Discovery success is evaluated by bounded reduction of a material UNKNOWN. Human curiosity itself is outside the Gate.\n\n## Calibration\nA retrospective, non-blind 15-episode calibration found two false-negative classes in a single-action Gate: self-created dependency laundering and serial local optimality. This is not an accuracy estimate.\n\n## Unknowns\n- Whether the Gate reduces drift under fresh work.\n- Whether it suppresses useful Product discovery or serendipitous Learning.\n- Whether Gate overhead becomes bureaucracy.\n- Whether Sequence signals can stay heuristic rather than hard thresholds.\n\n## Next verification\nResume commercial Mail. Apply the Gate to fresh Company work only after the current Mail path is moving again. Record what it blocks, what it lets through, and any useful discovery it would have incorrectly suppressed.\n\n## Truth boundary\nDo not claim the Gate is implemented, proven, or autonomous. The observed episode is the drift; the Gate is the proposed response.\n",
