Handback, stage D6: the retelling, the model with its forms inside it

Legs D6a-01 to D6a-08 and D6b, 27 October 2026, corrected at D6a-09 on J's rulings (27 October, 09:27 Berlin, through the handler). One leg per aggregate dimension, then the telling, then the corrections. Outputs:

The forms are the six room forms of D4a-08c by their final names, and the 35 branches are the level below (the PI's message for D6, on J's word). The model is the one frozen at D3 (46384686…), unchanged at this stage. The P05 and A11 amendments are held proposals (QD4-001), stated in full in the retelling. No data file changed at D6a-09: the ledger, branches, forms, form lines and branch lines stand as they were.

Local validation is not established. prior.md section 3's measure was not computed, and every member's adapted local account is unresolved. Every room the telling names as showing a pattern shows it in its ruled lines, not in a validated account. No account relies on the kind of an add-condition, add-step or restrict line (J after the D3c interview). The canvas is not read anywhere in this stage.

The claim

Each of the six forms changes the part of the shared model its name says. A changes the terms with neighbours and the plan, C the design, D keeping, help and carrying on, F the spot and the move, and E the host sub's April Fools play. B is a residual grouping whose three facets are the chat, the scripts and the raids. Of the 396 form lines (66 elements and arrows by six forms), 37 specify, 35 restrict, 324 leave the unit untouched, and none replaces it.

That no form replaces an element shows less than it seems. The coding vocabulary made replacing nearly unreachable: the readers returned 11 contradict lines among 42,243 at the first return and 4 among 53,493 at the re-check, and none stands among the forms' selected lines. Many restrictions are failures. Of each form's restrict lines on arrows, as sorted at D5, 43 to 63 per cent say that the arrow fails in the room: A 201 of 432, B 135 of 292, C 172 of 301, D 171 of 316, E 130 of 304, F 72 of 114. The forms do not show that the level below never contradicts the level above. They show that the vocabulary gave almost no way to say so, and that the rooms' lines often said it as a restriction.

Most single cells are leans at the rule's own thresholds. 20 of the 72 changed cells keep their relation at ratio 1.5 and floor 15 per cent, and 52 do not. D, E and F keep their central changes. B keeps its scripts and its chat, and C keeps the design. A keeps none. Record size explains less. With each form's rooms matched to rooms of the other forms of the same record size, and separately of the same amount of canvas-work concepts, 62 of the 72 cells keep their lean and 10 are size-dependent: A 4, E 3, and B, C and F one each, D none. A is the most fragile form on both tests.

By the rooms' own word, the forms that changed keeping (D, with C) kept the work alive to the freeze most often. After it, the rooms that coordinated most were the chat and script rooms of B, then rooms of A and D. These are readings of the record, not tests.

The form I am most sure of: E, The sub's play, run as work. One element carries it: 56 of its 84 defining rooms add steps to the April Fools frame, against 18.5 per cent of the 558. The cell keeps its relation at the stricter thresholds. One branch family explains it: F01's rooms are 54 of the 58 holders, and each subform (F02 to F06) explains a part.

The form I am least sure of: B, Behind the thread: chat, scripts, raids. It is a residual grouping, not a form, with three facets held by different rooms at about chance overlap:

7 rooms hold all three, against 7.4 if the facets were independent, and 20 hold none. 43 of its 113 defining rooms lie nearer another form's centre, the most of any form. Its seven changes may describe three sets of rooms.

The form that best supports the claim: D, Keeping, with help or carrying on. It changes 17 units, the most, and keeps 6 of them at the stricter thresholds (keeping, carrying on, the returning call, the host's room for canvas talk, scripts offered and debated but not shown placing, and carrying on before the record). Ten branches have lines in it (F04, F11 to F14, F18, F22 to F24, F27).

The form that most threatens it: E. Ten of its 13 changes are restrictions, eight of them on arrows. Its share of restrict lines on arrows that say the arrow fails is the lowest (43 per cent), and many of its lines say the record cannot show the order. Its records hold the play and the reports of the canvas work, and less of the work between them. If a form's restrictions track how thin its record of the canvas work is, the forms partly sort records, not organizing. The size-held test answers part of this. Matched on canvas-work concepts, E keeps 7 of its 8 restrictions on arrows. Three of E's 13 cells are size-dependent (A02 on canvas-work concepts, A10 and A09 on record size).

The condition between them is whether a form's record holds the canvas work between the call and the report. Where it does, the form specifies the model where it works (A, C, D, F). Where it does not, the form restricts the model's arrows (E).
