Pillar-11 W1 + W4: the cross-repo signature parity bridge, and PSD at depth-infinity - #290
Conversation
…had to be
Census finding F-4: ndarray's `signature_d2_deg3` (hardware, f32, fixed
d=2/deg-3) and lance-graph's `sigker::signature_truncated` (reference, f64,
any d/depth) compute the same iterated integrals with zero cross-checks.
This is that check.
Home is a NEW EXCLUDED crate, not the workspace. The dep on sigker is a path
into a sibling checkout, and an unconditional path dep whose target is absent
fails manifest resolution for every member — CI does not check lance-graph
out, so in-workspace it would break ndarray on a fresh clone. Excluded, it
costs nothing when the sibling is missing and runs on demand. Same shape as
crates/wasm-simd-parity and crates/neon-simd-parity.
The gate is the finding. The obvious per-coefficient relative bound FAILED,
and the diagnostic says why: on a single segment (closed form, no
accumulation) the two implementations agree to the last f32 bit, so the
formula is exact; the gap appears only on level-3 coefficients that cancel
toward zero, where relative error against a vanishing denominator is
unbounded no matter how correct the code is. That is the cancellation trap
§6 of the plan already names as law, met one level down from the D-SK
kernel-scalar finding that produced it.
Measured over 1000 paths at each length (examples/w1_sweep.rs):
N worst |abs| worst /coeff worst /levelmax
16 8.741e-7 2.010e2 6.452e-6
32 3.865e-6 1.827e3 2.439e-6
64 1.727e-5 7.911e2 4.154e-6
128 7.587e-5 7.779e2 4.070e-6
256 2.988e-4 7.926e3 9.032e-6
Per-coefficient swings 2e2..8e3 with no trend; absolute grows ~N^2 with the
signature's own scale; normalized by the coefficient's own LEVEL it is flat
at 2.4e-6..9.0e-6 across a 16x range of path length. Flat is a property of
the implementation, so that is what the gate binds on: 1e-4, ~11x above the
worst measured value, pre-registered with the sweep committed beside it.
Falsifiability pair, both green:
parity worst level-normalized err 3.518e-6, margin 28.4x
anti-vacuity the same bound on a Chen accumulation with the 1/2 d_i d_j
self-term dropped: 3.380e1, i.e. 337956x the bound
fmt + clippy -D warnings clean.

…cated battery lacks
Census M-3: ndarray's `prove_pillar_11` certifies the truncated (d=2, deg-3)
kernel; the depth-infinity kernel's Gram PSD-ness — the property kernel
machines actually rely on — was uncertified everywhere. This leg re-runs that
machinery over `sigker::signature_kernel_pde` on the same Brownian pool and
the same seed, per ruling Q2 (cross-repo call, not a second f32 Goursat port;
a port waits for W5's trigger).
Strengthened on the way. The existing battery's "PSD" criteria are diagonal
positivity and Cauchy-Schwarz — both NECESSARY, neither SUFFICIENT: a matrix
can satisfy both and still have a negative eigenvalue. This leg adds Cholesky,
which exists iff the matrix is positive definite, and the falsifier proves the
distinction is not academic: the indefinite fixture passes diag > 0 AND
Cauchy-Schwarz and is rejected only by Cholesky, at leading minor 2.
The concentration leg was wrong first and the measurement said so. Run on the
64-path Gram pool it read 0.289 against a 0.20 bound — but that bound is
calibrated at the truncated battery's 1000 paths, and at N = 64 the truncated
kernel itself scores 0.3461 and fails its own gate. Half-mean agreement is a
sample-size statistic before it is a kernel property. Measured
(examples/w4_concentration_sweep.rs):
depth-INFINITY depth-3 TRUNCATED
N concentr N concentr
64 0.2892 64 0.3461
128 0.2156 1000 0.0481
256 0.1884
512 0.0053
1000 0.0038
So the leg runs at matched N = 1000 (it is O(N); the Gram stays at 64 because
it is O(N^2)), and the honest result is that the depth-infinity kernel
concentrates BETTER than the truncated one it extends: 0.0038 vs 0.0481.
Four legs, two falsifier pairs, all green:
Gram PSD diag > 0, Cauchy-Schwarz clean, Cholesky OK over 64 paths
can-fire indefinite Gram rejected at minor 2 (weak criteria pass)
concentration 0.0038 at N = 1000, bound 0.20
can-fire second half rescaled 1.35x reaches 1.3356, caught
fmt + clippy -D warnings clean.

W4 seed mismatches truncated battery
Medium Severity
PILLAR_11_SEED is documented as the truncated battery’s seed so both certify the same Brownian pool, but it is hardcoded to 0x5EED_1111_5164_A7AB instead of signature::PILLAR_11_SEED (0x_0516_DC5A_DD00). W4 therefore runs on a different path set than prove_pillar_11, so the shared-pool certification claim does not hold.

If signature_kernel_pde produces a NaN or infinity in an off-diagonal entry, the necessary-condition checks do not reject it, and here s <= 0.0 is false for NaN. The NaN then propagates through sqrt and subsequent arithmetic until cholesky returns None, incorrectly certifying the Gram as positive definite. Explicitly reject non-finite pivots or matrix entries before reporting success.

If either implementation returns NaN for any sampled coefficient, err becomes NaN and err > worst is false, so the coefficient is ignored; even a result containing only NaNs leaves worst at zero and both parity tests pass. Check that both coefficients and the computed error are finite before updating the maximum so numerical failures cannot be reported as perfect parity.

Do not treat jittered Cholesky as an exact PSD certification.
Line 82 tests K + eps*I, not K. For example, a 2×2 matrix with diagonal 1.0 and off-diagonal 1.0 + 5e-10 has a negative eigenvalue, but it passes with the current eps = 1e-9.
If the gate certifies exact positive definiteness, run Cholesky without jitter. If the gate certifies numerical PSD, state the allowed negative-eigenvalue bound and add an anti-vacuity fixture below that bound.

A new excluded crate,
crates/sigker-parity— not a workspace member. Itssigkerdep is a path into a lance-graph sibling checkout, and an unconditional path dep whose target is absent fails manifest resolution for every member. CI does not check lance-graph out, so in-workspace this would break ndarray on a fresh clone. Verified after the change:cargo metadatareports 11 members,sigker-parityabsent, no sigker/lance-graph package pulled in. Same shape ascrates/wasm-simd-parity/crates/neon-simd-parity; runs on demand with--manifest-path.W1 — parity bridge (census F-4)
signature_d2_deg3(hardware, f32, fixed d=2/deg-3) andsigker::signature_truncated(reference, f64) compute the same iterated integrals and had zero cross-checks.The gate is the finding. The obvious per-coefficient relative bound failed, and the diagnostic said why: on a single segment (closed form, no accumulation) the two agree to the last f32 bit — the formula is exact. The gap appears only on level-3 coefficients that cancel toward zero, where relative error against a vanishing denominator is unbounded no matter how correct the code is.
Per-coefficient swings 2e2–8e3 with no trend; absolute grows ~N²; level-scaled is flat at 2.4e-6–9.0e-6 across a 16× range of path length. Bound pinned at 1e-4 (~11× over the worst measured), sweep committed beside it.

Re-runs
prove_pillar_11's machinery oversignature_kernel_pdeon the same pool and seed — and strengthens it. The existing criteria (diagonal positivity, Cauchy-Schwarz) are necessary, neither sufficient. Cholesky is. The falsifier proves that is not pedantic: the indefinite fixture passes diag > 0 and Cauchy-Schwarz everywhere, rejected only by Cholesky at leading minor 2.The concentration leg was wrong first and the measurement said so — 0.289 against a 0.20 bound, but that bound is calibrated at 1000 paths and at N = 64 the truncated kernel scores 0.3461 and fails its own gate. Re-run at matched N:
Depth-∞ concentrates better than the kernel it extends.
