No cubic lattice imprint in the quasar sky
No cubic lattice anisotropy in the quasar sky: cubic ℓ = 4 signal at p = 0.2298 (battery NULL, p = 0.230); any cube-aligned distortion is below 1.20% rms (95% CL).
A direct search for the cubic symmetry a simulation grid would imprint on large-scale structure. Null, converted into an upper bound on lattice-aligned distortion.

Status, honestly
R0 pass 2026-07-09 (null result — bound) | kill test added by the 2026-07-26 sweep. This status was assigned by hand from the public re-run audit above — it is a judgement made from that evidence, not a number this site computed for itself. What cannot move it is authority: no vote, endorsement, or say-so, from anyone including the maintainer. Independent reproduction would move it; nothing else will.
What this claim's own script draws. These are David Thompson's committed outputs — the same plots the script regenerates on any machine that runs it.
