SORT Version 7 Workstation Validation Run — Archived Pre-Audit Computational Snapshot

This record preserves the original SORT Version 7 Workstation Validation Run as an archived pre-audit computational snapshot. The package remains a reproducible record of the finite workstation architecture implemented at the time of publication. Its source scripts, generated outputs, manifests, hashes, and frozen ZIP package are retained unchanged for provenance, inspection, and historical reproducibility. Following publication, a broader forensic and foundational audit refined the mathematical distinction between: the heterogeneous SORT operator family; the global structural projector; the Gaussian damping kernel; kernel stability and projector idempotency; historical reference parameters and independently derived quantities. The audit established that the workstation package should no longer be interpreted as the current foundational validation status of SORT Version 7. Its recorded gate results remain valid for the specific finite surrogate architecture implemented in the release, but they do not validate the reconstructed foundational SORT operator, projector, and kernel semantics. The record is therefore classified as: an archived pre-audit computational snapshot; a reproducible historical artifact; a provenance record for the development of the SORT validation architecture; superseded for current foundational validation claims. A comprehensive SORT Version 7 Foundational Scientific Reconstruction is currently rederiving the mathematical foundations through explicit definition, derivation, symbolic and numerical evidence, independent review, and staged scientific acceptance. The resulting reconstruction will provide the controlling mathematical basis for future validation releases and for the later SWORD execution architecture. No original result files, manifests, hashes, or archived outputs in this record have been silently overwritten. Status Note Scientific status update — June 2026 This record remains publicly available for provenance and reproducibility. It should be cited as the archived pre-audit workstation artifact, not as the current foundational validation of SORT Version 7.
