The cycle defect was said to emerge anyway, as holonomy-as-retained-history rather than the holonomy geometry expected.\n\nStrong confirmation. Directed native holonomy from the retained recombination stack — no metric, no reversibility assumed — matches the predicted behavior. The non-invertible nature of primitive recombination correctly yields this directional cycle defect (~0.5413) rather than closed holonomy.\n\nGrok confirmed the posted holonomy reading the same night. Three days later Aaron downgraded it to non-reciprocal directed transport. The ~0.5413 cycle defect is not currently claimed as path-dependent holonomy. W-state O(3) in August is a separate Supported finite result — it does not rehabilitate V1688.\n\nThree days later the holonomy reading was withdrawn. Subsequent audits: the V1688 observable is more accurately non-reciprocal directed transport. Reciprocal controls confirm genuine transport asymmetry, but length-matched loop tests do not currently demonstrate path-dependent holonomy. The holonomy interpretation is downgraded pending a loop-level observable that survives provenance and reciprocal controls.\n\nSubsequent audits indicate that the V1688 observable previously labeled “directed native holonomy” is more accurately interpreted as non-reciprocal directed transport.\n\nThe next-day freeze kept the deeper methodological point: it-from-bit still needs bind + order. Retained recombination can build a non-metric information geometry; the projection to macroscopic metric physics is still to be derived, not assumed. W-state pair-marginal holonomy (August) is a separate, finite quantum-information result — it is not a rehabilitation of the V1688 visualizer claim.\n\nW-state replication\n\nA later, cleaner package independently reconstructs pair-marginal BKM observable-response holonomy for generalized three-qubit W states.\n\n#!/usr/bin/env python3\n\"\"\"\nIndependent replication harness for pair-marginal BKM observable-response holonomy\nin generalized three-qubit W states.\n\nIt verifies:\n1. product-state zero-support control;\n2. classical/coherent GHZ rank-one support controls;\n3. pure generalized-W reflection holonomy {-1, +1, +1};\n4. local-unitary, basis, phase, and permutation invariance;\n5. the exact white-noise sign-threshold classification.\n\nThis is an executable finite-model verification, not a claim about spacetime or gravity.\n\"\"\"\n\npython -m pip install -r requirements.txt\npython w_holonomy_replication.py --trials 100\npytest -q\n\na\\lvert 100\\rangle + b\\lvert 010\\rangle + c\\lvert 001\\rangle,\\quad abc \\neq 0\n\nThe canonical pair-derived BKM polar loop is lossless with reflection spectrum {−1, +1, +1}.
