/proof/wave5000
Historical governed-acquisition projection, preserved for audit.
Control-closure snapshot, recorded 2026-10-10: the WAVE5000-CONTROL-CLOSURE0 record established final acceptance from the retained evidence, with rank 4940 resolved and resume not authorized. This page is a dated audit record; for the live control posture see /collections/wave5000. The historical numbers below are preserved unchanged; on their own they are not current acceptance evidence.
Governed acquisition proof
Counterpedia attempted a frozen 5,000-rank acquisition plan under governed admission, receipt issuance, retained-byte custody, and streaming independent verification.
The preserved projection records 2,938 captured ranks and 2,062 legitimate capture failures. These figures are historical read-model data; they do not establish current final acceptance.
Scale proof
762 ranks required at least one retry.
Captured outcomes recorded by the historical projection; not current acceptance evidence.
Terminal acquisition failures kept separate from governance/integrity failures.
One admission and one outcome receipt for every governed attempt.
Historical projection records retained-byte verification for every projected captured outcome.
Preserved projection count. The control closure (2026-10-10) recorded both STOPs as resolved.
The interesting part
A clean demo would have been less useful. Twice, opaque Ed25519 signature bytes happened to contain credential-shaped substrings. The verifier treated them as suspicious, stopped execution, and required a reviewed repair before the same run could continue.
rank 2909
historical reconciliation recordedThe local G13 secret-marker scan matched random opaque Ed25519 signature bytes. The original STOP stayed in the ledger; a landed scanner repair reverified the exact receipts and retained bytes before append-only reconciliation.

rank 4940
historical reconciliation recorded · resolved per control closure (2026-10-10)This historical projection recorded an ARCS signature false-positive reconciliation.
arcs_signature_prohibited_value_false_positive
The historical projection is preserved without rewriting its counts or digests. The control closure (2026-10-10) is drawn from the retained evidence: a fresh acceptance run over the operative reconciliation journals resolved rank 4940. No resume was authorized.
Independent verification
The historical projection records a frozen verifier and a successor verifier. That transition is retained here as historical read-model data; on its own it does not establish current acceptance. The control closure below binds the same successor verifier to a fresh acceptance run.
Frozen audit identity
These SHA-256 values are preserved exactly from the historical projection. They are identifiers for that prior read model, not current final-acceptance authority. This page does not publish the local custody files themselves.
Control closure snapshot · 2026-10-10
Acquisition code at the closure's recorded commit ran a fresh acceptance from 2026-10-10T08:31:32Z to 2026-10-10T09:13:34Z. It ran over the retained ledger and the operative named-lineage reconciliation and disposition journals. Its output is byte-identical to the historical final-acceptance projection. The historical execution ran before those journals reached their operative state, so the historical projection alone does not establish current closure. This record is a control record, not a receipt or new evidence.
Boundary
Acquisition and verification do not silently become admission, support, truth, publication, or external authority. The historical projection records each movement boundary as zero; the control closure authorizes no additional movement.
From scale proof back to the product
This historical WAVE5000 projection records a scale experiment. Counterpedia Check remains the user experience: bring an answer or source, inspect individual findings, and follow retained evidence without collapsing it into one aggregate truth score.
