USR-2026-0040 · Discreteness
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).
PROVISIONAL
null result — cube distortion < 1.20% rms (95%)
re-run & confirmed 2026-07-09 (R0 — founder CI; independence pending)
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.
Falsify-box — how to kill this claim
SURVIVED
DEAD if the cube-aligned l = 4 amplitude (max over the 300-orientation template bank) exceeds the script's own 3 sigma verdict line - p < 0.0013 against a mask-matched and C_l-matched isotropic null - in Quaia or in an independent tracer; equivalently, if a cube-aligned modulation of >= 1.20% rms is present, which the script's own injection ladder says would be detected >= 95% of the time.

Status, honestly
R0 pass 2026-07-09 (null result — bound) | kill test added by the 2026-07-26 sweep. Status here is computed from evidence — the author cannot set it, and neither can we. Independent reproduction would move it; nothing else will.
