kaal:claim:7598518-034

Claim. A substrate was declared procedure-invalid by the operator before any run or reading, with no pre-run rule fired and no written reason recorded, and its nine registered tests stand at a p-value of one with no other label, so the filter is tested on one substrate, a two-dimensional mixture with simulated validators.

Type. empirical · Support. stated

Holds when

• The paper draws no inference from the invalidated substrate.
• The declaration is one of two departures from the frozen procedure that the paper discloses.

Source quote

The operator declared it procedure-invalid before any run or reading. No pre-run rule fired, and no written reason was recorded. Its nine registered tests stand at p equal to 1 with no other label, and the paper draws no inference from it. The consequence is plain: the filter is tested on one substrate, a two-dimensional mixture with simulated validators.
