Minimal decisive protocol
Blind matched-junction drive
Prepare the same typed local pair and boundary repeatedly, blind the operator to remote graph context, apply the declared global drive, and test whether the output topology is invariant to remote context.
- Prepare and image typed trivalent junctions with a distinguished principal arm.
- Randomize remote graph context while holding local pair and boundary labels fixed.
- Apply the same non-pair-selective pulse schedule.
- Blindly classify the four-boundary output and retain raw image stacks.
Decision rule: A local rewrite survives this test only if output class and boundary state meet the predeclared tolerance across matched local inputs and remote contexts.
Boundary: The result is limited to the named cell, preparation, pulse schedule, imaging pipeline, and tested finite graph contexts.
Controls
- negative: Matched junctions without the drive. (pulse amplitude; No drive should not create the declared rewrite signature.)
- matched: Remote graph context is randomized while local labels remain fixed. (remote topology; A local mechanism predicts no systematic output dependence on remote context.)
Observables and units
Observables| Observable | Units | Measurement | Uncertainty reporting |
|---|
| output topology class | categorical | blinded multi-view defect reconstruction | annotate inter-rater and reconstruction uncertainty |
|---|
| boundary invariant | Q8 class | predeclared algebraic label | report classification ambiguity |
|---|
Calibration and repetitions
- voxel-to-micrometre scale: calibrated reference grid and independent focus check — scale drift below the predeclared reconstruction tolerance (µm/pixel)
Replicate unit: independently prepared junction; minimum 30, independent 10.
Randomization: remote context and trial order randomized
Stopping rule: stop only after all matched blocks or a predeclared safety stop
Uncertainty: junction preparation, optical reconstruction, pulse history, and classifier disagreement; carry label and scale uncertainty into output-class comparisons; publish per-trial labels, excluded trials, and raw image hashes
Success and falsifiers
Success
- Matched local inputs produce the same declared output class across randomized remote contexts. (context-conditioned output agreement >= predeclared tolerance with confidence interval reported descriptively fraction)
Falsifiers
- Output class changes systematically with remote context while local pair and boundary are held fixed. (remote-context effect > predeclared effect threshold effect size)
Confounds and raw artifacts
- unlogged spatial field or tweezer guidance selects reconnection: map fields and retain intervention logs; mitigation: blind and randomize intervention schedule
- multiview-image-stack · lossless image plus metadata · retain immutable hash and original files
Nonclaims
- The cited chiral-nematic work does not establish interaction-net rewriting.
- This proposal does not claim a universal local rule, confluence, computational completeness, or a device.
- A passing finite test would not establish a production mechanism.
Provenance boundary
The sources motivate material context only; they do not supply the proposed rewrite claim.
