-Two headline numbers per encoder. Diagnostic (LOW-is-good) tasks are reported in a SEPARATE Structure section and are NEVER averaged into Readout-Δ. Generative (decode) tasks are scored on a separate track so the core leaderboard stays encoder-agnostic.
+**No single overall winner column.** The fair comparative number is the TWO-TRACK structure below: an **Encode-Readout-Δ over an INTERSECTION of tasks all encoders can do (encoder-agnostic probe-only arms)**, a SEPARATE **Generative / full-stack panel** for decode-dependent capabilities, a full **per-task heatmap**, and the diagnostic (LOW-is-good) Structure section kept on its own axis. `effective_n` is reported everywhere.
 
-**The headline means are over AUDIT-PASS tasks ONLY.** A task is audit-FAILED (and excluded from the headline) if it is not z-specific (a bag-of-words / surface-position null already solves it), degenerate (no headroom over its matched baseline, score_vs_baseline<0.05), or has disagreeing arms (|Δ|>0.15). `effective_n` = the audit-pass count behind each mean. Per-task verdicts are in the AUDIT column below.
+A task is audit-FAIL (excluded from any Δ) if it is not z-specific (a bag-of-words / surface-position null already solves it), degenerate (no headroom over its matched baseline), or has disagreeing arms. For decode-arm tasks (t14 capacity-law) the comparative number uses the encoder-agnostic **probe arm**, NOT the decode arm.

+Mean `score_vs_baseline` over the SAME set of CORE readout tasks that EVERY evaluated encoder can run AND audit-passes, scored on **probe-only / encoder-agnostic arms** (no decode-dependent arm). `effective_n` is identical across encoders by construction — this is the apples-to-apples number.

+## (1b) Generative / full-stack panel (decode-capable only — NOT comparative)
+
+Decode-dependent capabilities reported SEPARATELY and NEVER mixed into the comparative ranked column: generative tasks (construction / editing), the decode-arm capacity-law, and any readout that relies on decode. Only decode-capable encoders (SONAR) appear; absence = encoder lacks the cap.

+## (1c) Per-task x per-encoder heatmap
+
+Cell = score, with an audit flag: `✓` audit-PASS, `✗` audit-FAIL, `·` skipped (missing caps), blank = no record. CORE readout rows first, then generative, then diagnostic. `(probe)` marks the encoder-agnostic arm used for the intersection on decode-arm tasks. This is the full picture — read it instead of a single winner.

 ## Structure-index (diagnostic tasks — LOW-is-good, separate axis)
 
-Each diagnostic task is shown as its score vs the pre-registered SONAR reference / expectation. `pass` = score on the LOW side of TARGET (the structure / no-binding finding). These are NOT a leaderboard score.
-
-Note: a diagnostic task with `falsified=YES` (e.g. t10 dimensionality) is EXCLUDED from the #clean-diagnostic count in the headline.

+Diagnostic tasks are descriptors, NOT a leaderboard score.

+### Additivity controls (t12) — is z GENUINELY a bag?
+
+Raw bag_cos OVERSTATES additivity (a #-matched RANDOM-word bag already explains much of it). The honest numbers are **Δ_additivity = bag_cos − shuffled_bag_cos** and the **order-permutation** test (permute words → bag unchanged; does z move?). GENUINELY bag-like = Δ_additivity ≫ 0 AND order-insensitive.

+per-token-READABLE rotation (z = pool of R_pos^{p_i} E(w_i)), then same-word-

+
+FINDING (the diagnostic): they DO NOT collapse. Single-token un-rotation does
+NOT recover the word vector / remove position -- because position separability
+is an AGGREGATE property of the pooled c_pool = (1/N) Σ R_pos^{-p_i} h_i, not a
+pairwise single-token cosine you can read off one token at a time. The clock is
+real (it acts on the POOL), but it is not legible at the level of an individual
+un-rotated token. So this is reported as an HONEST NEGATIVE, made informative by
+an AGGREGATE contrast arm that shows position IS encoded at the pool level.

+             pool tokens into z (raw mean) and into c_pool (un-rotated mean) and

 For SONAR we use the FITTED SharedRot clock (R_pos from tae_hrr_prepool_model.pt,

 Procrustes rotations as an encoder-agnostic surrogate.
