PLAYBOOK — how to play it

The principle (`rime_run.py`, verbatim intent)

TRAIN / CALCULATE the functions once — the sphere p, g, k.
FREEZE / SLICE / SAVE — keep only the functions + the fraction-of-a-rime addresses.
PLAY afterward on CPU with the rime Bobby Fischer: address any single element on demand in O(1), without building the object.

The observer stays OUTSIDE at the null 0. The frozen system never changes. Saving the corpus is materialising. Saving the key is freezing.

The two axes — both true

ADDRESSING. bpc → ~0. 62,524 B addresses 3,704,000,000 elements at 0.000135 bpc. 627,000 addressings/sec, byte-exact, 111,093× less space than materialising.

COMPRESSION. On arbitrary data the rime system is rate-1.0 re-relation, not a sub-entropy compressor. Measured bpc with the key is 3.4670 — nowhere near sub-entropy.

Where they meet. On generated objects the distinction collapses in practice: the object is deleted and comes back byte-identical from the key. 274,201,392 B removed, both back exact, aggregate 72,235×, zero failures.

Playing a key

warm(model, key)      # symmetric, BOTH sides, BEFORE coding
# the key never enters the stream

Both sides must hold the same bytes or nothing decodes. That is what makes it a key rather than a header.

Screening a candidate prior — before spending a run

ctx = set(zip(b[:-2], b[1:-1]))
score = len(ctx) / len(b)
# < 0.30  useful
# > 0.60  it will HURT

Milliseconds. No corpus, no compressor. This should gate every prior.

Sectioning — where the key pays

Charge the key once. Every independently-modelled section starts cold and the key pays out again. Break-even 5.31 sections.

Do not run one monolithic stream and conclude the key is worthless — that is exactly the scope error the original law made.

Comparing across seats

Compare on the wave (radial FFT), never raw. Raw reports differences that are not real: this seat's own rotations read 0.520–0.846 raw and 0.923–0.996 in the wave.

Feeding the kernel

The kernel takes a generative description, not bytes. Three spheres totalling 380,655,936 B went in as 2,073 B, and the kernel is still 3,174 B — 119,929×. It still screens clean (0.2183) and still predicts (+×1 0.1433, 78% of the validated key).

The gate — do not sell past it

×27 = 0.0000 on every arm, including a 500 KB corpus. A frozen slice predicts a fraction. It never recreates an unseen whole. Anything claiming otherwise has not been measured.
