RP005A | 24 planner rows, 12 paired comparisons, 35 structural source certificates; two positive, four zero and six negative outcomes; raw and B=3 inclusion pass | Full-information supplied rules, designed finite DAGs and selected-endpoint coverage; structural reachability does not expand, and indefinite safety is untested |

These denominators describe different objects and are not pooled. The report-scoped DAM X pilot is a source review, not a fifth scientific Result. Its two S4 and one S5 candidates remain provisional; seven survival assessments and original version/operator/evidence reconstruction remain open.

## Explicit internal close review

All twelve preceding obligations have actual dated evidence and ACTIVE acceptance Decisions. Review the complete obligation ledger, all four Result-to-Test/package/protocol/run traces, source receipt, negative/indeterminate evidence, incomplete attempt, checkpoint deviation, synthesis, foundation, change/open records and transition. Accept this indexed bundle and its source-bound snapshot as the thirteenth obligation under D-0012. Set Cycle 01 to CLOSED with 13/13 equal obligations together.

The missed pre-RP004/RP005A checkpoint remains a process failure. The later checkpoint does not backdate authorization. Future research must pass the recorded source-bound gate before execution. Automated checks establish storage/reference/source integrity; this acceptance is explicit internal self-review, not independent peer review.

Four packages remain CLOSED and their four Results VALID. Q-0/Q-2/Q-3/Q-4 remain ACTIVE; Q-1/Q-5 remain OPEN. Baseline v0.1 and the prior checkpoint anchor remain preserved. D-0012 adds one governance Decision, giving 39 living records, with no Claim/Assumption instance or scientific promotion.

## Snapshot and publication

The evidence inventory binds the 38-record pre-close state to its actual cutoff. The completed CLOSED source commit contains this bundle, the snapshot guide/inventory, D-0012 and the complete manifest. A subsequent metadata commit pins that completed commit as `snapshot_ref`; the immutable `cycle-01-close` tag points to exactly that SHA. This avoids a self-referential commit hash. Merge preserves both commits as ancestors; the close anchor is never moved.

After both Site deployments succeed, a separate publication record binds their exact version/deployment/source IDs and canonical content commit, moves the living Cycle from CLOSED to PUBLISHED and supplies `publication_refs`. The closed anchor remains CLOSED and the ring stays 100%. Historical source reviews, research runs and evidence are preserved in the anchor.

## Open questions, next entry and corrections

Continue from the accepted Transition Record: prepare field-deletion sufficiency within its eight-mask class and two declared query families, openly reusing the six known RP004 constructions. Cycle 02 is not opened by closure; it still needs its own finite manifest/package, scoped prior-art and protocol review, independent truth/verifier, input/source freeze, resource preflight and pre-execution acceptance. No legacy architecture or explicit transfer acceptance is invented.

Primary DAM/DAM X sources, stronger survival assessment, general preservation, revision, relational sufficiency, open-world representation and robust-safety questions remain in the knowledge state. A later material error or source discovery receives a new Decision and affected-status review. Preserve this close snapshot and original negative evidence rather than rewriting history.
