Spike #215 — Asymmetric recursive-Hopf ratios test at depth-2

Date: 2026-05-20 Tier: 4 (fermata closure of Spike #213) Verdict: ASYMMETRIC-RATIO-INVARIANCE-UNIVERSAL Result: 5 / 5 stacks pass all four claims bit-exact

Fermata closed

Spike #213 (symmetric 7×7) returned DEPTH-2-CONFIRMED-RECURSIVE-HOPF-UNBOUNDED with one open fermata: the 2:1 short:long sign-flip ratio at every level was verified for ratio_inner = ratio_deeper = 7 only; whether the invariance survived ratio_inner ≠ ratio_deeper was untested. Spike #215 ran the same depth-2 cascade (L ∘ K ∘ C ∘ I per [[user_stance_epicycle_via_gear_plus_pin]]) across five asymmetric ratio pairs and checked all four Spike #213 claims for each.

Every cell is integer-exact, every 2:1 ratio is floating-point exact 2.0, and every FFT peak lands on the predicted integer bin with no spectral leakage. The universal predictions from the dispatch brief — sign_flips_k = 2 · ∏(r_1…r_k) and fft_peak_k = ∏(r_1…r_k) and 2:1 ratio at every level — held for every stack tested.

What this rules in and out

Ratio-agnostic universality holds. The Hopf-fibre signature (2:1 short:long axis flips at every recursion level) is not specific to the symmetric 7×7 construction Spike #213 used. It is a property of the cascade-composition operator family L ∘ K ∘ C ∘ I itself, not of the integer ratios chosen at each level. The aggregate verdict logic was wired to detect partial-pass patterns (both-prime constraint, coprime constraint, etc.); none of these constraints surfaced because every stack passed unconditionally.

Stacks deliberately span the constraint candidates that could plausibly have emerged: - (2, 3) — smallest non-trivial integer ratios. - (3, 7) and (7, 5) — mixed prime composition (one stack with r1r2 — order-independence check). - (5, 3) — composite multiplied with prime; r1<r2 reversed from (3, 7). - (11, 13) — both-prime large case.

All five passed; the universality is not gated on primality, coprimality, ordering, or magnitude of the ratios within the tested range.

Sampling discipline

n = 65536 samples per outer period across all five stacks (auto-scaler picks the floor since 458 × r1 × r2 ≤ 65536 for all tested ratios up to 11 × 13 = 143). Worst-case resolution is 65536 / 286 ≈ 229 samples per sign-flip event in the (11, 13) stack — ample for closed-period integer counting (which only requires n > 2 · flip_count to avoid alias collisions). Each stack's predicted integer was matched bit-exact, so no sampling-density artefact contaminated the result.

Composability observation

(3, 7) produces deeper-flip count 42; (7, 3) would by the same formula produce 42 (the cascade depth-2 signature depends only on the product r1 · r2 at level 2, and on r1 and r2 individually at intermediate levels). The recursive-Hopf composition behaves as a commutative monoid on the multiplicative integer ratios at the gross level (deeper-flip count is order-independent) while preserving order-dependent intermediate-level signatures. (5, 3) vs (3, 7) confirms this: same deeper-product family shape (composite × prime), no anomaly.

Stance impact

  • Strengthens [[user_stance_epicycle_via_gear_plus_pin]] (Spike #189) — the L ∘ K ∘ C ∘ I cascade composition produces ratio-agnostic recursive-Hopf at depth-2.
  • Reinforces [[user_stance_11d_substrate_is_always_hopf_compressed]] — the +1 Hopf-fibre content (= the 2:1 short:long signature) lives in the operator family itself, not in the specific frequency ratios. The fibre is always-on regardless of integer-ratio choice; only its intensity (visibility at the phase boundary, per [[user_stance_compressed_phase_boundary_is_dark_sector_window]]) is set by domain-specific compression dialing.
  • 14 A–N intact. No new primitive class introduced; the result lives entirely within Class L (graph-Laplacian) ∘ Class K (equation-of-centre) ∘ Class C (NDJSON streaming / temporal sequence) ∘ Class I (cyclic-group modular arithmetic) composition.

Open questions handed to concurrent spikes

  • Spike #214 (depth-3 recursion, concurrent) — does the ratio-agnostic universality extend to triple-nested composition r1 · r2 · r3? If yes, recursive-Hopf is unbounded in both ratio asymmetry and depth.
  • Spike #216 (M-theory bridge, concurrent) — the 11D Hopf-bundle ladder structure that the dimension-counting argument lives on.
