# Audit: Magic Phone Phase-Lock Simulator

## Verdict

This is the closer of the two uploaded projects to a genuine HIRM model because it has evolving states, interactions, a ledger, and release events. The original version nevertheless encoded several desired conclusions directly into update rules. Default opposition locking produced an almost total freeze, while the stated fractional release and the actual state deletion disagreed.

Audited v1.1 corrects those implementation failures and incorporates the current HIRM mathematical checkpoints: local dynamics, reversible locks, complex state vectors, signed Bargmann loop phase, `g(γ)=1/2 sin²γ`, the `±1.1518` chirality ambiguity, a Page-style information ledger, and Kerr/Hawking scaling proxies.

## What counts as progress

The code can now test whether a chosen set of effective rules:

- conserves its own ledger;
- produces or fails to produce release without global freezing;
- generates loop-phase/chirality distributions;
- shows the expected Page-proxy turnover;
- remains stable under seed, tolerance, graph, and parameter sweeps.

That makes it a useful *hypothesis workbench*.

## What is still assumed

- The oscillator coupling law and network topology.
- The relation between phase burden and black-hole microstates.
- The LuxG target and its effect on release.
- The `1/M²` release hazard and all coefficients.
- The mapping from one released ring to radiation information.
- The Page proxy rather than a calculated radiation density matrix.

The simulator therefore does not yet establish that the mechanism occurs in nature.

## Required scientific gates

1. **Baseline controls:** run matched ensembles with LuxG disabled, loop burden randomized, and ordinary Kuramoto dynamics only.
2. **Identifiability:** show that HIRM parameters can be recovered from synthetic observations and are not interchangeable.
3. **Robustness:** publish seed/graph/tolerance sweeps with confidence intervals rather than one illustrative run.
4. **Derived observable:** map the internal state to one external quantity—ringdown residuals, echo timing, radiation correlations, or another measurable statistic.
5. **Model comparison:** compare HIRM and baseline likelihoods on held-out data with a preregistered metric.
6. **Ablation:** remove each special rule and quantify exactly which claimed behavior disappears.

Until those gates are passed, the model is a coherent toy mechanism, not evidence for a new black-hole theory.
