#!/usr/bin/env python3 """ QUANTUM ENGINE VERIFICATION — against quantum mechanics, not against itself. The physics engine was checked against published Lorenz constants. Same standard here. PART A the PUBLISHED ARCHIVE — free, offline, no QPU time A1 conservation: counts must sum to the declared shot total A2 Born-rule sanity: measured marginals in [0,1], no impossible outcomes A3 THE WEIGHT-BIRTH MECHANISM. cosmos_born.pt was made by mapping measured bitstrings to uniforms u = int(bits)/2^n, then to weights through the inverse normal CDF z = sqrt(2)*erfinv(2u-1). If that pipeline is correct, z over real archived shots must come out standard normal: mean 0, sd 1, and the right tail fractions. This is checked on her ACTUAL archive, so it verifies the mechanism that literally created her weights. A4 serial independence is explicitly NOT inferred from histogram counts; the archive does not retain within-job shot order. PART B LIVE HARDWARE — the CHSH Bell test A local hidden-variable theory cannot exceed |S| = 2. Quantum mechanics permits up to 2*sqrt(2) = 2.8284 (Tsirelson's bound). Running CHSH on the backend her engine actually uses is the one measurement that cannot be reproduced by any classical process, however clever. If S > 2 on her hardware, the quantum path is genuinely quantum. If S <= 2, everything downstream is classical randomness with a receipt. Cost: one job, four circuits.
