# Decision 0005 — RP003 Cycle 01 package disposition

Date: 2026-10-11. Status: ACTIVE. Explicit internal post-outcome research/package decision. The user requested continuation after the completed audit and the proposed package-disposition review.

## Decision

Accept the specified finite RP-003 commitment as completed. Set RP-003 to CLOSED and resolve the Cycle 01 `rp003` obligation as `completed`. Retain the completed RP002A obligation and all 13 equal-weight entries; the other 11 obligations stay unresolved. Cycle 01 remains ACTIVE and completion becomes 2/13 (15.4%). Q-0 remains ACTIVE.

## Evidence and rationale

`research/RP003/RP003_PACKAGE_REVIEW.md` explicitly assesses P0–P3, minimal counterexamples, criterion signatures, path information requirements and boundaries against the unchanged baseline and pre-outcome operational supplement. The complete audit saves and independently replays all 11,100 paths. Test TST-RP003001 and Result R-RP003001 retain all seven outcome families and their antecedent counts. Nine frozen inputs and five output hashes match; required controls and resource bounds pass.

Local metric tolerance can fail the endpoint and prefix judgments; endpoint return can hide intermediate changes. Exact-feature equality and the variation sufficient bound pass their declared positive controls. These negative and positive outcomes complete the finite audit rather than establish a general preservation theory. The package review preserves the distinction between finite counts, known-answer calibration and separate elementary mathematical arguments.

No new experiment, fitted tolerance, changed criterion, excluded path, count reclassification, broad Claim promotion, Q-0 resolution, novelty clearance or metaphysical identity theory is created. Baseline, frozen inputs, run, Test and Result remain unchanged. The audit-stage report is preserved as the snapshot before this disposition, with its later status made explicit in current publication views.

## Review boundaries and next work

This is internal review, not external peer review or whole-Cycle synthesis. It completes no checkpoint, graph review, Foundation Review, transition or close bundle. Future scope extensions are open directions rather than retrospectively required work or accepted transfers to a fabricated receiving Cycle.

Proceed to RP004 protocol preparation next. This decision authorizes no RP004 execution and establishes no branching/lineage result. A material artifact or methodological defect, invalidation or incorrect interpretation requires a new Decision to reopen RP-003 and revisit its Cycle obligation; original run bytes remain preserved.
