USR-2026-0018 · Topology

No simple-box cosmic topology works: across torus, Dirichlet, and Neumann boundary conditions the simulated even/odd parity ratio stays at 0.97-1.05 — no box reproduces the sky's odd-parity preference.

KILLED killed — no box makes odd parity re-run & confirmed 2026-07-09 (R0 — founder CI; independence pending)

Every simple compact-box boundary condition was simulated; none produces the observed odd-parity excess (which ΛCDM itself yields with probability 0.6% in the corner combination). The box hypothesis is dead by its own test battery.

AUTOPSY REPORT — killed (self, the most honored outcome here)

Date: 2026-07-09 · Epitaph: "Every simple box was tried — torus, Dirichlet, Neumann — and none makes the sky's odd-parity preference; no matched circles back a compact box either. The box died; the corner-observer question survived it."

Status, honestly

kill test fired: no boundary condition reproduces odd parity. Status here is computed from evidence — the author cannot set it, and neither can we. Independent reproduction would move it; nothing else will.
