Section 7.3, paragraph 4Recall 8/15 and restoration accuracy measure different things

Informal interpretation Motivation, interpretation or scope; not a formal claim.

1 Paper text

Different metrics. The recall 8/158/15 measures the fraction of nonzero nim-sums detected by the exact least-significant-bit channel. Restoration accuracy instead measures whether a complete selected move cancels the full nim-sum. A resemblance between the recall and a training plateau is not evidence that the same learned mechanism produces both.

2 Explain this

Two numbers near 0.53 appear in the paper: the single-head recall 8/158/15 and the restoration plateau near 0.54. They measure different things (detecting nonzero nim-sums through the lowest bit versus choosing a complete cancelling move), and their resemblance is not evidence of a shared mechanism.

3 How this is formalised

An interpretive caution; nothing is formalised.

4 Lean statement and source

No Lean statement corresponds to this claim. This is interpretation or motivation, not a formal mathematical claim.

Build evidence: fresh isolated rebuild of all 38 bundled modules with Lean (version 4.26.0, started 2026-10-10T15:21:56Z, finished 2026-10-10T15:27:00Z: 38/38 modules compiled, 1588 axiom reports, no errors. See Build for the commands and the independent audit of 2026-10-10 (dated evidence).
